What’s Better Than Half a Million PSP Consoles?
Two million, of course! SCE ups production.
Ridge Racers
Sony is awash with glory following strong demand in Japan for its PSP handheld gaming console, with the firm upping production for the second time within weeks.
From an original production run of around 500,000 per month, Sony chief Ken Kutaragi stated that new production methods would see between one and two million units produced.
Kutaragi-san went on to say that the firm has the capacity to raise this quota by around 30% to meet demands for key sales seasons, such as the global consumer festival known as Christmas, when the baby Jesus was born and that.
In related news, more rumours have surfaced in recent days talking of a €199 price point in the EU for the PSP, with a reflected dollar price for the North American market. At the moment, SCE remains quiet on the subject of price, availability and launch date in both territories.

Is the pop up banner on spong a joke or something? I'm not surprised such a poor news source has such an intrusive crappy banner that covers half the screen.

You've somehow arrived at the wrong thread. Try here
Anyway, the other thing that's better than half a million PSP's being manufactured, is me owning just one.

For all their talk of upping production im still to see an import PSP going for less £260.
There is still a severe lack of units no matter what press b******s they talk.

And the thing that's better than that is if 199 Euros is an official price, that's currently about £137.77!! Looks like a $140 price point to me!

God I can't type today, as a programmer, that's dangerous.
I meant to type a £140 price point, since 199 Euros is £137.77 and you always round up when doing conversions! :-)

Heh. Yesterday I spent about half an hour trying to find a missing squiggle bracket in a Perl script. But then I am a cack programmer :/

Ah yes! The elusive bracket syndrome!
My suggestion would be to use an editor that allows you to bracket match, I'd advise UltraEdit, it's top.

No way, UltraEdit is my text file editor! Christ, I'm a dolt. I knew it was good, but to idiot-proof rubbish programming? I really must explore app functionality more thoroughly.

Just hit Ctrl-B and the next bracket after the cursor is matched with it's twin. You'll see the enclosed block highlighted. If it isn't highlighted, it doesn't match another bracket and you're narrowed down your search for the elusive missing bracket. This works with (), {} and [] brackets (we call them round, curly and square, YMMV)

Yeah, it must be real difficulft for you "special" readers to hit that close widget.
Much as I loathe and despise you for referring to our site as a "poor news source", when even a half-empty flask of dolphin semen could see that it rocks, I am intrigued by your association with Turner. What's the deal?
