Aqua-Soft Forumswell its finally out here but do u think its worth it
Sony Psp Do U Think Its Worth It
if i said no.... then i would have wasted the entire day begging my parents for it...
its the most advanced hand held system out, and prolly will be for a while. you can play mp3s, and video files as long as you download them onto the memory stick. it will play moves in its own format...
it has a couople down sides, like battery life, but hey you can always have a spare battery if your on a long trip.
so i definelty say yes.
If your gonna use it shure. If not, no.
Yep, got mine last night at 12, amazing, gameboy what? ipod who?
Have you ever got to hold the thing? Feel it? Look at its screen? Dude that thing is sick. Makes DS look like something made from PlaySkool.
Here are some photos, the quality of them are utter crap, my batteries died in my camera so beware.

Played Twisted Metal online, so much fun, I can be OUTSIDE and play games, w00t.
lol, who voted no? this thing is sick, it is the best portable system I've never used.
hey i work for best buy and today we opened at 8 and i was watching the spiderman movie that came with it for 4 hours and a custy asked about battery life and i showed her the batt checker and it said that there was still like 4 hours left on the batt. so i dont think that the batt life is a big thing, the batt replacements are going to be the pain. the sony rep was telling us that they will cost $50 to $75. as for long trips best buy was selling a kit that had a power brick that would charge the batt twice before that brick had to be charged.
"sony never break" have fun with them thaty are alittle out of my price for now.

The PSP makes me drool... a lot... but I like the Nintendo games. If it were up to me I'd get both... but... can't... decide... 
oh it's definately worth it, BUT i will say this:
i won't buy it till this "value pack" is out. i could care less really and it's really jacking up the price.
knowing sony, they'll also release another version with longer battery life too, so i may just end up waiting.
the only thing really keeping me from buying it is the battery life. that said, i think nintendo is going to lose bigtime in the market. they've been acting like douche bags lately like with the gamecube (wtf is up with no online and the **** games??) and the DS, very gimmicky, and when i held it in store it was just so uncomfortable. anyway, yeah. despite disliking sony, they make good handheld stuff. my sony camera is great, and this will definately blow any other handheld out of the water.
No way.
It's HUGE.
Horrible battery life.
Copycat white loopie thing, headphones and shiny metal back.
+Look pretty good from Tim's screenshots [game/screen quality]
Oh don't give me that horrible battery life crap.
I watched Spiderman 2 this after noon, played in class for about 2hrs (ONLINE play) of twisted metal 2, then played a few more hours when I got home.
Battery life on this sucker is just great on what it does.
My only complaint. is The fact it shows finger prints more than the iPod
Its awesome, looks awesome, plays awesome, great for everything, and costs too much money for me to afford.
why don't you do freepsps... 
N.o. Period.
I'm sticking with my little DS
I've heard from many hardcore gamers that the PSP is much better than the DS, my friend got a DS and I have to say it is impressive, but the PSP seems to be better overall and it's loads of features are better than just a dual screen and a few useles extras. Then again, I haven't been a gamer for 3 years so I don't really know what makes a console anymore.
Sorry, but I heard from one of my forumites on another forum saying that the Sony P.S.P. is not a very good product of engineering. It is known to spit out cartridges, and one of the buttons is not very responsive, I have heard. If I could choose, I would rather have the Nintendo DS. It's game library may be smaller, but it's mostly original games. Also, the game developers have made very good use of what some of you may think of as "novel and useless" features such as the touch screen (get a copy of Wario Ware Touched or Pokémon Dash DS and see it for yourself).
Everyone who's bought a DS will probably hate me for this, but did anyone who bought one realise that the DS is Nintendo's attempt to break into the PDA market? Nintendo are still working on the next GameBoy...

Also, the PSP has had problems with the square button not working after a while... I'm going to wait to see where this all rounds off.
But in all honesty, I'd rather have a PSP, it's what most gamers actually want anyway, a handheld that can almost compete with todays home consoles, plays movies and music and does pretty much want you want it to when your walking around.
The DS on the other hand is irritating to hold and even worse with the touch screen games, honestly has anyone tried to play Polarium or Wario Ware Inc while walking around the house? and since when would you want to walk down the high street, or sit on an airplane and have to shout "Mario" to get the game to change character (or something equally bizarre).
not really worth it for me. i have a decent cell phone that has chess and logic games that keep me company all times, i can't afford psp, and if i have the money, i would buy a new graphics card instead. i just can't make use of it. so NO. but for gamers that use it all the time, it's ok to buy it.
For the money I will rather buy a mac mini or a nice generic computer to play emulated games. If being "portable" is the thing, well... only if you have the money, the time to play, and expect a new system next year that is better.
Aaargh, I want a PSP so bad but I have only £10 to my name and it doesn't come out in Europe for months. Oh, for the record, Sony said they'd sorted the button problem.
the the stores are still going to sell the unfixed psps though. right?
