    What good is a PSP?

    seriously... outside of portability?

    games are still $40-$50 (do they work in the PS2?)... the movies seem to cost more than DVDs..

    and do people really want to watch movies or spend $50 to play madden on a 4" screen?

    /me doesn't get it.

        You need to buy flash memory to put your games on. You cannot burn your own disks.

        And, of course, flash memory for PSPs costs a lot of money, and you need at least 1 gig to make it worth it.

          PSP sucks. Sony just wanted to recycle their PS2 technology to make more money, before launching their PS3 next year.

              i have a ps2... i was going to get the xbox but the controller made me homicidal, so i passed.

              maybe the next wave will improve the controller a bit...

                    you don't have to watch it in your living room you know....you can bring in on a plane...in a car etc...


                    Plus that shit has wireless internet...I can play online with the free netcafe network next to me...you have a webbrowser etc... and IM app will follow shortly...


                    you might as well ask why buy a Palm...or a Treo... A lot of office app are coming out for the PSP, and you can buy a keyboard for it...+ the games of course...

                      Maybe it's for people who like to have their music, games and videos all in one place, for things like travelling.

                      Also, it will work with the PS3. the PSP came out AFTER the PS2 so of course it won't work on the PS2.

                        My brother works at Best Buy and he said the PSPs totally tanked, they can't get rid of them.

                        I think the problem with PSPs is they simply do too much. They boast all of the extras as good features to have, but really... who wants to carry around a clunky PSP to listen to music when MP3 Players are smaller than a deck of cards and cost a fraction of the price.

                                  good example of the PSP's multiple features!...

                                  and to the one saying an mp3 player is smaller...sure..I got an ipod mini...

                                  but you can't watch movies or browse the web on it!....

                                  and of course...the games damn it...it's a fucking portable playstation....all this stuff is just extra...check out the nintendo DS for example..won't do 1/10th of what the PSP can do...i don't see why people are whining...the psp is a great tool and a cool gaming console
                                  mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation

                                    That's cuz no one shops at Best Buy, unless they are totally clueless about where to buy stuff...
