lack of any type of demo disc included with the unit
graphics of the PSP just blow away the Nintendo offering
there s no sliding metal cover to protect the disc surface
not really large enough for music or video
Sony isn t too keen on this home brew style of gaming
the screen on my PSP has three dead pixels at the top
Structured and unstructured overlays P2P Gaming
earphones are garbage and should only be used in moments of desperation
slow and unavoidable
the system lacks vibration functionality
it takes a little getting used to
The layout of the buttons on the remote is a little awkward

Sony has nothing to lose
Only mp3 music files may be played on the unit
almost impossible to put the PSP down without a finger print

PSP is not a good system for children
the power button rattles a bit
not seeing Game Boy written anywhere on the system
glossy cover makes it unusable in direct sunlight
infamously unimpressive games library

It lacks precision
its multimedia functionality falls short of its full potential
Flash support is still lacking
small screen made the wait a bit more frustrating
overall Web performance is a little slow
