    Gonna buy a PSP I think?

    Just a few questions though. I'm not sure about all these different versions that are avaliable. Can someone explan them to me.

    Also can you get on the internet with it?

    Why do you want a PSP? I'm trying to think of a useful feature that I can't find on a cheaper device and am drawing a blank. The only benefit I can think of is that it might be a conversation piece in an engineering class (if you can call drawing a socially inept geek into conversation a benefit).

    Yes, you can browse the internet.

    I spend about 2 hours on a train a day going to and from work so GTA would be fantastic. I have a mac mini and Xbox 360 at home so only really play the Xbox when I get a chance.

    Looking at those comments it looks like the package is gonna be cut and the price will follow. Gonna pop into Game tongiht and see what's avaliable.

    And they'll stuff you with loads of bundled games u dont want to play..

    game have a reasonable bundle right now - Giga Piack (usb cable, 1gb memory stick, some other odds & sods), plus one of 4 games (including lemmings & wipeout) for £215. no crappy unofficial accessories; no forced coppies of "pursuit force" or "world soccer bollocks" or anything like that

    I have been playing the DS over the last week and I gotta say that it's not as good as the PSP.

    I Have a PSP and have been using it since the day i brought it. I think that it is a very good system. Most of the games are good, GTA, PRO EVO, Tiger Woods., The rest of the sports games, Lemmings is cool.

    Wireless play is ok not many games support it at the moment. I have got MLB06 THE SHOW which has online play plus RSS feeds which is a nice thing to have so the wireless part looks like game makers are starting to use it.

    The audio and video support i dnt really use i thought i would but it just takes to much time to convert all my videos to the supported file format. MPG4 all mine are in DIVX.

    Hanvt Sony said that they will be making downloadable content available for the PSP this shall be a nice feature i think.

    Well thats my chattering over with.
