Default Psp

I hope I am not posting in the wrong area but I didnt see a PSP forum listed, I just got a used PSP and was looking for new friends since all my friends have Wii and DS.

A few of us have PSPs, including me. Too bad I can't think of any of my games that allow non-local friend matchups.

I bought mine last year in China (original) and spent some fine hours of playing Lumines, Gokumakaimura and Twinbee Portable on it. I used to dislike the system way back but it sure has caught up a lot and moved on from average PS2 ports to a great and diverse library full of games that truly cater to my nerdy taste.

I agree, Keeper. I initially stayed away from it because I thought it had a relatively weak library and was enormous. But the slim is pretty nice, it has a decent pool of downloadable games, and the UMD library has really picked up (however, for me, a lot of the games that are appealing are the ports/remakes).

I got one 2 weeks ago, one of the new 3000 models, I also stayed away from it until now because of lack of games and design problems. But I got a PS3 last Christmas and I was so impressed with that that it persuaded me to buy a PSP as well, I would never have considered buying one before then. There's no lack of PSP games now, there's a lot that I want to get and they're not usually that expensive either, it's not uncommon to find 2nd hand PSP games for under £10.

I didn't used to like Sony consoles before but they're very good now, I hate to say it but they just offer so much more than what Nintendo are doing at the moment in so many areas. I'm disappointed in Nintendo more than I am pleased with Sony. I still prefer the DS, for the range of games and great design, but the PSP is different enough to be worth owning both. There should be a PSP forum.

I agree, but it's the non-PS2-ports that catch my interest (and yours, too, I guess). Just like the above mentioned Twinbee Portable for example.

Just got PSP from my son, He had not turned it on for a couple months so I went ahead and bought it.

ITS AWESOME!! I now can access my PS3 menu remotely (and supposedly anywhere with an wifi connection, I have yet to test it) and access all my "Subtitled" videos!! so I can basically walk around the house doing all the stuff I do and watch a movie carrying the PSP!
I could go on and on but I don't want to sound like an Sony Fanboy...
