I have a PSP, my original PSP-2000 from back in the day. I like my PSP. But it was up against the DS, the most successful handheld of all time. It was never really a threat to Nintendo’s eternal domination of handhelds.

Which is too bad, really. It could have been literally the best gadget on earth if Sony hadn’t hamstrung it with proprietary formats, a $200 smartphone in 2004.

You can never post in the same megathread twice

Well, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming

A bold new entry in the CGDCT genre

Battery tech has improved a lot, but enough power for a mobile device is a moving target too.

Shut the fuck up with this household budget analogy horseshit. My household budget is not a global reserve currency.

I would totally get the RG35xxSP if I didn’t already have a powkiddy V90.

A former Onion writer actually apologized for that one.

There are so many of the fuckin things they come in every possible size

The one person on earth specifically proven to be able to lose a presidential election to Trump

The actual handheld size handheld market is now all chinese emulator machines from companies like powkiddy and anbernic (and also smartphones)

The only store I’ve ever seen where “the back” is a real thing is microcenter. I’ve seen the salespeople there offer on their own to check the back, then come back a few minutes later with the item.

Center of weight?

There’s a funny piece of mythology where a bunch of rabbis are arguing about something and god comes in and says rabbi so and so is wrong and rabbi so and so tells him to shut up and butt out.
