You know what sucks? Playing your PSP outside. Why? Because someone could drive up next to you, step outside their car and rip the system out of your hands while you're trying to do something innocent like check your mailbox. This happened to a 13 year old boy and we can't help but chuckle and feel sorry for the chap. Someone jumped out of their car, ripped the system from his grasp and proceeded to speed off.We need to think like the thief for a second. This couldn't have been planned -- it was a spur of the moment thing. It isn't like they mapped the 13 year old's habits about checking the mailbox and if the child played a PSP during the trip. They saw a PSP, decided they wanted it, and took it. It's weird. A very strange "taking candy from a baby" mentality that we can't help but wonder why someone would do something ridiculous like this? Oh well. Just a note: if you play your PSP outside, make sure you attach a taser peripheral just in case.

Why do people grief? Why do people hack and screw up websites? Why do people teamkill?
Why do sane people insist on asking sociopaths questions?

I'm always afraid of this (I live in Brooklyn, NY). I take the bus and train so I felt someone could easily just run by and speed off with my handheld. This is why I use a wriststrap for both the DS and PSP.

I always use my wriststrap with mine, and I don't take it outside unless going to a store.

Yes, obviously Sony's ad campaign isn't working correctly.
Hope that PSP was included in their homeowner's insurance. What was he doing hanging out by the mailboxes anyway? Hope he wasn't still waiting for the GOW demo...

To balance out this situation I play on my GB Micro, DS Lite and PSP when out on adventures and I've never had a human, monkey or head lice steal any system.
