    They're just attacking the iPhone because they know the DS has them beat :)

    I think Sony should target the N-Gage.

    No it doesn't, have you even played the game? It plays a lot better than it looks in the screenshots

    Lol yeah, they won't even touch nintendo, need to attack someone else... Also the idevice can do much more than the PSP. They should just admit they are on the bottom of the handheld foodchain

    SONY is going about it all the wrong way. They still don't understand that one of the biggest reasons why people like the iphone over the PSP aside from games is because it has a ummm... phone!!! More then one reason to carry it.. a phone, internet, music, and games...not just games.

    SONY, add a phone to the PSP and see what happens.

    I have a feeling Sony is going to get destroyed by Nintendo(again) if they keep on paying attention to the wrong enemy.

    Yeah your right...

    Looks just like a PS 3 game....darn those misleading screen shots.

    It look like it 8 bits of swinging around, I think that the NES had a few games that played & look just like it.

    What do you have like two games???? Super quick hook & doodle jump...
    real technical advances

    Using footage of someone else's game in a commercial production? Ouch. Definitely not fair use.

    Steve Jobs should fight back with an ad of his own. He should walk on stage and try and make a call with the PSP, then give up and attempt to put it in his pocket. And after he realises it won't fit, he just throws it on the floor and pulls out an iPhone.

    You mean that thoroughly overpriced system that is less capable than the one it was originally meant to replace?

    Now, weren't you accusing someone of being a fanboy earlier?

    I love how the kids like "You can throw trash in a basket in real life, no need to waist your money" When they show a baseball game on the PSP.

    Boy, I sure am glad I'm not black and on this forum at the moment.



    Btw, I love how this iOS4 swaps to YouTube and then switches back - such a difference from os3 where it was so clunky! I'll never go back :D. And now YouTube videos in portrait! Woohoo

    ...Omega-F? He's the only one that springs to mind... and yeah I was. What's that got to do with anything though? I said Steve Jobs shoulda bought a Go because it's pocket-sized... that's-the-joke. In case you didn't realise, I own a PSP, DS, Wii, 360, PS3, Windows laptop, MacBook and iPod Touch so if you're accusing me of fanboyism I'd at least like to know which system I'm doing it to.

    Let me quote you, if you don't mind:

    Now, I assumed that you were somehow defending the PSP Go, though clearly you were making a specific joke -- for that, I apologize.

    For the record, I also own every system you list, except for the Windows laptop (what's the point?) and the home consoles (don't quite fit my lifestyle). And if the PSP-Go were $100 cheaper I would probably buy one, too, since I much prefer that form factor over the ridiculously bulky PSP.

    You must be new to sony's psp ad campaign... It's been like this forever. Sony is so out of touch with their consumers its depressing.

    Alright no worries, I wasn't really defending anything, I just think it's amusing how companies constantly take stabs at one another and it causes forums to erupt. The reason I bought a Go is because it was a present so price was no object, and I got the 10 free games deal :)
