The psp control design is horrible....

I was playing gta liberty city stories and I just gave up trying to win a race to save maria (bike race through the city). The control scheme is so horrible that I can't control that bike at all, kept of falling off the bike and losing the race.

The more I play the psp the more I see alot of the errors that it has.... here are a couple that I see.

1. Size
2. Controls (probably the worst I've seen beside the orginal xbox)
3. Not durable like the ds lite.
4. multimedia functions (a 90 minute movie will take up close to 1 gig in space)
5. Expensive storage units.

I actually like some of the games but the other faults listed above make it bad and not really worth keeping.

1. size, explain more
2. controls, once again, explain what you don't like
3. not durbale like the ds lite, that's because one is a gaming system, the others a 120 dollar toy.
4. Depends how you convert, I have 90 minute movies less than 200mb's at fantastic quality
5. The price is dropping...insanely, you can get 2gb sticks for 40 dollars every once in a while now

Are you kidding me?

1. Size - You'd rather stare at a small screen for hours playing a game or watching a movie?
2. Controls - The controls are almost identical to ps2. You just have to get used to it in GTA where you have to use the second fuction. (I.e. L1 and keys)
3. Not durable - What?
4. Multimedia function - 90 minute movie only takes up about 400 mb. Is there a movie file that doesn't?
5. Expensive storage units - $30 for 1gig stick?

I don't mean to be a jerk, but I think you're just very angry (perhaps "sore") from loosing. I have beaten this game (excluding the 4,000,000 mini games or whatever you call them. i.e. "Vigilanti," "Taxi..."... just the story mode) and often times did get EXTREMELY pissed off at the controls and other aspects of the game that I feel were responsible for doing so poorly (Burnout Legends too)... just keep at it...

1. It's too big to be actually considered a portable system, I think others will agree.
2. It's a pretty high tech device but the design of it is flawed, really flawed.....

Well, it [i1db69e01cd]is[/i1db69e01cd] big, but you have so many more features (like the bigger screen) which makes it easily better than the Ds lite. And it's not even that much bigger than that.

The controls are really good, the best in a portable device I've seen. If the analog nub is hard for you to play with, use the paper hack.

Explain the paper hack to me, link it.

oh, it's not so much a hack as a mod, but anyway, it raises the nub to make it feel more like an analog stick, ya dig?
