WHAT IS PSP?!

There wasn't enough room for the square button's switch because of the screen so it's off to the side. So if you want it to work you have to press on the right side of the button.

Here's a picture of it:

There is also an article telling about the problem as well as Sony's "screw you" attitude:

Sounds stupid.....

Well the thing that really gets me mad is when he said he "didn't want the PSP's LCD screen to become any smaller than this, nor did I want its machine body to become any larger". I would rather have it larger, than have to deal with a « Silkie Rooster »-eyed button.

lol.....I agree

Even more reliability. 0_o Gees... WHY HAVE A BUTTON ON THE SCREEN?

Anywho, Fawkes, are you the same as Lord Fawkes at the Tales of Symphonia forums?

Nope, I am not Lord Fawkes.

That's horrendous!!

What a cocky guy. ""i belive we made the most beautiful machine in the world." Yeah right!

Try computer, airplane, car, spaceship, etc...

Down with PSP!!

The quote I found the most funny was "Nobody would criticize a renowned architect's blueprint that the position of a gate is wrong. It's the same as that." Uhm, I think a renowned architect would indeed be criticized if he positioned the gate so it was tight against the house and didn't open properly. I wish he'd get off his high horse and fix the problem.

They've recognized that problem with the square button and are fixing it, assuring that none of the units shipped in the U.S. will have that problem.

Kafei, have you even seen any pictures of PSP games? Sure I'm suckered in by impressive graphics, but the DS is running 2D puzzle games while the PSP has 3D racing, RPG, FPS, and sports games...

Here's a game I'm looking forward to...the Godfather.

Edit: There you go, fawkes.

Graphics are good and all, but it's story and gameplay that really counts. And the DS has more of that.

Well I hope they recognize the problem with the square button and fix that as well.

That Godfather game looks VERY good. The PSP has a pretty good game line-up, in my opinion that is. However, I won't be saving up my hard earned egg-money until the design problem is fixed and they offer a basic system without all the forced extras.

How 'bout this. They're both good because they both play video games which are really cool things.

sunzhongshan · Post Posted: Feb 23, 2005 11:27 am

I think they look equally fun, except that PSP costs more and has to have a memory card.

Just to clear it up, the problem is fixed, although I assumed you were kidding in your post. I agree that they should offer a standard package without all of those unnecessary extras though.

Sumner: yes, of course graphics aren't all that matters, but they sure don't hurt.

The fact remains that I haven't seen very many games at all for the DS that interest me gameplay-wise.
