A status symbol for nerds with money to burn. I got rid of mine after I found out just how Sony planned to support it. (READ: Poorly) and how they treat anyone who tries to support it well (i.e Lik-Sang)
Sony fanboys delude themselves into thinking that anyone who hates the system is either "poor" or, "a kid" who must own a DS. Which hurts when you use your gaming choice as a measure of your own self-worth.
One common insult, is to attack a person's wealth (and thus, their worth)
The thing is, if you can afford to buy a PSP you can afford a DS (eventually games and accessories destroy any accusations of poverty. Poor people don't buy video games, it goes in with the whole "not having money thing". (surprise!)
The difference is, while the DS owners are busy playing more new games, the only thing PSP owners seem to have are emulated 15 year old games FROM NINTENDO and a Grand Theft Auto port, and you need to hack the thing to play the old games! (and updating firmware, which is required to play the newer games, negates you're ability to hack. And "bricking" the system, which fanboys seem to glaze over is quite common.
You'd think being such "big spenders" (and thus, better than you) they could afford portable DVD players and all the great features that PSP has only much much better. If PSP players are so wealthy, then why don't they buy an Alienware laptop?
It's like a guy with a cool car mocking a guy with scooter, while a guy with 5 luxury cars, a yacht and a helicopter in earshot just shakes his head.
PSP is a like a hummer. Looks cool but runs out of gas before you leave the driveway.
DS is like a sensible, comfortable car. Isn't as flashy but better in what's important.
DS section of store: lined with games not all great but the ratio of good to bad blows PSP away.
PSP section of store: slim section filled with 60-70% movies you already have on DVD with one or two good games swimming a small collection of poorly to average-rated ports.
Most PSP owners are more concerned with appearing cool (which they don't, neither do DS owners). They think ownership of such, makes them better some how, which is sad on so many levels. They wear their ownership of a fucking game console as a badge on honor. It's not.

PSP fanboy: You're just angry you can't afford a PSP.
ME: Actually I owned an imported white PSP and I used it as a 250 dollar MP3 player.
PSP fanboy 2: u phail n00b go play kidee gamez on ur DS PSP pwnz joo!!111!
Me: *marvels at irony of FB2 calling anything I do "kiddie" (Castlevania?) owns me, Really? Why?
Well spoken fanboy: Because you can hack the firmware and emulate SNES games on it for starters.
Me: No kidding? and you find paying $250 for a portable high-end system just to play 15-20 year old Nintendo/Sega games on the go, is worth it?
Fanboy 3: PSP is the best portable ever it owns.
Me: Sounds more like PSP "owns" you.

Get the PSP mug. A pretentious term used by people who honestly believe using numbers to write words is still as cool now, as it was when the running man was considered a great dance move. Used to half-assedly insult a person who annoys the user without the necessary thought that usually goes into such a response.
In other words you don't actually need to think of a response as long as you just throw "n00b" into a five crap lines that usually break the rules of a forum anyway.
More often than not the user is often far worse than those they use it on.

*boy that guy's lame...I'm totally gonna tell him off.
"N00b!!!!"
*yessss."
"That'll learn 'em to goof off on UltimateSpaceFragOmniMercsElite.com This place for serious discussions on "fragging zombies in space with half naked women..."
*....now where's my penis pump and a my sweet-assed pic of Samus Aran bending over to tie her space boot.....*

Get the n00bmug. Blu-Ray Player/Game System/Cash Sink
Cost of average Blu-Ray player:
$1,000.00
Cost of average game console:
$300-500.00
Cost of PS3 (combine Blue-ray cost to console cost and then read)
$600.00
Think about that. "It's cheap for what you get."
...and you get what you pay for.
My point is: You're not getting a Blu-Ray player for 600 bucks. You're getting it for considerably less after you factor in all the other parts. More like $300-400. and that leaves the game system coming in at 200-300 dollars.
How good do you think a 300-400 dollar blu-ray player is going to be? If not? How cheaply made is the gaming system?
If a regular blue-ray costs almost double the whole PS3 package, either the player is bare-bones and made of shoddy materials (common for Sony) or all the other Blu-ray players are vastly over-priced, over-hyped and aren't worth the money (very likely).
Either way, Sony is cutting HUGE corners somewhere in this thing.
PS2 had one of the worst DVD players on Earth. Why? Because it was an add on. A secondary feature. Only now the secondary feature over-shadows the main event!
PS3 is made to appeal to gamers looking for an image-enhancing system. The flashier and most expensive = the best.
PS3 is doing so badly and is such a nasty mess, that most game companies have already pulled out of exclusive deals and taken their games multi-platform because of the orgasm of bad ideas, practices and ridiculous greed of Sony.
Sony fanboys praise the system as being the most powerful despite the lack of good games.
Which would hold more value if these same fanboys didn't claim that "power wasn't everything" last generation, when the PS2 was weaker than XBox (and the same for XBox fanboys)but had better games.
Sorta proves they really don't have any particular qualifications for best system, other than "Sony/Microsoft made it"

The PS3 is like a nice car that comes with an airplane.
You want the car but, you have to buy the airplane and the airplane costs way more than the car. Then you need an airport to use it (Hi-Def TV)
The extra feature overshadows the primary concern.
Sony has marketed the PS3 as a computer system.
The problem is, Sony already makes computers! I could buy a Vaio cheaper and do more with it.

Get the PS3mug. Literal - To present something, whether an idea, project, product, etc. by way of a phone call, rather than in person.
Used to describe a lazy or uninspired attempt.

Get the pwnedmug. Very obscure slang/substitute for swearing in frustration or anger.
Origin:
HBO television series
Mr. Show with Bob and David (1998 season 4, episode 5: It's Perfectly Understandable)
Sketch: Pallies (A Goodfellas parody, edited for television)
David Cross turns to Jay Johnston and yells (with terrible over-dubbed editing):
"Well you's can both grab one of my *books*,
you mother*father* *Chinese dentist*"
before shooting Jay in the head.

According to the Season 4 DVD commentary, years after the show ended, cast member Paul F. Thompkins had overheard someone talking on a cel phone in a bar utter the phrase "Mother Father Chinese Dentist!"
When asked if she was a fan of the show, her reply was "What?"

Get the Mother Father Chinese Dentistmug. Emissaries of the worst gaming site this side of Gamespot and servitors to the infernal jag CJayC.
Think Ring Wraiths only meaner, nerdier, with less professionalism and (despite a Ring Wraith being dead and evil with no body) less chance of getting laid....and less fashion sense.
Known for extreme corruption. Using the term moderator is akin to a slap in the face of anyone whose actually cared about the site they moderate.
Traits include:
1. Selective moderating.
2. Back-assward logic.
3. Blatant bias.
4. Extreme corruption.
5. Laziness.
6. Cowardice.
7. Power mongering.
8. Overall dickish-ness. (Thank you Jon Stewart)

A Gamefaqs Moderator helled me for using the term "bichin" to describe Captain Planet's mullet under "censor bypass" rules.
I figured since it mearly contains the word blocked but presents none of the offensive nature (Bart Simpson used it) and has never been considered a curse word, I'd be fine. I've always minded the Censor system. This was bullshit.
Meanwhile a nearby thread spent several pages calling homosexuals "abominations". Though the thread "why do the moderators allow so much trolling?" was quickly deleted. The trolling continued btw....
Another user:
"I can't believe I was modded for telling this troll off but the troll went unpunished! God the mods are corrupt."
My thread under petitions/suggestions was deleted:
