PSP

[Nixon]

I'm considering buying one, I was wondering if anyone here has bought one, and what they think of it?

My mate bought one in America back in May or so when England were playing, he loves it and I've seen it play. It looks very nice running and the wireless network playing sounds good. I wouldnt spend that much money on it though, personally.

I'm not really sure if I want one, I'm tempted to buy an iPod since atm I just make do with my USB stick for music, but its had a few knocks cause of the size and the screen is a bit miffed,

Toying between an iPod and PSP atm. PSP has the added advantages of games/movies - although watching a movie on a tiny screen might piss me off.

Need some gentle persuasion

psp is fucking awsome, and i mean really fucking awsome

got one last night, taking it back in 28 days (love you tesco) then buying another

having no money owns

but the graphics are the same as a ps2, not had chance to watch films or play games though

the only thing you gotta ask yourself is: when they fuck am i actually gonna use it? you travel quite a bit so you prob would. but its a hell of a lot of money for something you be bored of in a month

where my ipod i use for 4 hours a day everyday and have done for 2 years and i love it as well~

WTF, bloody pikey!

i got one (actually paid for it and keeping it!) and its fucking awesome. It will be even more aweseomerererer when somone hacks the 2.0 firmware so we get a webbrowser and snes emulators etc.


GET ONE NOW.

edit: i didn't actually make this post using my psp but i could have done, that's how frickin good they are.

OK, so if you don't go out much, is there any point in one of these ?

[Lady Redname]

depends how much u like playing with yourself

but your prob just better off buying a ps2

[Villa]

I like playing with myself.
Yes, I will probably buy a ps2 before Christmas.

Was thinking maybe buy one of these to keep the 3rd kid occupied, while the other 2 are playing with the ps2.
I wonder if it's childproof ?

[Lady Redname]

dunno screen could be scratchable
if ur gonna wait till xmas anyway then xbox360 all the way~

also on the psp you can ninja browse forums while your wife thinks ur helping kids

[Nixon]

Yeah wait a bit on the ps2.

ps3 isn't that far off, so I'd expect to see the prices drop~

I bought a gameboy advance sp once. It looked very pretty, apparently they even have a lot of nice games. I remember I used it for maybe an hour to play super mario world when the electricity went down in my apartment. It was fun but ive never used it since. I just don't think handhelds are a good investment.

On the other hand I just got my brand new 20gb colour screen Ipod through the post today from Amazon. Apart from the initial setback of all the menus being in chinese, I'm in love with it already, and have spent most of the day walking around with it in my pocket playing music. The fact you can look at photos on it as well is awesome, it's nice knowing I'll always have my favourite photos with me to show friends and reminisce.

I dont know how much a PSP costs, but id imagine it's a similar price to the new generation Ipod, and given a choice between the two id take the ipod anyday. + games are for losers.

lool slamer

I might buy one, not sure if it's a good use of my resources though since the only game I have played regularly in the last couple of years has been UO. got a bit of wedge sitting around though so could go for it.

is anyone getting an xbox 360? I was talking to my mate andy who is a programmer for EA (did SSX, hockey games, tiger woods etc) and he says the xbox 360 is amazing, you can render images so close to reality..

[Calix]

How much are they?

[parmo]

£180 ish quid in UK
cheaper if bought in the states ( i hear theres some water damaged stock in new orleans that some looters are selling cheap on ebay )
