Why that? Why complain over something so stupid? Because mostly it is human nature to compare things especially when you have a passion for the things you are comparing. But PLEASE get your facts straight! The PSP's battery life is not so terrible that you need you can only play for a short amount of time. They do have battery packs out for some more play time. It should be noted that if you slap the systems screen on high or medium brightness, then you definitly will see a decrease in play time. The same with the DS if it were in the same situation. What gets me about the PSP is that they allowed for all these new things that can be done but they wont allow it. What I'm talking about is the ability to store files on the PSP memory stick. They have an option to run a game off of the memory stick but no games support it's function at the moment. If they or some other game company had produced software to utilize this then I'd be happier. I would be able to make my own games and try them out on the go. If I'm tired of my creations someone else's create may satisfy my hunger but as of the moment this is not possible that is why hackers try to hack it. They say some game making software is to come over but the company making this software hasn't brought out any new light on whether it will release here or not. Someone tried an import version of the game and found out that the core engine was designed to utilize more than what the software is capable of. I think that is a rip off. No one is going to buy it if it can do more than what the custormer is offered.
