The PSP has good games, I don't see why people think it doesn't. However, paying $200 for a handheld is a little steep, especially when you compare to a $130 handheld. People just don't see the sense in paying extra in the extra features that the PSP provides, Internet, RSS audio/video feeds, Location Free player, Music player, Movie player, Image Viewer, Demo games that you can keep (instead of downloading them temporarily like on the DS), and maybe one day GPS functionality, camera functionality, and even the rumored Skype capabilities. If people don't see the potential that they can get out of the PSP, paying for the extras is worthless to them. Most people are looking for a handheld gaming console, if they wanted multimedia + other functionality, they would be buying something like iPOD video, GPS systems, digital cameras, PDA for movie player/image viewer/internet.Wow after that rant, the PSP sounds like a pretty damn good deal. I didn't even mention the homebrew stuff.

1st off, asking a question like that in a psp forum is kinda....... umm... Im not sure whether "redundant" would be the rigth word but.Yeah I think it is:Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Megadrive, Sega Genesis, etc emulation pwnsjust the emulation makes it a winner, and since it has a browser, music, video, & picture player it wins over everything else.
you can play all those games on the psp, and the psp ver. of bleach is WAY better than the DSs, and one more thing, why the F would you want to pay $50 for a browser, it should come standard with the DS, nintendo taking SONY tactics must mean they're doing something wrong.psp isn't the best because the games aren't that hot. i would recomend the DS because the games are awesome like, starfox, mario, advance wars, metroid,castelvania, bleach. also the PSP lags alot and the loading times are extremly long. some people think that DS doesn't have a web browser but it does. you have to buy it. the browser costs around 50 dollars.

Not really, the prices of PSP games vs DS games are actually quite comparable. Unless that is, you're shopping in the wrong place.i think PSP is the best handheld system only thing bad is that the games are like 50$ :'(

I don't think so. Nintendo DS has my vote although PSP has really cool features. Nintendo DS is something completely unique, something which I had never imagined. I would give PSP an overall rating of 7.5 whereas I would give DS a 10. And apparently in the "GAME" website, they voted DS to be the best handheld. But really, I can't argue about it. It's all up to what you're looking for in any console or handheld

if by system you mean a device that isn't designed to play games, than sure, you could be right. otherwise, being honest here, the PSP totally sucks with games except for puzzlers and simple stuff.

A few months ago I would have agreed with you, but the GBA/SP is dead now. Nintendo was whoring it with the Micro. It got crappy sales and people just preferred the SP anyway. Nintendo failed with the Micro. Shame on them for trying to whore out stuff! What happened to originality?! I'm just kiddin', Nintendo is all about originality.Back on topic: No the PSP is not the best handheld.GBA gets my vote.

There is no way PSP is the best. DS is far superior than anything PSP can dish out. So what if PSP has better graphics? Big deal. Doesn't make the games any fun. DS was made purely for gameplay, and they blew Sony out of the water.

Like how I can play homebrew and downloaded/copied gamez w/o buying anyhting, H8 how ISOs are so big and its hard to have them, even w/ a huge MS,I hate the stupid firmware switch thing, FW should add featrues no take away, Sony shouldn't force peps to upgrade, and even if they did, they should be able to go to an older FW at a anytime, and they shouldn't try to break the PSPs of peps who try to downgrade and put CFW on, what's Sony have a against homebrew anyways??
Try untold Legends..I think its cool; only thing it needs is better RPGs.

Bad point. SRW MX is most crap and easy SRW on all history, fades on the shame why Sony made a Deal to port ( again ) this game to PSP since there are many good SRW , like the Alpha series. I almost bought ( thanks I didn't ) a PSP just for the SRW, when i saw the game and played a litle I got really dissapointed, is really the "for kids " version of all SRW other than cool 3D maps, doesn't offers much than stupid and obsolete features. SRW got screwed on PSP thanks to this. GBA and now the SRW W and NDS are way better, sure yous till can play the REAL ones son PS2, but on the way GBA and NDS much better choice. Overall PSP is much better "technology device", but as a handheld system to play NEW games, not porting and emulating old ones..is failure. Browser? Unplug your mouse or pen & keyboard right now and browse internet, .. yes it how I feels on PSP, is more easy to make a 60+ or infinity combo on KoF than to write an address... PSP was amazing as a cool device, specially for kids that want to show up ( anyone watched happy feet and the stupid "look my PSP shot , yes is all what the PSP is about. NDS players play to themselves, and enjoy the new games. No show at all, is all about winning about the wheel of time. Battery, loading times etc. I you don't own a PS2, ( like my friend, he got a PSP but no PS2 ) is a good reaosn to abrange all, either way, to play new stuff, on big quantities, and endless choice NDS is much better. Emulation? A handheld should fullfill its main purpose first. Browse image? WTF, is a handheld, like thsoe people shooting picture with their Cellphone, like you can use them actually. IS an overload of features that are 80 % useless. It does have stetic, but compared to the NDS lite, loose on many points except " looks how much big it is". Sony should remodel PSP, and icnrease the "gripp" factor, weight, Right analog less, and bring more than "interview the idol" type of games to increase sale charts. They got really down with UMD( more than DEAD format ), and looks shady to BD also on PS3I agree... PSP is the best handheld system... There's Super Robot Wars MX, SD Gundam G Generation Portable, Dynasty Warriors, Initial D, etc... I like those games...

Amen dude AMENI've seen a couple of topics about this already, so I'm gonna pin this one. Post all your thoughts about your new-bought PSP. Don't start more topics about this. And please make sense, I don't want to have to warn people in this topic.Topic title editedI picked up my PSP today in the afternoon, came to about $350 as I bought the pack, a game, and an accessory kit. I set it up, and turned it on. Surprisingly, there were no defects as far as I could tell, and I did as much as I could to it in about an hour, without breaking it. Battery charges in about an hour from empty, and when playing a game at high screen intensity, it doesn't miss a beat.It comes with an intuitive OS, with 5 menus: Game, Video, Music, Photo, and Settings. If you load an UMD or media into it, an option will appear under each menu, and you can exit to the menu at any time, anywhere. You can also use its wireless to perform system updates, and it serves as a removable drive if you plug it in to a laptop, with a memory stick inserted.My only issue is that the 32 meg memory stick it came with is useful only for save games, and not for loading real music or media. I'll be picking up a 1 gig one later.Two more things:1. The instruction manual is *thick*. I was quite surprised, considering most of everything was intuitive, and the quick-reference card it came with sufficed.2. The earphones completely and utterly rip off iPod styling. No, seriously.
