And so it begins. Still, sounds a long way off at the moment, and you still don't get a game for your cash (you do get the Value Pack though, with 32MB card, battery pack, pouch, strap and other useless gubbins). Free copy of Spider-Man 2 the movie on UMD if you register too.

Don't know why I bothered to post this, I won't able to afford one for about four years now anyway.

I was thinking about getting one, but then I realised it would be a huge waste of money.

The only advantage it has over it's big brother is that it's portable, which presents me with a problem. There is no way in hell I'm going to play games in a public place.

So, the only decent thing the PSP has going for it is ruined by my own fear of being laughed at.

Japanese PSPs will be the same wont they? I still wont be able to play a UK UMD movie.

Get a japanese one then.I want to import one but if it is out in Dubai I'll get it from there but is it out there?

The thing is, I can see myself buying UMD movies for the PSP and if thats the case I can't get an American PSP.

I think so. The only way to get around it is to get someone to bring it to this country themselves for you.

I have family in Canada, if I were to ask them to get me a PSP and them send it over would I get charged for importing?

Isn't the tax and postage quite expensive though?

EDIT: Does anybody know if it has been released in Dubai as I am going in the summer.

As long as the seller marks the item down, you will definitely be better off Importing.

Yea, it's a bit on the expensive side. Not that I think I'll get one now anyway, I hardly use the consoles I have anymore, so I'm not likely to play anything while I'm out. Nevertheless, I would have thought £150 with game would have been reasonable.

Way too much.

You can buy a DS and a PS2 for about the same price. I would have bought one a couple of years ago, but i had more money and less sense back then.
