Someone offered me £25 for San Andreas today. I could use the money to get another PSP game (either Wipeout Pure or Everybody's Golf -aka Hotshots)

Problem is, £15 is in Virgin vouchers, and I hate getting games from that overpriced place...

So. Do I sell the game, even though I'm only a few missions in and will want to play it again, so that I can get another PSP game on launch?

hm...help me out...

Hmmm...Hot Shots golf is really good, the best PSP game i've played, and im not even a golf fan, I dont know anything about golf (well, I do now).

But San Andreas is pretty good fun sometimes. When you get your PSP you'll probably be too busy downloading loads of stuff for it like movies, backgrounds, music, magazines etc that you probably wont play GTA much.

But it's up to you.

I think every PSP owner should try Hot Shots golf though, I cant see how anybody wouldn't like it, it's so fun and cute.

^_^

Why dont you sell the game somewhere else like Ebay or trade it in GAME, that way you wont have to get a PSP game from Virgin.

Good idea, but I won't, because GTA SA is only going for about £15-£20 on ebay.

From their website, virgin are trying to sell most of their PSP games for £32 - less than retail, but more than the net (and SR) price. However, I will be getting GTA on PSP when it comes out (already put down for it on SR), so will that be a replacement for San An?

I got San Andreas, couldn't be bothered to play it, next day a mate offered to buy it for any price (so i said £27.50) and made myself a packet having won it from GAD. :P

I'd say go for it.

I seriously doubt it will be a replacement, it might be good, but it won't be as good.

I'd take the money.

I've barely played SA since I got it at launch. I just can't seem to get into it at all, despite absolutely loving GTA3 and Vice City. I think the relatively crappy soundtrack has a lot to do with it.

I haven't even opened up the 2nd section of the map yet!

PSP GTA will definately not be as big as San Andreas, but Vice City wasn't as big as SA and I thought it was better.

As long as it has the same amount of free roaming Vice City had then i'll love it.

It's boring. I've finished all the missions and got it up to 65% or something but I've lost interest now. The free roaming element isn't exciting anymore because it's been done to death, which leaves San Andreas with nothing to entice me.

I'd have to agree about the soundtrack, it's rubbish. Vice City had a marvellous soundtrack and I could listen to whatever came on. On San Andreas I usually turned it off because everything on the play-list made the experience seem that little bit more dull.

If yuo think that you'd prefer whatever PSP game you'd get to GTA, then go for it. Personally, I'd say sell your PS2 version of SA and buy the PC version.

Don't forget you can always just go and hang around Virgin, and then swap your vouchers with someone who is actually going to buy something there.
