Either way, the units going to be really expensive or the games will need to be. Storage and storage retrieval have gotten a lot cheaper but not cheap enough to give PS2 caliber games at Super Nintendo (GBA) prices.

As was revealed in May, the new miniature disc format, Universal Media Disc (UMD) will hold about 1.8 gigabytes of data -- about three times the capacity of the average CD-ROM. According to today's info, it seems the discs will be region-encoded, which means PSP will be the first portable game system to restrict the playing of games from other regions of the world. Unfortunate, but probably inevitable.
