What do you think about the new PSP?

[gourmettea]

I was going to wait til a price drop....but I saw a imported one in action....

OMG!....like a widescreen mini-hdtv in your hand.....pics really really doesn't do it justice....

now i might have to be out 250 next thursday...

 

[Albis]

you probably won't be able to grab a PSP next thursday at a big store or any video game store because of preorders

I got mine preordered over 5 or 6 weeks ago and EB Games can't tell me if I'll be in the first million shipment.

I might have to swing by walmart and target and try to grab one of EB Games doesn't have a copy for me.

Costco value pack.

well i was a target last night...and the lady said they don't preorder...but if i called at 8am they'll hold one til 10 pm ....looks like that's the way i'mma have to go.

Looks cool. Still not sure I want to shell out $250 or wait for a non-Value Pack edition. I don't need a case or some Spiderman movie I'll never watch. Who knows...next Thursday I might feel frisky and go buy one on a whim.

I saw some geeky kid sitting in the corner playing one outside the computer lab at school, for some visceral reason I wanted to kick his ass.

[StageLeft]

Yeah it's sweet!

 

[purbeast0]

no way in hell would i pay $250 for a PSP. i'm just not big on portable gaming in general and don't like any of them new things. i could never justify paying $250 for something that is portable and i can't use on my 50" DLP.

i'm a big gamer, just not a big portable gamer

however, i still think the thing looks cool as shlt!!

 

[slightlyhuman]

/clicks ouf of thread and puts ear muffs on


i would like to buy one for and play with it for a month or so(just like i did with my ds) but i'm going to wait until they appear on the FS/T forums and until everyone get their hands on one so I can hear more than a few opinions/reviews.

if i decide to get one i'll trade my mini ipod+ cash for one in the fs/t forums

The handheld interests me, but none of the launch games catch my interest. I suppose it's a good thing, because I really don't have the $250 to blow.

[Anonemous]

so who's gonna ebay their preorders?

 

[royaldank]

The DS is a total flop. Ditch them while you can.

I'm not saying this because of the PSP, but rather because of the PSP and the GBA. The DS doesn't offer anything new except a gimick screen used for maps and stupid games requiring you to blow on the machine. Oh yeah, graphics are slightly better than the GBA and games cost more. Flop!

yah and a whopping 7 games.... wow why did I ever spend my cash on that =/

 

[Koing]

Yeah the PSP looks amazing in real life and all the videos and pictures you see DO NOT DO IT ANY JUSTIC. The screen is amazingi.

I've had mine for about 9 weeks now. You DO NEED THE CASE if you intend on taking it anywhere. You need to put it in a case to protect the screen.

Looking forward to the usa release so I can get some new games . I got WipeOut Pure on order and I'll pick up Lumines and Mercury a bit later. GT4m is the killer app imo.

If I didn't commute I wouldn't get one also. No point as I don't game at home as it is. PSP definately makes my commute less boring and some WiFi gaming at the interval between lectures is pretty cool with your mates. Not enough time to go anywhere but you can get a few races in.

I'm so torn... I will get my tax return soon and I have a few things in my mind in no particular order.

1. Tax return
2. HIDs for my car (one of my headlights burnt out, so what better excuse to spend $300!)
3. PSP
4. iPod Photo + iTrip for my girl's b-day
5. ...
6. No Profit.

I'll get the iPod for sure, but can't decide between the HIDs or PSP.

Decisions.
