"I talk about the 5 weirdest Sony PlayStation devices. From weird business choices, to just weird in general! What devices from Sony do you think are the weirdest? Do you agree with us?" -- PlayStation Enthusiast
I think the PSP was weird in itself. I mean the tech was cool and all with the UmD, but Sony often pushes its own media with their consoles and doesn't always find success. The memory stick duo was and is expensive as hell.
I agree. What a weird idea lol. Seems like they were mainly just trying to be unique.
It's not always the device that's the weird part. Could also be the timing (PSP Go) and the lack of marketing (PSTV). Makes you really wonder what was the point of following through with releasing these things. Xperia phone could have been something special, then Sony didn't fully support it. WHY!? lol. Just weird.
Wonderbook is weird, but that easy platinum though!
I used to own a psp..first 1000 then 2000 then 3000 then after that I had a psp go and then I finally got a ps vita brand new..then lost that and the later in the year or month got a new used version of the Vita...so the journey has been really out there for me for the systems I used to own..all of them were great in there own special way..
Whether you’re hunting down the perfect phone for the hardcore gamer in your life or looking to treat yourself to an upgrade, the time has never been better. At present, there is a wealth of great options out there, especially for folks looking to play state of the art games on their smart phone. The following ten phones carry Hardcore Droid’s vaunted nod of approval for being the most hardcore Android phones for gaming on the go. If you are shopping for a phone for mobile gamer, you’ve come to the right place as any one of these bad boys is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of the most hardened, hardcore mobile gamer. If, on the other hand, you are just looking for a phone that stands out from the pack, and allows you to enjoy the best high-end mobile games in existence, you have also come to the right place as what follows is a list of the Most Hardcore Android phones of 2014.
Even as the power of mobile devices is outpacing Moore’s Law, and graphics power seems to double every year, it’s a sad fact that phones simply aren’t marketed toward gamers. Walk into a phone store and ask a rep about a phone’s CPU. If you’re lucky, they might tell you how many cores it has, but getting a real idea about a phone’s performance is going to require some independent research. Even then, not everything is equal. Chips grouped under the same family are sometimes radically different on the inside, and even a savvy shopper might be surprised to find his phone comes up short. We’re here to cut through the nonsense and give you some straight talk about which phones are best when games matter most.
For anyone using iOS, I suggest you try the stock android experience offered with the nexus 4. I used to prefer iOS but android has more customization and very recently competitive build quality.
I love mine.
This what should be compared to the iPhone not the Vita.
I hope Sony continues to support this device and maybe make another model that fixes the author's issues and improves on the design a little bit more.
Reviewing a phone that came out a year ago??
Get an Android and a Vita. MUCH better.
Alright, so they have a good phone. Though, i would debate whether it is as good as an iphone or samsung nexus, though the controller is nice. So, why not follow through on the tablet end too, or the PS vita. Most gamers are technical nerds like myself. No, i don't live in a basement, and yes, i work 40+ hours a week but i love my new nexus, and my ipad (i actually upgraded an iphone to the nexus. IMO, it is a superior device). Now, they are making an announcement soon for the ipad 3. It is rumored to boast a quad core processor with 2500x1500 resolution, allowing it's tech to remain at the head of the class. Many have purchased the vita already but many have not. With this type of power, the ipad 3 will now b able to play games similar to current gen consoles like the vita. But, it also has a market with half a million apps, as well as being able to do so much more on a gorgeous display.
I was so hoping that playstation could have teamed up with someone to create a tablet, or atleast offer the benefits of an android tablet. Instead of trying to compete with the 3ds, it should have gone head to head with the ipad. I really think many gamers would have been on board. I think we can all agree that this IS the direction that gaming is headed. And with the number of games and the bad economy, most people cannot afford a phone, a tablet and a mobile gaming device. Yes, it may be great for younger people that don't benefit from all the perks of the tablet, but i don't think this was Sony's intended target audience. I hope they do well because they need it. I love my ps3 and i know that sony cannot afford to keep losing money. I just think that they are a little behind the curve on this one.
