Sounds great I hope good things come of it. Maybe this will draw more developers and result in some great exclusives.

It would appear Sony are learning from mistakes as they go and are actually addressing problems arising from feedback.
Everyone who wrote of this console before it was year into it's life may be shown to be a little hasty.

That's really good news. And this helps many people and will increase PSP popularity for sure. Besides that Unreal also released toolkit for free so i guess there will be more such news going to come up soon.
