Um, what "cutting edge technology?" The PSP hardware is 5 years old for god's sake! Sony is asking us to pay 80.00 more for....

1.) The same technology that's in the original PSP
2.) a smaller screen
3.) no UMD drive
4.) incompatibility with previous memory sticks and accessories

If Sony wanted to charge more, they should've went ahead and made this the PSP2 and added the 2nd analog stick and touch screen. As it is, this is a complete rip off!

Yes, I know they've included blue tooth which imo was a waste (unless you can use the device as a phone, what's the point?) and they've included 16gb of ram but we all know that ram is dirt cheap when bought in huge bulk.

No I'm sorry but as much as I love Sony products, the price on this is NOT justified! At MOST this system should cost 199.99.
