    I hope you're kidding, I really do.

    I would hate to consider the amount of damage to sales and reputation you have done to Sony through this act. I hope they persue you for libel because if you were damaging my company's reputation and brand like this then I would be persuing you too. You stupid little fuck.

    You have let the cat out the bag - you owe us $1,000,000,000 - money we were planning to collecting from the gullible people and then shutting down the PSP division so we can replace it with a loss-making division that makes iPod clones with terrible DRM and unsupported music formats - wait, we do that already, don't we?

    Gizmondo is Game Boy Advance on steroids, crossed with an iPod, that does SMS and MMS, plays really great quality video, has a spot-on GPS (Global Positioning System), a great digital camera, and connects through Bluetooth and GPRS. And it fits in a shirt pocket. And it looks sooo sexy. Awesome." There’s not much more I can add to that really, is there?
    Oh yeah except Fuck Sony and their PR people!!

    And the Gizmonodo has a $400 price tag and hardly any game software. It's not even remotely comparable to the PSP since its main function doesn't even seem to be games.

    I seriously doubt sony would pull a product that on the whole is turning out cash. Several stores have sold out in America, as well as in Japan, there is an issue with dead pixels, but a vast majority of the products remain unreturned with really satisfied customers.

    If Sony is having a law suit involing a loss of funds, how much since would it make to drop something bringing them cash. It would be like getting an extra bill, so you you decide to put in less hours at work to try and make more money to pay it off.

    With millions sunk into the project, a hungry fan database, and hundreds of big hitting games in the near future, the PSP is here for the next little while.
