I recently held the PSP in my hands for first time and I must say it'a a very impressive machine a must have whether you like it or not. thats because the UMD is going to be very popular from all the signs.

i have one

Compared to the Sony Playstation 2, how is it better, worse, or just about the same in gameplay quality?

it's not as powerful as the PS2 but for it's powerful enough for a handheld. i'll say it's in between a PS1 and a PS2. at the moment, there aren't enough quality titles on it - it's just a cool looking piece of hardware. Nintendo's DS in front in terms of sales. seems Nintendo have the hand-held market on lock down.

i dont play much games on it , i watch movies on mine

basically d same reason why i like it, i can get to watch 'desperate housewives' on it. i don't own one n i seriously won't think of buyin it(except the malls are out of clothes ), mostly guyz that have a thing for it.

It's a good piece of hardware, however there is one thing stopping me from buying it...
There's almost no good games available on it

The PSP is cool,but with PS3 on its way,gamers will soon take their mind off it.just wait for Pro evolution 5 or Bulletproof to hit the market

Thatz very correct Tipsy

the extremely high launch price of the playstation 3 will turn people off straight away, they reckon it could be as much as $1200 USD when released

PSP is very cool. I play it often though I don't own one. I'd really love to get one anywayz. I just love the fact that it is portable.

PSP is a cool item. It comes in very handy on long flights and when you have spare time to waste. The integrated web browser that's a part of the latest update to it is great also.

My brother knows a dude in Ikoyi who sells these PSP thing, brand new one's, he is got lots of them for sale, my brother and his friend actually bought two from him. I can hook you guys up with him if you wanna get one, he sells them for N90k each but he could probably still go down sha

i hear the PSP is one sick gadget. i want to get one but i dont know how big its memory is. please if you have one tell me its importance and uses and how big the memory is.

90k for a psp is pure theft. i bought mine 30k some months back, and i heard its standard at 35K.
i've long since downgraded to firmware 1.5, installed a SNES and megadrive emulator, play pirated games from the memory stick (currently playing winning eleven 9!!!). I've got quake 1 & 2 running on it.
i really recommend burnout: legends for anyone out there, cos its a stunning game.
someone asked me 2 swap it all for an xbox 360. still trying 2 decide if thats a good deal. what d'ya think?

35k as in 35thousand or 3,500 naira

regarding memory, you can get a 1GB memory stick, the system is awesome. you can use it for way more things than just play games, go online, play video, music, pictures, stream music, and also you have many homebrews that u can run on psp depending on the version u r running. though there is now support for homebrews on 2.6, i have tried some of the home brews on 2.6 works great as for me i am still waiting for the possibility of running ROMs on 2.6. if you are planning on getting one, its a really cool device,

i use it as a remote controller for some home my electronic device, (computer, tv). the functionality is very extensive if you really want to make use of as many features as you like

35K as in 35 thousand naira. where will ya get a psp for 3,500?
work's proghressing nicely on an n64 emu for psp. i can barely wait, !
still gives a thrill when i whipout my psp in a bus and start playing ps2 quality winning eleven 9!

not very pocketable, theres still dead pixels, the square key is stickin and the battery dont last much. and that analog snub? dont even let me start on that. cool as a show off piece but still not all that hot.gave mine away . get DS,nintendogs.

ah! tis a question naw?hmm _{*tryin to convert 30 thousand naira to dollars*}

@texazzpete wot u waitin 4? man go on swap ur psp for d xbox360 d psp i more of a show off device as @Neoteny as said *Even d upcoming ps3 cant beat d xbox360 i know 4 sure d playstation guys r goin to copy d xbox!

@Hunter i think those playstation guys r sick how culd an 'unknown ps3' go for 1200$ wen an xbox360 goes for 500+ or - .They r surely goin to play d game all by themselves after release! >word<

well 4 me i don't think its a must have coz it also has its own share faults. i think a ds would be better maintained in naija. coz its cheaper and well last longer than d psp due to da simple nature of d game. i've had a ds 4 some time now,and i think its worth d money. if given a second chance i'll still go 4 a ds. i think d psp would only suit pple who have placed games as their highest priority coz da mini discs are very expensive. and da console is worth like$250

Sup people?av got 5 brand new PSPs for sale @ 30 thousand naira for each , they"ve all got the accessories in tact , still available for grab with a demo CD on it, any nairalander interested can give me a ring on 08028990518, cheers!!!!

Firstly,it's the best hand held game ever. secondly,it cuts through everything about multimedia, it's not just about the games on it,but what the gadget can do. as far as I'm concern for now, it's almost comparable to a hand held p.c.

starry, for the benefit of others trying to have 1, won't it be polite to give it out @ a reasonably price? you never differentiated which of the brands u are have,whether a phat or a slim, hacked or unhacked but you're so concern about the money. by the way 5 PSPs my brother,in fact E.F.C.C. must here to this

The PSP has been handily outsold by the Nintendo DS by a wide margin. So i'd say it's a far cry from being the 'best portable gadget' out there.

And it's far from ideal for multimedia for extended periods, thanks to the battery life.

That said, it does have a lot of potential.

get one thing clear, Nintendo ds outsold psp all becos it is very cheap compared to psp. . .i so much agree that nintendo ds is a good handheld gadget, but it is majorly made for playing games. . . and it cant do all wot i said psp can do. . . . .
