This is the un-official PSP topic, where you can discuss PSPs all you like, I even typed this on my PSP

Shouldn't this be like in the games thread?

Not really, you can do more with a PSP than just play games, as shown by Bkize.

I got bored of my PSP... The only reason i bought a PSP, was because of LIberty Stories, but i just couldn't be bothered playing it.

Even tho you can do so many things with the PSPs, the poor battery life makes it really annoying... i mean my laptop has a better battery life then the PSP!

Music
In terms of player music it sucks, it can only play MP3 format, not WMA. The battery life sucks compared to pretty much all other MP3 players. And you don't have that much space to put a lot of music in anyway.

Movies
Would you spend Â£30 on a movie for the PSP or Â£10 on a DVD which you can watch at a much higher quality or even on a portable DVD player? And why would anyone wanna watch a movie on such a small screen?

Just because it can do so many things, it doesn't mean to say it can do them any good. I'd rather listen to music on my MP3 player (with better battery life and more music). I'd rather watch a movie on my PC or at home on the TV. Hell I could watch a DVD on my laptop at a higer resolution.

If the PSP just stuck to gaming, then it wouldn't have all those problems. I'm gonna wait until the prices for the games go down, if they ever do and buy Street Fighter.

I don't think you've updated your PSP very recently, it can play more formats with the latest update, plus I bought a 2 GB memory card

Movies
I agree with you on the price, but they do have converters where you can convert movies to PSP format, and you have to wonder, WTF were they thinking with the video Ipod XD

Ok, so some changes have been made on the formats of differnt music it can play, but 2GB still isn't enough for me... I have over 5GB worth of music on my MP3 player, and I can play it for a lot longer.

Ok, so the PSP ain't that bad it does have good points and thats the gaming side of it.

I agree, most of the devices that throw in tons of useless crap usually end up being terrible.

The PsP is great for gaimng handheld, I find the footy games alot of fun on it.

Though the screen is small for watching mobies as pointed out, I wouldnt want to use something that big to play music with (Yes the PsP is rather small but for a music player.....)

The web browsing Is ok, after updating its alot better though it's only good for reading really as posting takes half an hour lol

I still think there great and I love it that you can download demo's for it, the graphics on some games are amazing and so is the game range.

Games though are ovepriced but the most ive payed for a game is Â£18 (shop around) Loco Roco I want to get but Â£35! Gotta love the music on it @(played the demo)

For now there is only two demos locoroco and world tour soccer 2006.

go here http://www.us.playstation.com/PSP and download them by connecting your psp with a usb cable to you pc and download the demo, is the fastes way than using your internet in the psp.
