Re: Thinking of getting a PSP, is it worth it?

Had one at launch, sold it 2 months later, haven't ever missed it. Hated the load times, hated the smudges on the system with finger prints, and didn't care for the battery life.

It's an impressive system, but just did nothing for me.

If you get the Homebrew or Custom firmware its well worth it.... You can play PSx games and more... Due to TOS I cant say much esle but I would advise doing a little research on it

Re: Thinking of getting a PSP, is it worth it?

Out of all the systems I own and I have them all seriously, it's my favorite. My biggest beefs with the PSP have been screen (stuck pixel) problems, "fixed" and the battery life. I always keep mine charged so it's never a problem. I bought a launch PSP and while I loved it, I took it back when I had 3 PSP's with pixel problems and Sony saying we can't help that all LCD's have this problem, yeah right whatever you say Sony.

I bought my PSP last year and the screen was perfect. The new rumored PSP will address the battery, screen and UMD issues.

I love my PSP. MLB The show in the car anyone?

Region free games are great. I have imported TOCA 3 Challenge, F1 2006, Colin McRae 2005 and they are all really fun.

It really is a great system, if you have a need for it. I am in the car and away from home a lot so I need a portable option. When I am at home I usuallly play my 360.

You drive and play your PSP at the same time?
