I just picked up a silver PSP slim....and I bought daxter, all the crash bandicoot PSOne titles, and socom FTB 2, along with Twisted Metal 2...and I crammed the rest of the space with a bunch of my favorite songs.

Needless to say...I really am liking this handheld, and I am loving the inter-connectivity with the PS3. The remote play I don't really like because of the lag that's involved, but the whole remote music control thing that was added in 2.20 was neat.

Anyways....I'm looking forward to the point when I can just use my PSP as a remote for the PS3 in general...to control movies, music, photos...all that.

I'm also thinking that there should be little to no lag if you connect directly through your home network....why there is still lag even then is a mystery to me.

What sways me to any system is the games. Certainly Crisis Core is something I just can't leave alone as a massive fan of Final Fantasy 7, but the more i've looked into things the more games i've seen that i've liked to play. The price point for most of them online makes this somewhat of a no brainer too.

Likewise the amount of options for keeping myself occupied on long journeys with the movies and just plain filling the memory card up has me very intrigued indeed.

My only bugbear is that here in England we only have the choice of Black or White within colours (would love a silver one) - and that a lot of the bundles in the US just aren't over here.

Would you recommend getting a 4gb or 8gb memory stick? I've heard there could be slowdown with an 8gb?

Any essential accessories you would recommend?

Hey i like the explosion picture. Anyone have the wallpaper size?

for the red GOW PSP bundle coming in June to the US!!

I have been a PSP Phat owner since launch and have yet to regret it!

I wasn't going to get a screen protector, just a good protective case - but will look into getting one now - ta muchly ^_^

Thanks for your advice as well, it means a lot and i'll be making a far more informed purchase in the next few weeks!

What would you guys say were your favourite games on the system btw?

FF tactics, I buy that one a few weeks ago, but got busy with patapon and GoW, I forgot about tactics, it's a great title for a portable.

It's a lovely machine;-P

I'm playing MGS: Portable Ops right now, and it's a great game. The graphics are just about on par with MGS3. Almost.

GOW: CoO and Patapon are two must-have titles for PSP. I treat my PSP just like I would any other console, even though it's just a handheld.

Best handheld ever.

psp was my very first handheld ever, and its twice as good when u have a ps3... stick in FF7 in my ps3, and i can remote play it from anywhere...its a nice handheld and do agree, 199.99 is a bit expensive and should drop to 150 at least...but it really not gonna bother me anyways, i already got mine

I really do hope the PSP takes off. I won mine, so I can't complain about the price. Mostly I use mine for internet radio because there aren't many games that I like. When I do play games it is usually compilations of old-school arcade games.

I didn't think you could be much gayer, but you proved me wrong.

it all exploded for me when mgs portable ops came out, really after that my psp hasnt had any gaps in "no play!"

dont get me wrong my psp is always used for movies n tv shows etc. but drops game usage now and then but not since mgs, > disgaea > God of war and then next Crisis core.

gonna be crazy

wheres my devil may cry psp

Why will people spend 2-300 bucks on an ipod and not on a PSP?

Its all about what use u will get out of something. A lot of guys i know have no idea about the potentiality or the usefulness and power of a psp, till I show them mine.

Sony needs to step up the ads a bit for newbs.

Which one should I get the Darth Vader one/ or black one, or should I wait for a new psp model altogether thats coming soon from SOny?

I've been on the fence for a long time about the psp, but I just hate that it doesnt have 2 analog sticks, not even the new slim one. How is it playing with just one? Plus, are the loading times still insane?

I enjoy my psp even more!

Hah see, after a Sony system gets a Metal Gear Solid and a new Final Fantasy they seem to take off. I'm glad the PSP is seeing this new renaissance. It's like after Sony unlocked the processor for the devs to use the full 333mhz it's become a new machine for some. So far GoW is the only game to take advantage of it IIRC, can't wait to see what they come out with now. Crisis Core is already an outstanding game built for the prior processor limit, I wonder what it would have been like with the full 333.

PSP with cfw=bliss

Just wondering what you guys think of the way the article was written? I have very poor grammar and I am trying to get better.

For me its one of my best written stories ever, but I still dont think I am that great of writer.

Agree if you think it was well written.
Disagree if you think it was written poorly.

Is it just me, or does a PS3/PSP bundle seem like a really good idea?

is tne best handheld ever created.

I LOVE MY PSP

Uhhh, actually, the DS is great because it offers a unique gameplay experience, because of the touch screen--something the PSPee will never have. People don't want to play console games on a little screen with poor controls.

I need a psp as it is getting more and more attractive. Can someone spare me some "change"?
