BV, I knew you were a Nintendo fanboy but come on, are you living under a rock or something? :lol
Everyone (well besides you ) knows that the PSP does not have a touch screen. That's part of why the DS's touch screen is touted as such a unique feature.
The PSP screen has the following specs:
4.3 inch, 16:9 widescreen TFT LCD
480 x 272 pixel (16.77 million colors)
Max. 200 cd/m2 (with brightness control)
Now it's a very nice, bright, clear screen. I have seen it in person. It's very drool-worthy.
No, because then it would get fingerprints on it and not be as pretty.
In all seriousness I do plan on getting a PSP...as a gamer I have to at least take it for a test drive...if I don't like, I can give honest reasons...and if I do, kudos to Sony.
