It can be playing "Doko Demo Issyo" etc.. January 23, 1999 for ¥3000. Shipment finished at July 19, 2002. It was shipped 4.9 million units in Japan. 4.9 million is a failure? At least we can put this disgusting argument to bed what with this failure talk being complete bs. http://maru-chang.com/hard/scph/index.php/english/

Honestly though, I also wouldn't want to give the satisfaction of an answer to someone who was so brash as Techni. Lady Ashley, I remember looking this up when you first asked, but I never figured it out. In the Japanese version, the option is at the Monster Corral and is one of the options that you can select in the Menu Ring. Unfortunately, I don't have a save of the game anymore so I couldn't check. I did look in my manual and saw that they list the options for the Monster Corral, and don't talk about the Pocketstation one. That might mean that they took it out (but that would be surprising because Square didn't take out Pocketstation functions from the American FF8 and Saga Frontier 2). All I can suggest is that you go to the Monster Corral with the Pocketstation plugged in, and hope the option shows up.

I've done some research and found no mention of the flaws this page mentions. And even finding what someone said above about Pocketstation selling so well in japan they couldn't keep up with demand. In short, you guys (ModernMan and Wok7) are obviously the stalkers. And your responses seem more like someone prone to threats. Could this go back to being a Pocketstation discussion? Why are people like Wok7 and ModernMan not being banned? Surely their BS is far more distruptive and disgusting.

Some people think she's a Sony plant, others think she's simply deranged. She'll go so far as to contact people and make threats. You were wise to ban her, as many have done before, before it got out of hand.

All three seem to be good systems so far. DS is much better as far as load time and battery life, but the PSP is a decent system itself! And lots of good games are getting ready to be released on both systems. I think DS will end up bettering the PSP but really not by much. The fact that you can play movies, and download stuff to PSP scores points though; especially if you are traveling and you buy a speaker system for it ^^. I find it amazing that game systems are as durable as they are in all honesty. It makes me look at laptops and think about how their battery life is only like 2 hours, and if you keep them plugged in and on for over that time period you risk burning up your system -_-;. Wish I would have known that sooner before I burnt mine up =(. We own pocketstation, DS, and PSP. All three seem to be good systems so far.

And I can back them up myself as I too own a Pocketstation. And calling PSP a POS makes you a lying troll. Though you won't hear me say PSP owns DS as that also would be trolling.

Not only did it inspire some of the greatest games of the last generation (Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Samba Di Amigo etc) but a tiny minority of publishers carried on releasing games for it up until April of this year (2007) and a few years back the DC garnered enough attention for Sega to manufacture some more in small quantities. Nowadays there is still a hardcore following for the DC (mainly due to its shmup credentials) but with a lifespan of 9 years based on published software it actually managed to outlast both the GameCube and the Original Xbox.
