I would be getting the PSP Value Pack for ~$200 new on eBay. And i can buy some games for $5-$10 cheaper than in stores.mrbagrat said:4W4K3,
I agree and disagree. Here is what I got:
PSP: 250$
GTA: LCS: 40$
Lumines: 35$
Twisted Metal: 40$
Homebrew: Free
Magazines: Free
Downloaded videos: Free
Music: Bought before
So you don't spend anywhere near what you said (400-1000$) to optimize the PSP. And don't forget the internet and RSS feeds it can get-while the internet is slow, it still is useful at times.
But I do agree about the space. I have a 1gig stick that is almost out of room.
4W4K3 said:That's $365, close to $400 in my mind. And you've only bought 3 games...not exactly what I would consider using all the PSP's features. But that's just my opinion.
Not to mention, what do todays dedicated MP3 players get in battery life? 20hrs+ in some models? That's important to me personally, I'd want at LEAST 10hrs easily.
Thanks, i'll look into thosespeedyink said:I have a PSP and if you wanted to play games on it, then I would say it's worth it. In your case you want to listen to music and watch movies. If you want something with a screen thats bigger than the Ipod Videos, why not get one of those portable media center devices? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmob...ay.aspx?module=deviceDisplay;PMC;americas;175
An extra inch on the screen, and most likely a higher quality screen.
PSP's do have big and gorgeous screens, but don't forget that the purpose of the PSP is to play games.
I agree, i like the old one much better.monkeysims said:bring back the donkey kong avatar, encore
Ya... I have to think this through for a few weeks before i decide on what to buy.Motoxrdude said:I have had mine for about 5 months now. There fun, but very expensive. For music/movies, i would get a video ipod. The 1Gb card is very very small, you fill without a problem, where as the video ipods are 30-60gbs.
Smart, I wish i dont impulse buy sometimes[-0MEGA-] said:Ya... I have to think this through for a few weeks before i decide on what to buy.
I always impulse buy. Lets see... i bought a $450 laptop on "black friday", then returned it a few days later... i bought a $1300 laptop, then sold it on ebay a week later... i buy lots of electronics for my car, and i end up not using them, and i sell them on ebay for 80% cheaper than i paid for them... I have to say, the only real purchase that i made and that im happy with would be my radar detector for my car. Everyone else i have regrets about buying.Motoxrdude said:Smart, I wish i dont impulse buy sometimes

And to the person who commented on the price of the memory cards, i can get a 2GB one for around $40-$50 on eBay.
Sounds like me. Just don't get it. I've got one, do I play it much? Heck no. For the price of that and big memory sticks, you might as well get a UMPC or budget laptop. With the new firmware, the internet is great, but there's no keyboard. If a keyboard was to come out, I'd snag it right away... will I use it? Maybe for a few minutes and then get right back onto my laptop.[-0MEGA-] said:I always impulse buy.

Do you think a Pocket PC would be better? I'm looking at an HP RX3115 on eBay, right now its around $105. So would you say it would be better to buy that for around $150? (It's used, but in good condition). And i can get a 1GB SD card for $25 shipped on newegg.LaptopExtreme said:Sounds like me. Just don't get it. I've got one, do I play it much? Heck no.
