Remember when the PSP sucked?

When the PlayStation Portable was announced it was thought that it would swoop in, maul the Nintendo domination with its widescreen goodness, then we would all enjoy the 3D goodness in its portable goodness. Then the badness began.

Feb 3rd, 2005 SCEA tells us the launch date and gives us the WHOPPING price of $249.00. The web laughed and many doomed the system for a DOA.

remember when you sucked

[TripleTags]

I agree ;)

[kevoncox]

No disrespect but the psp still sucks. The thing that makes it amazing if the homebrew aspect of it. If not for the mod community the device would be practically useless. etter games are coming out for it but the main use of it is a hackers dream.

[TripleTags]

good debate but this is more about the system as intended. all most people hack their systems for is to steal games. If most actually supported indie game dev. and other efforts I am sure Sony would most probably just open it up. but the bitter truth is just that, pricks that don't appreciate the people who make games enough to pay for play.

[MaximusPrime]

in a year time, a similar news with title : "Remember when the PS3 sucked?"

[TripleTags]

i scoured for similar articles but found none .. link me.

[zapass]

the coats are turning like crazy.
funny what people come up with to disguise the fact that they got it all wrong :)

it was sooo hip to bash sony just a few months ago... within a couple months it'll be embarrassing just to admit owning a 360. A lot of bots are gonna require some serious prozac :-P

what a sweet revenge, Ken must be having a ball right now!

[PS360WII]

I do. There was nothing but PS2 games coming out on it with a handful of titles that could be called true PSP games. It's gotten better though. Little by little.

[Skerj]

I don't, I've always found games I wanted on the system since launch.

[Silellak]

Me too. I've never understood the "PSP HAS NO GAMES LOL!!!!" argument.

But then, a portable Hot Shots Golf was enough for me for awhile.

i love my psp (early adopter here) its always been the superior system in my eyes... the games are amazing. sure it doesnt have mario, but has anyone tried playing castlevania: symphony of the night streaming from thier ps3 on it? effing amazing! *heres to three more great years, PSP.... happy birthday!

[squallsoft]

The new Castlevania games on the DS are very cool as well and if you're a fan and perhaps have a DS you really need to pick those up.

PSX: Slow start then BANG

PS2: Slow start then BANG

PSP: Slow start then BANG

Wonder whos next...

[ChrisGTR1]

ps3 hasnt had that bang yet... so it still sucks.. not until in game xmb and some decent games are released will it stop sucking.

[TripleTags]

then i dont think you can be much of a "gamer" .. i will agree that the PS3 has still not had its bang yet though.

[SUP3R]

You are a perfect example of the type of people the article is referring to from the early PSP days.

[PopEmUp]

but the things is no body calling PS3 suck anymore unless you're the among those hd-dvd camp owners but oh well you seem to be owning the 360 along the way, then that might lead you to it. But the truth is you know who suck within your heart, that sad you know? but i am happy for you =)

[ChrisGTR1]

well then maybe im the only true gamer here.
i bought a 360 on launch been playing it ever since..
i bought a ps3 in november 07.. i was highly dissapointed by the lack of online features and games.
i bought a ps1 along time ago, resident evil, dino crysis,driver 1,2 crash, twisted metal 3. seriously wtf happend to the ps3. it used to be the most amazing console ever back in the ps1 days.

however mgs4 is looking awesome though.. cant wait. but then who knows when kz2 is coming out... sometime in 09 i bet. assuming because nobody has seen anything on this game since e3 long , long time ago.

[Gazman]

When did the psp suck, all I can tell is the write of the article sucks

[TripleTags]

I am sure if this was more of a "left" article you would probably actually leave a more substantial or contributive comment ;).

[Silellak]

No, I don't. I remember when people THOUGHT it sucked, though...

[TripleTags]

I hung in tight myself, there was a time there though when it just looked bleak. We have been used to consoles toughing it but I come from a day that saw several consoles, and hand helds (Game Gear) fail horribly.

[Danja]

It never sucked just that alot of devs were making crappy games for the PSP...but there was alot of great games to be found on the system in it's 1st year...

[ooop]

those idiots at xplay just wanted you to think that.

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 3]

NOPE!!! ;-D

[TripleTags]

Hello father ;)

[BlackIceJoe]

I really hate these kinds of news story's but they are good for the fanboys and nothing else.

Now onto what the article says I have always loved my PSP and would even go as far as saying it is my favorite system on the market plus I use it the most too. So I never thought there would be doom and gloom as some people would say. I love this system to death.

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 3]

...NOPE!!! ;-D

[Ri0tSquad]

Sucked. Are they serious?

[TwissT]

Wahhh? Psp sucked? Where was I when this event happened?

[sumfood4u]

But Anusus that drink up spoiled milk with spoiled opinions suxs!

[Iceman100x]

That was about 2 days ago not much has changed since then.

[Iron Man 2]

Yeah I remember,that was nearly three years ago,things have changed,the PSP IS the superior gaming handheld with the best games like God Of War Chains Of Olympus,FFVII:Crisis Core,Patapon etc.(sales don't matter,the DS is cheap as f*ck so that's why it sells),but thats not important right now,what is important is that the Xbox 360 is in the same position the PSP was at when it first launched,no good games coming out this year for the inferiorbox 360,that's why the PS3 will dominate this year whether you Xzombies like it or not!;)

[Elginer]

it still sucks compared to the DS.

[jinn]

i dont have to remember
