Im sure the PSP hardware revised over and over until sony comes out with a new model that has all the old issues, just like the PS2.

The PSP is part of a money hungry corperate whore, built for idiot gamers that cant think. The GP2x is designed for people with half a brain and want to use it.
I think thats a bit fanboyish Foxx373 :P
But anyway Sony won't ever make a revised version of the psp. Doing this will mean that sony will have to say it screwed up. And they will NEVER do that.

The PSP is a great system and does a great job at what it's designed to do. If Sony ever made a system with built in emulaters they would be diging their own grave so deep into the ground they won't be able to see the light of day. I own a PSP and a DS and I think they are both amazing and if I had another $200 CAD to spare id get a GP2x. But I like the new games coming out and prefer to play them then all then old SNES games (and I only have 2 SNES games so anything else I did with a GP2x would be ilegal...)

Eather way your explanation is very fanboyish. Whatever your reason for not likeing the PSP atleast voice it in a civilied way.

I'm not a great athority on it but you can buy one from the official site for $170 something US.

It just came out so theres not that much software out but because it's open source stuff should pop up very quickly.

EDIT: The PSP's hardware is very solid (sept the screen, but it's not horibly common) it's the fireware and games that need some work, and the only thing that will affect this is time.

Lik-Sang is not selling the GP2X because of problems with the product, so don't buy from them.
