"Do you have an imported PSP?"

Well, do you?

What exactly is in the box? I know it may or may not be slightly different for the UK release, but I'm interested to know.

I'm on the verge of pre-ordering one from Amazon... the only thing holding me back at the moment is the possibility of better packages from elsewhere.

I just wish Sony would hurry up and make an official announcement so that everyone could get their deals together!

A warning for you owners, if you haven't already seen it...

But it seems like PSP is going places.

That's definitely part of the problem the PSP will have. People will see that it CAN play movies and mp3's and start to focus on that more than the fact that it's supposed to be a games machine which is also capable of doing those things.

I can see that Sony would see it as a win/win situation though - as if it has two parts that makes it a success. And if it's not a success as a games console it can still be a decent handheld media device (which I agree it is).

That IGN thing is a joke.. just look at their bit on the memory stick.. 'it's too small for MP3s! It's too small for videos! Photos will fill it up quickly! Oh but it'll last you ages for game saves'

Well DUUUHH that's the point of including it you mongs... So when you get a brand new PSP you're not then unable to save any of your games... I think if they included a 1GB card the term 'value' pack would start to look a little misleading. (I think they've made the mistake many have in thinking that the PSP only has a secondary function of playing games)

I think you've had a dream, woken up, and thought it was real.

You mean according to nobody who has one..

What ARE you on about - for starters the headphones are top quality and many people say they haven't even used the external speakers sicne they got it (due to headphone sound being infinitely superior)

According to everyone who has one, the Value Pack is utter tosh. The components are tacky and badly made, the 32Mb stick is hardly enough for any MP3 playback and the headphones are attrocious. The only reason to buy one is because the headphones are the only ones with a remote, meaning you won't have to take your PSP out of your pocket everytime you change track (if you're ever going to use it for MP3s. I'd suggest buying a standalone MP3 player for the same price as a memory stick as it will serve you better.).

There, just warning you not to buy the Value Pack.

Heh, thwarted...

Nope. As long as the case protects the machine and still slips into a pocket, that's all I want. A case that holds games would be too bulky. I can keep the games in another pocket if necessary, but chances are I'll only have the game I'm playing, and that will be in the machine!

I'm sure someone else will make a case that holds games, if anyone wants that.

But would'nt you rather they made a case that holds a few games?
