I went into Best Buy yesterday and there was a stack of 60GB units, just sitting there. A guy was guarding them, but looked really bored. Nobody was buying them, zero interest on the floor. I asked if they had any Wiis in stock — nope. So much for the PS3 and the overhyped launch. I guess people are still happy with their PS2 console (I know we played ours over the weekend).

Maybe they’ll get it right in a couple of years, or maybe they will just end up eating a lot of expense to make it a usable system. Right now, I see zero attraction to get one and I really wanted one when I heard about it. Now I’m just like, meh, what’s the use.

On the other hand, the PSP is getting a video camera (USB), a GPS (USB), and some video/voice over IP software to make video VoIP calls from your PSP. No word on what network, how it will work, etc. but I can bet it isn’t Skype. It would be nice to see a homebrew version of Skype, but considering the position of Homebrew on the PSP, it’s not likely. Skype is too big-time to support something like that now.

No word on new games, but it is clear that Sony is positioning the PSP to be more than a gaming handheld. It’s a great platform, gorgeous screen (indoors anyway) and powerful processor, so it’s no wonder they want to take advantage of it. The rumor of a 4GB version of the PSP for storing music/videos is still just that — a rumor. But we’ll see if that becomes more than a rumor later this year.
