Teaches you how to use the PSP, apparently.

They say the PSP can play AVI movie files. last I knew, it could not, which was a near endless source of frustration to me. has something changed in the 2 weeks I havent had the thing?

Oh, and they never once mention that it plays games. way to go.

You mean it plays games?!?

It looks to me like they're trying to advertise to the non-gamer market, completely ignoring that they're competing with the iPod and cell phones.

Sony just has no idea what the hell they're doing with the system.

Re: WTF, Sony

Y'know, maybe the reason for the PSP debacle is because Sony just plain FORGOT it played games.

Re: WTF, Sony

It's pretty big too. It just barely fits comfortably in a coat pocket.

And all those face buttons.

And that analog nub.

And no L2 and R2?

SONY DROPPED THE BALL.

EDIT: Plus, there should be at least 8 new Metal Gear games a month. \:3

PSP goes on foot!

Re: WTF, Sony

I e-mailed them asking why the video says it supports AVI files when it doesnt.

I'll let you know if I get a response.

Re: WTF, Sony

Tell them they have big butts and they smell, too.

Re: WTF, Sony

I'm hoping they say that they're going to allow AVI playback. that'd make me a lot more eager to get a new PSP, thats for damn sure.

Re: WTF, Sony

Did anybody see the PSP ad about the teenage boy seemingly being hit on by a perv in the restroom? Who thought that was a good idea? The peeing himself part was funny enough but throwing in the pedo joke just made it creepy.

Cop outs.

Re: WTF, Sony

That a soulless corporation for you. In the future, talking to anybody is going to be like that.

Don't you just love auto responses?

[Valkysas]

Re: WTF, Sony

its not an auto response, since it fits my question so well (which I forgot to post... oops).

But it is just as cold and impersonal as an auto response, and it does manage to completely ignore my question of WHY the video makes that statement.
