If you're just getting one game, don't get Lumines. That's my advice.

I'd go for Hot Shots Golf for just one game. It's good, it's long, and it shows off the screen pretty well.

I second the Hot Shots Golf motion... If you're a fan of the series, or of similar games like... Well I think Mario Golf was pretty similar...

Lumines is also very fun, but I dunno I'm not a huge fan of puzzle games so it wore off kinda fast for me...

Wipeout is another good game, if you're into racing games that and Ridge Racer are supposed to be very good...

And of course, if the PSP you buy does happen to have Firmware Version 1.5, then the flood gates are open for all the portable emulators you've (maybe) always dreamed of...

Edit: Videogames.com says that the PSPs in Europe and Australia will come with 2.0... Sadly there will be no emulation fun for you (not right now at least) :<

But hey, you get a portable web browser!.............

it's nice to have fingerprints sometimes, because it gives you a good feeling to clean it and polish it (like polishing I gun I guess)

I like twisted metal a lot, not a big fan of wipeout though.

movies are great to watch on it.

I like the screen protector I got, $10 for two, keeps it nice and safe, that way, I can carry the PSP in my pocket where handhelds belong.

The PSP is still working great for me. I'll download anime onto it, and tv shows and my music. I play Twisted Metal, like all the time, and Coded Arms has to be one of the funnest portable FPS' I've played. Kinda hard w/ one analog, but you know how it is...

We had to go on a lil trip, but I wanted to watch some new episodes of anime series that came out. Downloaded it to the PSP watched it on the car ride... good fun.

I don't think I ever play the PSP long enough to the point where it's dying.... the battery life is highly underrated. Most I've used psp was for like 3 hours for watching a movie and playing games.

Well I'm pretty sure no one uses that stupid white wrist strap. Aside from that, there's nothing else in the box except for the headphone setup and the shammy.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Can I ask you what settings you use on your washer when putting the cleaning cloth in?
