Default Why did they make different psp versions??

Why did they make different psp versions?? and also, why are the earlier versions not able to web browse, I thought all psp's were the same :?

couse sometimes they come up with something new and update with new features
if they released an only one version unable to being updated we would have missed a lot of stuff like web browsing, the ability of changing the theme of the psp, the (future) gps, and a lot of stuff they're working on

ok, yeh cheers, but still, they said psp's were going to have web browser before they even came out in the shops, so why sell low versoins that can't do this when they said they could, sorry if im not making myself clear enough

All PSPs can use the web browser. You just need to update the firmware to do it (V2.0 and above) and this can be done to any PSP regardless of it's age or supplied firmware. You seem to be under the impression you are stuck with the features that come on the PSP when you purchase it. This isn't the case providing you are willing to update it. There are, of course, advantages to not updating your PSP - it just depends on what you view as being important. Easy homebrew on 1.5 and below or additional features on 2.0 and above, the web browser being just one of them.

Personally, I view easy homebrew as being infinitely more important than the web browser which I would never use anyway. Even though limited homebrew is now available on all PSP's (see threads http://www.psp-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5453 & http://www.psp-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5401 for details), it still can't compare to the ease of use and 100% compatibility that homebrew on a 1.5 PSP provides which is why I have no intention of updating mine just for features I will rarely use.
