1. Comment - The Sony PSP perception problem: Is it losing its luster?

   (Jan 29, 2009 - 2:47 PM)

   The best thing Sony could do to save the PSP brand is make one that has a massive internal hard drive, and make *all* games purchasable and downloadable from the playstation store, much like Apple have done with their App Store for the iPhone.
   
   Portable media players such as the iPod have done away with the need to carry CDs or tapes with you wherever you go. Your entire music collection is sitting in your pocket. This is increasingly true for video content as well. I think people will soon demand a similar convenience from their portable gaming devices.
   
   Personally, I hate having to carry a bunch of UMDs in my pocket. I'd much rather have all my games stored on the internal hard drive so I can just pick one and play it whenever the mood strikes.
   
   With the iPhone and App Store, Apple has the right idea. The PSP has better games (and better controls for playing them). If Sony went the extra mile and did away with its antiquated UMDs, the PSP would quickly regain its "must have" status.
