Awesome. Buy a PSP because it looks good and just stare at it. Sweet, mind if I join you? We can wirelessly connect and stare at our PSPs together!

If you don't like the games, don't waste your money on the hardware. PSP is not a collectors item, there's no reason to own it if you don't plan on playing it.

You paid $199 for that Gamecube you have, and now you want to pay $249 for a system with games you don't care for? Why? It's a waste of money.

I think you would be better off saving your money rather than buying a PSP. Once you buy the PSP, a couple games, a bigger memory card so you can realize it isn't a MP3 player, maybe waste some money on buying a movie just to say you've tried it, and you just spent a lot of money. Better off saving it for an Xbox 360. At least then you can sit around and change faceplates all day.

Seriously, $250 is ridicules. If you really wanted it, I'd say buy it. If not, wait. It'll drop in price. I want one too every time I go into a store, but I'm not spending $250 on a system that suffers from poor battery life and defective square buttons only because it has a big screen and pretty graphics. I'm more than sick of Metal Gear, and Hot Shots Golf. It's the reason I don't play my PS2. The only game that even peaked my interest is Death Jr, and I'll grab it for a couple bucks off eBay in a couple years.

Xbox 360 is coming out this fall, and despite how much I make fun of it, it will be the best system, hands-down for a year after its launch. I'll be playing my games in 720p over the best online service consoles have ever seen. If I'
m going to spend my money on a game system with horrible games, I'd rather go Xbox 360, not PSP.
