Also, let’s be honest here and talk about what was inevitable for the original PSP and what will likely happen within a week of PSV’s launch: cracked firmware. Sony should of course officially say they’re doing all they can to prevent it, but let’s be honest: who hasn’t dreamed of playing Halo on a handheld? In my opinion, the myriad of firmware hacks have only helped Sony by encouraging people to buy their hardware by allowing people to play both Nintendo and Sony games on one device. People choose the device that can do more. Open source, even unofficially, would be a huge boost to sales.

On the software distribution methods: Go with flash storage, no downloads from PSN required. Not only will flash storage let users save games where the game is, leaving room for downloads, but it might even support modding games like the PS3!
