If it can act like a pda and surf the internet, I would really be impressed. Untill then, it is an overpriced toy that can be a half-assed dvd/mp3 player and can store file and view pictures.

If you aren't thrilled with the current games, no reason not to wait. Sounds like many of the things you want will be coming along in the next year. There is already a half assed web broswer and recent firmware leaks have several procedur calls to spreadsheet apps and assorted other pda type software. The Korea release shows a glimpse of what is to come in the near future, I think.

Thats why I am just gonna wait. A psp is certainly not something I need right now, and if there were no hacks ever included I would not pay over 100 dollars for the thing. Hell, last portable gaming system I ever owned was the Gameboy color, and I did not even buy it (my bros friend gave it to me). I am still playing the zelda: Age of seasons :)
