There's also apparently some ghosting on some games, and a few have shipped with dead pixels. Aside from that, it's apparently all good.

They don't respond properly because of the size of the unit... the designers were forced to put the sensor slightly to the side of the button. There was some news article floating around about it several weeks ago. Anyone confirm this?

Just a real shame about the media format (I guess they had no option since you couldn't bolt a DVD reader onto the back of it)... I can't see people buying UMD versions of films to watch and nor can I see film companies bundling UMDs with their DVD released. So that's films out of the window. Aside from that, the gaming should be great... N-Gage couldn't build up the grassroots support (at least, it never felt like they managed it) but Sony could well pull it off. The price
