Random thoughts on the PSP...

- The skin grip is the best accessory available
- The analog stick is located too low. It would be perfect if it was where the d-pad is and vice versa (obviously the d-pad would be smaller)
- I think the PSP version of NBA Live 06 looks "better" than the PS2 version. I dunno how else to state that

- The Playgear Pocket is the best accessory available, if you're taking it outside the house. Hell, even if you're not.
- Why the hell're the buttons so mushy? The PSX pads didn't feel like that.
 
I feel like I am reading the load screens of a bad game..

I agree 100% with this. PSP button layout makes long gaming sessions impossible me. It just too uncomfortable. :\ wtf where they thinking.

IMO of course.
 
loco roco will force mattiewheels to buy a psp.
 
As a portable gaming machine, the PSP leaves a lot to be desired in terms of basic function: durability, battery life, responsive controls and no loading are not sexy system sellers, but they make a big difference where it matters.

Hosannahs in the highest to hackers and 1GB sticks. :D
 
-Playing PSP using the analogue stick for extended periods of time makes my fingers numb
-I wish more portable style games were out for it (I don't want a home console feel game in my hands)
-PSPs and pavement don't mix

Ouch.

Personally my biggest problem is loading times. It takes too long to start up a game, and to switch to the media functions. If Capcom does a shitty port job of SFA3 like they did Darkstalkers I'm gonna be disappointed. The analog should be activated for 2d fighters because it feels like a NGPC clickstick sorta, and Capcom needs to resolve the 25 second loadtimes inbetween matches.

Also touching play on the remote should automatically bring you to your music playlist (maybe it does in the new firmware?).

Most worthless D-pad and analog nub make gaming a pain in the ass.

Not to keep this topic entirely negative, I'm really impressed by the battery life. Sure it doesn't last as long as the GBA, or DS but it keeps a slim profile and lasts atleast 6 hours for me.

Also the hacking and shit is fun. Although it ruined one of my memory sticks.

My PSP facts

-ColdBloodeds fault I purchased one
-Regret purchasing now
-Collects...no dust and going towards my 360 as well.

-Hot shots golf and SNES Roms are the only games ever played on mine.
(Anyone want to buy a mint condition PSP ver 1.5? With HSG and 2 32 MB cards?)
 
I can't say I'm disappointed, I've gotten a fair amount of use from it. Especially from homebrew apps and what not. I don't carry it on me that much, mostly because it's not quite portable enough to just slip into my pocket.
 
- Thanks to this thread I feel sad
- I wanted TALKMAN a non-game (features a talking crow, hmmm named drinky? :(...)
- I may not buy a white PSP until Loco Roco
- I may not buy a PSP until price drop thanks to this thread.
- wtf happened to the hype?

PSP is freaking awesome and will only get better.
 
-It's expensive
-It's got too many PS2 ports
-ROMS FTW
-Madden on PSP is probably better than Madden on Xbox
-It still owns the fuck out of the stone age Nintendo DS

What the FUCK?

Seems to move faster
More fluid
No vision cone

It would be great to play alongside the PS2 version too but the franchise mode on PS2 seems to take 3 hours to simulate a season so I took it back.
