Lucky Japanese get all the cool features

My beefs with the PSP have been well documented. However, it seems like one major flaw is actually being fixed. Usually, Sony would just wait three years, ignore the horde of angry phone calls, and eventually be served with a massive class action lawsuit. This time, Sony decided to be proactive, take the bull by the horns, and fix the already busted portable. Due to a design flaw in the original model of the system, the fancy ass LCD screen is actually a millimeter too long. This means it crowded the button right out of functionality. Smooth, real smooth. A few weeks ago, Ken Kutaragi (Sony Computer Entertainment president) said in a statement that the major flaw that caused the button to simply not work on some systems, wasn't a flaw at all but merely a feature. He said, and I'm using quotes here because he actually said this, "I believe we made the most beautiful thing in the world. Nobody would criticize a renowned architect's blueprint that the position of a gate is wrong. It's the same as that."

Anyway, I guess the architect decided a gate shouldn't be in the bathroom, because all future versions of the PSP, included the one gamers with too much cash are picking up in the US next month, will make sure they come with working buttons. Or maybe they'll just put a thin piece of glass over the whole right side of the system so you can't use any buttons. Who knows?

For those of you who are craving even more G-Pinions content, don't forget to check out our Release section and Columns section every Tuesday. Feel free to comment on our stupidity in not choosing Resident Evil 4 as the Game of the Week or simply ignoring every, single EA release.
