Why have a PSP in 2009?
We know the type, because we do this ourselves: you rush out to buy the latest gadget, sometimes even waiting in line at midnight with a bunch of other geeks. For a few months, you and your gadget go everywhere together: the mall, the movies, even to class. But after a while, the love affair starts to lose its lustre. Maybe a newer, glossier, thinner or lighter version is revealed (Apple and Nintendo are the worst offenders here). Or maybe you feel like you’ve simply outgrown your silicon-and-lithium-ion crush. This happened for a lot of people who bought PSPs on day one – massive hype led to massive disappointment a few months later as a library of hit games failed to materialize.
