    Yeah their phones do generally still do things like microsds etc which is very nice I also like the psp but I’ve bought so many Sony products that develop weird faults straight after the warranty and the fact they alway push propriety cards etc.

    Its a weird company where divisions seem to actively sabotage each other I just don’t trust them at all.

      I also like the psp

      I like it too. I’ve even made a few calls with the Skype version for it.

      Lots of Star Wars and Forgotten Realms and Russian fantasy books and lots of porn stories have been read in its web browser.

      The music player felt nice.

      In general, I feel like that’s how “smartphones” should be.

        PSP is probably the best thing Sony ever made even considering the Walkman when they were a a+ Company. Psp has some super gems the sad fact is the Vita could have easily been even bigger if Sony themselves didn’t jump through hoops sabotaging the thing.

        The things they did that ruined it was using their own very bad card that barely lasted 6 months over microsd and they gave all the big title game releases to absolute garbage company’s like Nihilistic who have now renamed themselves several times because they make pure trash so they have to .

        I’m also pretty bitter over their top of the range Bluetooth speaker which for me began switching between bass mode and treble mode every two seconds straight after the warranty I mean maybe two days after . The fault make no sense at all if it was the button there would be a normal mode in there and I’d barely used the thing at all I’d used it maybe 6 tines. So to me that’s the killer how could such a fault happen if it wasn’t designed to.

        I mean if the fault made any real sense I would have bought it but it was ridiculous and then I started reading about the Sony kill switch etc.

          Vita

          PSP-2008 (slim) is the best IMHO, fewer things to break mechanically, immortal buttons, big enough for my clumsy hands.

          and they gave all the big title game releases to absolute garbage company’s like Nihilistic who have now renamed themselves several times because they make pure trash so they have to .

          We-ell, I played a few Star Wars games on it, and some more. Would like plain Battlefront II there, though. And playing KotOR II: TSL on PSP lying in grass in summer in sunny windy weather would be glorious.

          Sony kill switch

          That’s the company that would distribute trojans on official CDs.

          One of the reasons I was sympathetic to Apple at some point (EDIT: in the sense that them being malicious didn’t frighten me off) was that I liked PSP and Sony was just as bad. Then I realized that Apple simply doesn’t offer anything interesting though. Eh, neither did Sony after PSP.
