    What shall i do with my psp? sell it?

    Well ive had a USA psp v1.5 for some tine now, but i just dont use it at all anymore, its just gathering dust. It is an impressive bit of kit dont get me wrong, but are there any new games that are coming out that should stop me selling it?

    Most games on it so far have been rubbish (GTA was good off course), but do u think it would be wise of me to flog it off now? Seems a bit of a waste of money now

    I suppose you sold it on e*** to get a price like that, not bad i suppose...i was actually thinking of selling it and getting a 360 instead. Would it be worth it?? as you have/had both shall i sell and get a 360?

    Nah I sold it on a forum I run to a local member... had the cash in my hand within 30 minutes of posting it.

    As I get little time to play games, i'd say I enjoy the 360 a lot more than staring at the PC... Plus I can watch DVDs, stream music and videos from my computer, play on Xbox Live etc, just more to do, and the graphics are... well, anti-aliased for a start

    So yeah, i'd say it's worth it.

    I do love my pc games...but am looking at a 360/ps3....i just dont use my psp all that much but the new titles that are coming out do feel tempting...i suppose i might just wait till the end of the month and see what the situation is like then.

    Thing is, you could go and buy worms, lemmings, <insert game name here>, but you are likely to be bored of it again in the near future. Where do you use your PSP? It's a portable console that comes into it's own on trains, as a passenger in a car, or when you are away from your main gaming machine (be that a PC or a console).

    If you are just playing it at home then really it's just an expensive under-powered PS2 isn't it?


    I've found this with every hand-held console I have owned, I buy it and then play it at home a fair bit, then I realise that while I am at home I have the better gaming machine at home - my PC. So the hand-held goes in a draw until it's travel time, my GBA for example only really get's used on trains and planes these days..

    Well i use it at home, but also when i travel (which isnt that often). I use it at home cos my flatmate has one too, so multiplayer gaming is quite good. But i suppose i prefer my PC more. I just used it on the train back to uni, but if im not using something i have payed in excess of £200 for that often i shouldnt really keep it. Thats why im thinking maybe a X360 is more worth the money. Its a hard decision i tell ya!

    A 360 isn't worth the money yet Maybe when the prices drop but right now unless your rich enough to spend around 400quid (after accessories, games, etc) on a console that only has one edge over the others - graphics - and that edge doesnt even hold up against a PC

    but yes you are right, a hard decision for you to make
