Yup. I got my PSP in 2009 and all I really have are "obscure" JRPGs and ports of PSX and Dreamcast titles. The only exceptionss are God Of War, Patapon and Tekken 5R.

Not surprised at Sony ending up with a low battery life because it was hinted to be low ever since the prototype stage where it was leaked how the device gets too hot when used for a long period of time and a stronger battery would have been too expensive at the time.
That battery life is about the same, but I can't tell you how frequently my PSP dies because it goes into sleep mode instead of turning off. So annoying. And it gets too hot because it's needlessly powerful. I don't need a fucking PS3 on a plane.

Yeah yeah, JRPGs, it's different because Nintendo is Nintendo, I am gay for Mario, etc.
Funny you say that then leave out the bit where I acknowledge that Nintendo's fucking up too. The only reason I'll pick a 3DS over a PSVita is because Nintendo will eventually fix their shit. They always do. There will be a godly version of the 3DS that will have 2 sticks, better battery life, more features, realistic mechanical lips that blow you while you play and a cheaper price point than the relative turd that the early adopters will be stuck with. It happens every generation. It's just a matter of playing the waiting game.

Its not amazing, but it's not bad either.

I'll probably buy one to (not really) make up for all the pirating I've done with the original. As long as Sony actually holds to of being able to buy everything digitally for the system, that's all I really will ask for. I might occasionally buy a game if its cheaper in-store, because lord knows PSN doesn't ever have any rousing deals.
Except that if I needed to play a PS3, I'd just get a PS3. I don't see the point in sacrificing battery life for power that 90% of the games released on this thing won't tap into. Plus, I doubt Sony's even begun to put any legit fixes into place on their online security.
