    One of the lads in work picked it up in Taiwan recently. All the games are region free, so he's been importing US games recently. It is really savage, hard to call between it and the PS2. Up until recently I had been thinking about getting one, but I've bought a car, so no more bus or train commutes, and I'd only be playing it at home, which kind of defeats the purpose to be honest.

    got a go off one today in the sony centre , very very impressive i didnt think it would be that good i was expecting the video playback to look a bit like a plasma screen but its crystal clear , i watched a music video , had a quick blast off wipeout and medi evil . its a ps2 in your hand but because the screen is so small the graffics are even better than on your tv at home .

    but the memory card seem a bit small a 1 gb is about 150 euro it says it will hold a movie but surely you would want something with about 20 films stored on it .

    Excuse my ignorance here but what format are the games in, I assume it's disc? If it is disc will playstation 2 games work on it or do you have to buy games specifically for the psp?

    It's a new format I believe. The games look something like minidisks as far as I know.

    If that's the case I don't think I'll bother getting it. The PS3 is coming out around Christmas isn't it so between that and the xbox I'll have enough different consoles to be buying games for.

    PS3 isn't due until "early next year", there's no official date from Sony yet, or even when Europe will see it, the PSP has been out for over a year in Japan, yet we're only getting it now.

    The next XBox - XBox 360 - is due out at the end of november.

    So how do you watch movies? DVD drive? Download?

    Why did you bother getting a car tetsujin? Cant you just get a lift to work with Graham?

    The movies are on the same format, it's called UMD (Universal Media Disc, I think) and looks like a MiniDisc. The movies are region locked (i.e. a disc bought in America won't work on a European PSP and vice-versa) but the games are region free - a PSP game bought anywhere will work on a PSP bought anywhere.

    Bought a car months ago, just brought it up to Dublin recently

    you can buy them out of hong kong for €140 euro. they are compatible with games bought here. Good value i think.

    whats the PSP like though ? good games ?

    It has wifi but I know wifi is pure hard on the battery with my laptop. is it the same with the PSP ?

    had a bash of ridge racer, which while looking good is still as sh!t as it ever was, everybodys golf which was a blast i have to say and wipeout was pretty impressive..

    grand theft auto will make or break the system i reckon.
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    Nope, just UMD's - the native format
    None of the portable gaming systems play DVDs

    does any one have it , i need to get a new mp3 player and was wondering what kinda memory they have , i know you can get memory card s but in town i could only find a 1 gb one .

    so does that mean all i can carry with me is 1 gb of songs movies etc or does it store them differently . because 1 gb is nothing
