I'm coming here to ask this, because none of my poor, broke ass friends have a PSP, and I've never really been able to get a good look at one.
As big of a fan of all things Predator I am, the new AVP game was released exclusively on the PSP... and now I want one, I think. But I'd really like to know from the members here if they're worth it. Are the graphics for games good (keep in mind the only system I own is a PS2)? How long do they last (I've heard about screens cracking, pixels dying)?
I'm really leaning to getting a used one since I really only want it for one game, but I'm an extremely cheap ass person when I buy for myself, plus I lost the charger for my Japanese Ipod Nano knock off, so it'd be nice to have something to playback music on with I go out for walks.
So, to those who have one, is it really worth buying? Thanks in advance for your help!

My bad, I've never needed it, so I never looked for it.
If a mod could move it, that'd be cool.

And to answer you're question, I loved my PSP for a couple of months, and then sold it on eBay. It's fun for a while, but I just got bored of all the games. I guess if you're using it for music and games it could last longer, but It's just not worth the price tag imo.

i love my PSP, ive had it for about 2 years. To me its not just a game system, i bought myself a 1 gig card and i put tv shows and music on it all the time. Ive gotten bored of the games, but im hopefully getting a few for xmas this year so maybe ill be using it more often.

Brilliant machine if you treat it well, just make sure you get some decent games and some other media onto it.

I come down hard on the PSP because it lacks focus. It's got great games, just not that many. It has a web browser, but it slow and crappy. It plays MP3s, but it's better just to get a real player. It plays videos, but only MP4s and it's a hassle to put them on there without A.) and little bit of investigating, or B.) spending more money. It's connectivity with the PS3, however, is amazing. It's a nifty little piece of equipment, it just doesn't excel in the fields it covers except for presentation and visuals.

That's the kind of answer I was looking for, and I really appreciate it, as well as everything else everyone has said. I think I'll just keep my eyes out on a cheap used one that still performs well and go with that. Thanks again! |

To be honest, if you're only willing to buy one game for it, then it is definitely not worth it. However, if you plan on getting interested in the system, and plan on getting more games, then yes, go for it.

I wouldn't get it for just one game. To me, that's wasting money. That's how I've looked at it. If you can find a few more games you would be interested in, then I'd say it'd be worth it.
