That's the biggest problem and one it seems Sony didn't get when the PSP dove head first into the pavement.

I can empathize. Which is why when my PSP isn't being used as a one-pound paper weight, it's playing mostly retro collections. Sega Genesis Collection, Midway Arcade Treasures, Capcom Classics Collection. Along with Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins -- still one of my favourite games, on any console -- and Street Fighter Alpha 3: MAX.

Then again, I did have a good time with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and my downloaded copy of the original Metal Gear Solid kept me busy for about ten hours with nostalgia-fuelled goodness.
