Hello all was thinking of getting a PSP for myself. How's the review? anyone had it?or it is just another troublesome gadget to play with?

The psp is good, if you want to play homebrew ( program stuff on your psp ) on it you need a firmware version lower than version 2.0. If you don't care about it, the firmware doesn't matter.

Anyways i know lots of people who have a psp and they are all very happy with it as far as i know. Great quality screen, sound, internet browser etc.

I have a nds btw. Laughing

I got myself a PSP awhile back and I love it.
There's some great games (Wipeout, Mercury, and Burnout to name a few), works well as an MP3 player, and the web-browser, while slow, is pretty cool.

Like Rommaster said if you want to program things on your PSP you need a version lower then 2.0. Though all PSPs now for sale all come with a firmware version 2.0 or higher. Don't let that bother you though, since there are ways to DOWNGRADE your Firmware to something lower then 2.0. So you don't need to worry about getting an older psp if you wish to program things on it.

Keep in mind you can only downgrade from 2.0
If you have the latest (2.6 or 2.06, something like that) then you can't use any homebrew apps.

I have it to. I'm a little dissapointed about it. The games cost a fortune.

But it's cool for browing the web and mp3 listening Cool

Hey, they're cheaper than most video games at least.

I have my own psp console for 1 year maybe.
Well how to say it ... i like it !!! It is perfect for gamers that travels a lot and like to play the latest hits.Also you can browse in the internet via wireless and play multiplayer games, watch movies and pictures, listen to music.

Get a psp with 2.0 or below firmware on it you will be able to run all homebrew on it emulators etc.

This may be difficult to find though so ebay might be the best bet.

The PSP is awesome! I blew about 3/4 of my first paycheck on a PSP and Wipeout: Pure, and I gotta say it was a great decision. There's some awesome games on the PSP (Wipeout, Untold Legends, Mercury to name only a few), plus it's my MP3 player, I have my favorite webcomics saved on it, and I can wardrive/warwalk with it! Very Happy

Homebrew is class for it depending on your version of psp. Greatest handheld console there is just now imo.
