i've yet to meet anyone completely satisfied with their PSP. even those w/ a homebrew. Even more so now that the PSP is falling behind in technology.

the opposite can be said for most ppl with an iphone and/or DS.

that is what i'm aiming at.

only reason i dont' have a DS yet is because i'm waiting for the new one, and even then i'm afraid i'll be too hooked to it... so we'll see.

I have to say I thought it was pretty cool to go to my ps3 rip a cd and then copy the cd album directly to my psp using the ps3 controller charge cable.

I also carry my psp in my shirt pocket at work... The psp 3000 is smaller lighter, and the disc tray simplified...

I dunno I havent played all 423 psp games.. as I am a new psp user, but the ones I have played ive enjoyed..

Syphon Filter Logans Shadow
Star Ocean 1
Phantasy Star Portable
Harvey Birdman
Rtype Command

I actually hated Patapon, of course Ive never liked rytmetric games...

Also you can transfer ps 1 games *from the store* off of your ps3 to your psp I did this with Suikoden and Syphon Filter, and you can transfer the saves.

Portable Jrpgs I consider a blessing.. lets just say when I turn my psp but a few weeks ago it was a religious experience for me.

But that was me...

Though I made 2 mistakes I let the gamestop lady con me into the large bundle with a movie I didn't want, and a small thumbstick, which I have discovered im going to be needed a much bigger one

Here is the list of psp games that I painstankly compiled..

that's pretty lame that you have to go into your PS3 to rip a CD, either forcing you to eventually delete it, or upgrade the hard drive.

on my smartphone, i transfer over the music already in my computer's library that i was going to rip regardless of wether or not i was going to put it into a mobile device.

also, it'd be cool if the PS3 can let you rip movies and copy them over to your PSP, but alas, mobile phone users don't have to hope for better video support.

that's all i'm saying is that it falls behind modern technology BIG TIME in terms of A/V entertainment, and waaaaaaaaaaay behind in terms of games.
last i checked $20 is still more than $10, and even more so when you think about playing loco rocco 2 for over 14 months.

it's very simple. PSP needs to have WMP support, because god knows sony isn't going to give apple the courtesy. and then the PSP can begin to rival current technology mobile phones. although it's still one more thing to carry, and like everything, possibly drop and lose/have stolen. given a PSP, the game inside and the MSD card inside can't be insured for replacement.
also, i'm still not convinced there are more than 3 PSP games worth $30.
given all the other gaming options $30 can give you otherwise. by which i mean, greatest hits PS3 games,PS3 PSN titles, underrated PS2 games in hte bargain bin, DS games, iphone games, and even $10 puzzle games compatible with free mobile phones.

and i'm not even going to get into the fact that playing a handheld is significantly uncomfortable compared to console gaming because iphone is also guilty of which, but i would never put a PS1 game in a PSP if i can play it in my livingroom, and i'm aware that may be subjective, but i'd be surprised if anyoen is more comfortable with their neck bent looking at a tiny screen in their hand over sitting comfortably in a couch looking at a TV not forced into any given position.... i guess i did get into it. :P

fact is sony's PSP has fallen behind, and i dare anyone to deny that. like anyoen in this forum will tell you, no sense in buying a new DVD when u can get Blu-ray for the same price.
