2 years letdown

Sony has also fixed that weird Square Button issue, where they had to make it very stiff to keep the screen size at such a high resolution, but come on. It’s like the graphics vs gameplay thing; you can have a system that looks amazing, but forget about playing it. That’s what Sony, and more specifically, Ken Kutaragi were saying with the PSP. But I guess all is better now that the PSP Slim’s face buttons are back to a point that we’ve attained with the NES.

In the end, Sony has fixed a lot with the PSP Slim. With the original system, you had to deal with its shortcomings in order to discover its beauty. But with the new version, a user needs a lot less patience to uncover that beauty. UMD’s are more than justified at this point, the system can last longer than five minutes, and the long load times will be a thing of the past.

But still, the PSP’s image is based on the original model, just as people continually talk about the N-Gage’s side-talking problem, even when the QD model fixed that. The PSP may always be that system that died in two seconds, took forever to load, and had that funky Square Button.
