Yea, I've had my PSP for 2 days now, and I think its awesome as, I'm wondering if anybody else has one and what they think of it!

I was browsing Nova at school yesterday on it ...dam teachers try and watch what I'm doing when I use the PowerBook, I can conceal the PSP from them

I have one it is great, and if you get pspware, it is even better, mac osx style syncing with your psp.

is psp like playstation 2 or is it like playstation 1?

i got the psp. its great but the lack of games made me also get a DS (Nintendogs). Starting september though a lot of games are coming out on the PSP so thats really cool. Today I even got an email from Sony telling me I am going to be a beta tester for SOCOM.

Me too. I got the beta test email yesterday.

Web browsing is... decent. Text input is annoying. A thumbboard would be nice. At university here I have to log in via the web to use the wireless network.

PSPware is perfect in every way.

I'm really happy with my PSP, I think Sony did a good job. I just wish it were possible to rent the UMD videos at Blockbuster or something, because I'm not paying $20 for a movie when I could pay the same price for the DVD...

I don't own one myself, but I LOVE the screen on the PSP.
Such a refreshing change from the small screens on most hand held gaming devices.

You can rent UMD movies as well as PSP games through GameFly.com.

I got the PSP last Spring so I could show pics and movies of my son to coworkers. I also wanted to be able to play games. So far Lumines has gotten most of my gaming attention but it's getting a bit ... repetitive. I have Twisted Metal: Head On and it's cool, but my thumb gets fried after playing for a bit.

I'm hoping a decent RPG will come out soon. I was pretty much sold on Coded Arms until the reviews came out. Most places rated it 5/10 and it takes a lot for these game rating places to rate a game as sucky as that.

Apparently the PSP's graphics can match and possibly even better the PS2's Graphics, cant remember where i read it, will look for a link...

edit:

Christ Charla (of the development outfits Digital Eclipse and now Backbone Entertainment) said at the handheld's tech demonstration unveiling conference: "Polygon for polygon, PSP has more power than PS2 ... A huge number of effects that are given to you in software on PS2 are available in hardware on PSP."

If it had a decent sized hard drive it would be essential.

With its current reliance on memory sticks it cant fulfill its potential.

[HezMah19]

The memory sticks are available up to 1GB and are hot swappable, however I agree, a HD would have been cool.

I spose' that would have lowered the Battery life though?

Plus weight, and cost.

I heard the next "revision" of the PSP is supposed to have a HD, but a change that big would most likely be a PSP 2 not a PSP 1.5...
