Not All is Lost 

Good news comes from hackers who use the PSP’s multimedia functions to create homebrew software. This type of activity will keep the system alive long after Sony throws in the towel. The PSP can also now be linked up with TiVo so you can transfer your recorded TV shows and watch them on the go. Watching TV shows instead of movies makes more sense when you consider the PSP’s battery life. The downside is it’s an extra $25 dollars a month and can only be played back in 320x240 instead of the PSP’s native resolution of 480x272!



Another positive announcement is that soon Sony could be offering over 7,000 PS1 games to download to your PSP. With an iTunes type download service for games this is exciting news, just what the PSP needs. Finally plans for a price drop towards the end of the year could also help move units especially for those who are on the fence. It would also fix the money problem gamers face with all the new consoles coming to the market as mentioned above.
