Am I the only one that has a PSP with very noticable motion-blurring? Maybe it's the general temperature of where I live (Canada), since the screen blurs less on the warmer days.....it's extremely noticable in darker games.
Anyways, liking that Sony is continuing the Greatest Hits thing with the PSP, stopped paying for games full-price as the ones I did want are guaranteed to hit that status, saving me cash in the long-run, as I really don't like paying near-console prices for a handheld game, just out of principle, no matter how great the title may be.
Which games are you looking at? From what I've seen, *all* new PSP titles are more expensive than DS ones, you sure you weren't looking at ones the retailer may have marked down just to get rid of them or something?
Sleep mode, if you hold the power-button up for three seconds it shuts off the system completely instead, conserving battery life when you don't need to continue your last progress. DS on the other hand nailed the sleep-mode thing, just close the clam-shell without turning the DS off, and that's it.
I also find my PSP speakers are more tinny and lacking base than my DS Phat/Lite, albeit it doesn't really bother me since I have proper headphones for both systems.
Just really wishing DS's online system wasn't such pants, I mean, it's good for a quick play against a stranger, but if you want to do anything else, you have to bother with the friend-code system and coordinate a gather time to make full use of some games (Metroid Prime Hunters being a prime example, one gameplay mode against strangers, 6 with friends), and I wasn't pleased when I learned this same system was employed on the Wii a few months back.
Loving the latest WiFi games on the PSP, especially the ones with voice-chat, Syphon Filter is a blast to play, even with the general PSP controls making it clumsy to properly aim and shoot at your opponents.
(a problem with many online PSP titles anyhow, I had a freaking strafe contest against some random opponent in MGS:PortableOps just trying to kill each other with our guns)

System goes into standby when you turn it off, so the game starts where you left it when you turn it back on, no waiting for reload.
