Hopefully it will look that great though :)

I heard that Sony won't be allowed to sell the PSP to certain countries because it will be classified as a supercomputer. Wow! I also read that this thing will be able to generate real time, Toy Story quality graphics. Now that's power!

Playstation2 is considered a supercomputer and was still sold...

Its not that big of a deal honestly, its more hype from them then anything.

That was previous to September 11, 2001. Now PS2, XBox and other "dual use" technology can't be legally exported to certain countries without approval of the US government. There was a Law & Order episode about this topic a couple months ago actually because their writers thought it an interesting topic. Their writers had owners of a NY area toy store owner get his house searched secretly by the FBI because they were exporting PS2s to Albania in defiance of a US government order. Now, having said that, I'm sure most countries where there would be more than a few sales for PS2, XBox etc. are approved. While countries, like Albania, wouldn't have much of a market anyway. Plus, Sony's a multinational corporation based also in Japan. So, the Sony America branch won't be able to export PSP etc. to any country they want without government approval, the Japanese arm of Sony would, unless Japan's government has a similar anti-terrorism law.

You can be sure that the US would strongly reccomend to Japan that it adopt the same restrictions regarding computer technology imports as the US... Of course Japan hasn't always listend. I seem to recall a bit of a disagreement between the US and Mitsubishi after it was discovered that Mitsubishi was manufacturing submarine propellors for the USSR... Despite all this, I really can't see the PSP being classified as a "supercomputer" or containing enough technology to end up on the "do not export" list.

D-Pads just don't cut it for anything more than very arcadey racers on rails.

The PSP has an analogue controller. Zo

And where is this analogue controller? Not that I don't think a driving sim can't be controlled by the d-pad, 'cause I'm sure all buttons will be pressure sensetive, so it's *sort of* analogue.

Yes, actually, there are rather strict export laws regarding the sale of computer equipment to certain countries - especially those located in the mid-east and to China. One company I used to work for ran afoul of these when it tried to sell its product - based on a 150Mhz MIPS processor - into Mongolia. They were eventually allowed to fulfil the order, but it took dozens of forms and a few months of government beuracracy. The main problem was that the product was a Linux-based web server that was capable of using encryption methods that used more than 32bits. (SSL uses 64 or 128 bits.) This was back in '98. A bit later, the PS2 was announced, and also classified by the US Gov't as falling into the same category computer technology not allowed to be exported to "hostile" countries.

I never said China doesn't have PCs. I only said that certain equipment and software is still restricted from being exported in China and other countries.
