The PlayStation Portable Sorta-Review
Over the past two weeks, I've been preparing to write a rather extensive review of Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP), but I've changed approaches. You'll read plenty of spec-by-spec breakdowns and feature analyses elsewhere, so what follows is my not-quite-review of the PSP - some highly positive thoughts on the machine, its games, and potential, notes on some of its serious problems, and color commentary on its chances against Nintendo's DS. Don't forget to see our first photo gallery here. Another gallery may follow in the next day or so.
I'll preface all of this by saying that I'm no fan of Sony Computer Entertainment, and personally would prefer to see it punished rather than rewarded for its obnoxious public relations practices, low-quality manufacturing, and egregious treatment of third-party developers. But these feelings won't stop me from giving the PSP the considerable praise it's earned by delivering an initial slate of excellent games and a new hardware platform that has both humbled long-time leader Nintendo and strongly deterred other potential competitors.
