Im looking into buying a PSP when i get 250$. I want to know if its worth it. Yes or no and please give an explaination why you picked yes or no.

Depends on what you're going to use it for.

If it's for media purposes (videos, music, photos) then it's a decent handheld. But if it's for gaming, don't expect much.

Most of its features are nice, but require extra memory purchases most of the time.

If you want Playstation 2 quality games, it would be best to buy a PS2, not a PSP.

Basically, it's a "Jack of a trades, master of none".

*edit*
To add to this.. It's really not a convenient "On-The-Go" handheld. Since it uses UMDs instead of cartridges, game-loading times are much slower due to UMD accessing and due to the fact that putting moving parts on handhelds ruins everything. (Take CD Players for example.)

My Personal Opinion Is I Hate Them.. I Spent 1/3 Of My B-Day Money On One And I Dunno Why I Did... Its Defanitely Better Than The Nintendo DS But The Graphics Arnt Much Better.... It Really Depends What U Want To Buy It For... If U Want It For Music Ur Better Of With A IPod... If U Want It For Gaming... Its Not The Best Graphics But Its Good If Ur Travelling In The Car Or On The Train Etc. The UMD Movies Are Also Ok.. When Travelling.

My Overall Rating
4/10 Probs Would Of Been 6/10 But With All The Hype How Good It Was Going 2 Be It Was A Real Dissapointment

Hmm.. Not really. But if you want more than 4 songs on your PSP, be ready to fork over some money to spend on Memory Sticks. A 1GB Memory Stick should do.

The main issue with the games for the PSP is mostly that they're ports from PS2 that have been watered down to be playable on the handheld. It's much better to play the games on the PS2 then have a mediocre version of it on the handheld.

You can put any music you own on the PSP and any video you own as well. The main issue with the PSP is space though, because you only get 32MB included with it. :\

Ive got one and love it! it depends what games you've got for it and how big the memory stick is, what music and videos are on it etc...

Ive got PSP, PS2, PC, Phone and a GameBoy advance. Im just looking into getting an Xbox 360 :rolleyes::eusa_danc

If you're aiming for a long-play session. Best keep it plugged in its charger, because before you know it, it turns off.
