The PSP is a great gaming machine, period. If there aren't a lot of great games out for it, then it is the developers' faults, not the system's. And the BD drive, while not needed for all of today's gaming content, will be a must-have for games in the years to come. You say "There is nothing on the X360 that is irrelevant to gaming.". That's crap too. Microsoft is obviously going for a media center type experience with the Xbox 360, and their development of an HD DVD addon for the machine just proves it. Baloney!

Sony is tout'n the inclusion of the BR player and the myraid of features that have no relation to gaming in an effort to outstage the competition; this thing is a trojan horse 4 BR adoption. Some people may not mind having a dishwasher thats also a microwave, but iWould guess the majority will want only the dishwasher & have no interest or desire to pay for frivilous features. 2 HDMI outputs? MS on the other hand is primarily about gaming. There is nothing on the X360 that is irrelevant to gaming. The media center functionality requires the presence of a host computer to really take full advantage of such functions and a lot ppl seem to 4get that. The following statement: "to create a living entertainment experience powered by human energy", is meant to emphasize culture of Xbox live (or something like that). The ppl on Live are the source of human energy that creates this living experience. Check this out: Sony loaded down the PSP w/ great features but nothing has been done particularly well. The PSP is great but the gaming experience isn't all that. Sony loaded down the PS2 will firewire and who knows what else, most of it went to waste. I'm thinking the same thing is going to happen to PS3.
