Bit hard to play any existing games on it then, surely...


Although from reading those, it sounds like it's an additional type of PSP, not a replacement to the 3000.

The PSP could have been a wonderful thing if it had 2 joysticks.

Is it just me, or from the E3 pictures does it look absolutely horrid? Plus, for £214, I don't think so!

I bought a PSP a long time ago, and in comparison with my DS, and my consoles, it probably has the most dust on it.

I bought a PSP when it came out and sold it within a couple of months. The simple problem back then was the titles were mostly rubbish and there was not much to look forward to. The actual hardware was great and had many excellent uses but it got hit very badly by piracy which didnt help.

Not sure whats avalible now but its sounding good. Am tempted to buy one again just to play the new MGS on it as it looked fun but I'll have to see what other future titles are planned or I fear I'll end up selling it again after a couple months.

Have a DS to but only been intrested in a couple titles out of the thousands lol. Does not get much use but I wana keep hold of it and every now and again a title I really want will pop up on it.
