    Re: I'm getting the itch....

    I actually won a PSP at my office Christmas party, but I returned it to Target for store credit (Should have sold it on Ebay, though). The PSP is slick, but I knew I wouldn't use it, much. I ended up getting COD 2, an upconverting DVD player, a play and charge kit, and some other stuff with the credit.

          Actually I've been thinking about maybe picking one up soon. It would be nice if the price dropped soon. My portable dvd player is starting to crap out, would a psp be a good replacement, as far as movies go? I'm not that familar with the psp, is it even possible to backup a dvd onto a memory stick? I'm not sure I like the idea of buying special umd's just for the psp.

              I bought mine 2 weeks ago and I LOVE it! I got rid of my PS2 3 years ago, so to be able to play PS exclusive franchises I haven't played in a while is great. I didn't have an MP3 player so this is cool, and best of all...I get to watch the first 2 seasons of Family Guy at work! Woot!

              I can see how some folks wouldn't play it much, but for me this thing is great. Hello MLB' 06 The Show!

                Yeah I agree the PSP is an amazing peice of hardware, I can watch all my DVDs on it as well as stream TV over WIFI, heck this thing does more then those ipods and then some. Hello Metal Gear and yes I cant wait for some more hardcore RPGs.

                    Great gaming device, just not any original games on there besides Lumines and ULBP that I really enjoyed.

                      yeah, you will need a 1gig card though. You can put 1 movie on the mem card. I do that when I want to watch a movie on it. no way am I buying a UMD movie.

                        Re: I'm getting the itch....

                        The problem with the PSP is that there are many ports on the system than original games. Now that I heard that GTA:LCS is being ported to the PS2, it really makes this system almost worthless for someone that doesn't play a handheld that often.

                        I placed everything on ebay, so I should make a cool $350 I'm hoping.

                          With time, I hope that the load times are better on the PSP also. I want to see this system be a success. Again, I have no time for handhelds, which kind of stinks.

                            Yes, you can.

                            Sony is coming out with 8GB memory sticks soon, so if you really want to put more than a couple of DVDs on your PSP, you could wait to cop that. Dunno how much it'll cost though. I'm thinking under or around $300. Maybe. It's kinda hard to sell memory sticks when you can buy Ipod's for the same price but alot more memory. I'm interested in seeing how these memory stick prices will change once they release 4-8GB ones.

                              You make a very good point. For that price, you could go and buy an IPOD with a larger HDD and store movies on it.

                              Does anyone know if you can convert movies to fit on the video IPOD?

                                I always believed handhelds were meant to be played when you were away from your console (I.E not at home). GTA on PS2 can't make the PSP version worthless since you can't play the PS2 version while you're in the waiting room.
