Actually, in a perfect world, it would have had a clamshell design to protect the screen while not in use.

Forgot Marvel vs. Capcom 2, I've seen it for 100+ on ebay. I saw a used copy in gamestop a couple of months back for 79.99. I'm so glad they're releasing MvC2 on the XBL Arcade, it'll be so much cheaper.

Different looking design from what I figured it would look like and I had heard awhile back about the UMD drive being removed so I figured it wouldn't be backward compatible, but this is really different. I guess I'll just stick with my PSP for now. I have the one that came out before the 3000. I used to have the first original PSP but I gave it to my niece and somehow she broke the screen. She couldn't remember how it happened, but it is possible one of her friends or her auntie broke it.

Yeah, that would be a good ide--

The least they could've done was make it a folder like the GBA SP.

Oh, dammit! If only that hadn't been exactly what I had just said, you'd've had a very nice point. What a shame.

Clam Shell design = DS.
So why copy Nintendo?

This way, with the screen exposed, they can sell protective cases. ^_^.;;

Clamshells have been around far longer than Nintendo has been making them. It's been around as an electronic form factor longer than I've been alive.
