I admit when I first saw the device because of the leaks I was excited for it. But then when the price was finally announced at $250 I lost all of my enthusiasm. I don't understand why they are saying it's a great value compared to an Ipod touch when I don't know who they are expecting to cross shop those two devices.
I'll wait for the next version of the PSP that has PS2 compatibility. I bet they are bound to come out with a PS2 on a chip device then sell all the old PS2 games as digital downloads. Hopefully it will have an oled touch screen (like they have on their new walkman) with dual sticks and 4 shoulder buttons (maybe the R2/L2 could be trigger type buttons that pop out of the back when the screen is slid open). That would be worth $250 to me. Even better if it can also double as a phone then it could be subsidized with contracts through the carriers, with a non-phone version also available ala ipod touch.
