"Well whaddya know..."

They haven't deleted my login yet!

Oh well, while I'm here...

First off - hello all. Hope you're all having spiffingly wonderful lives. Well, most of you... ;-p

Now that's out of the way...

I have my PSP on pre-order with a certain other online retailer, and I need to get some games for it too. So any of you importers got any recommendations? I'll be buying official UK versions first off, but importers may be in a position to advise, having played the games. Yes, I have read reviews, but personal opinions can give a better balance.

What I'm thinking of so far are Ridge Racer, Mercury, Virtua Tennis, Metal Gear Acid, Ape Academy and Coded Arms. I know some of these are out in other regions, others may not be. Anyone have them and care to share their opinion?

Obviously there are a few must-have games which will be out shortly after launch (I'm thinking GT4 Mobile, Daxter and Pursuit Force specifically), but what of the current games? Is Mercury as much fun as it looks? Does Metal Gear really work as a 'card game'? How does Coded Arms play with only one analogue stick? Is Ape Academy fun? Should I choose a racer other than Ridge?

Also, as PSP is region-free for gaming, what websites would you recommend for cheap import games? Now I know some people at SR get particularly arsey about naming competitors here, even when they sell a multitude of things that SR don't... so feel free to e-mail me (about this only) - address on my profile page. And thanks in advance.

Sorry Bullett, sold the stick to a not so savvy friend for £75. pb, I've sent out a reply regarding Hot Shots.

It's the only PSP thats been getting FREE downloadable content.

....and the content is great!

Well, that's a relief.

I've just had an e-mail from Game telling me that I will definitely receive my PSP on release day! :-D

I was originally, but it doesn't really hold the same appeal any more.

It certainly will, although I recommend Wipeout Pure - unless you're not a fan of the series...

Well, my mind is made up on the games.

I'm going to order Mercury, Lumines, Virtua Tennis and Ridge Racer.

I was going to get TOCA 2, but as I can't find a review anywhere, I'm going to leave it. Besides, I'll absolutely be getting GT4 Mobile when it's out, and Ridge will keep me going until then.

I'd love to have that 1gb stick off of you, Icarus. But I need to get rid of my 512mb one first.

Hmmmm...if im still interested tommorow i'll let you know. But for now it's just a hmmmm...

However, if you really want to get rid of it, I suggest you do it quick cause i've just found this one on Ebay for a total of £45 inc. p&p.

They are getting really cheap now.

well, no, it meant yes, but in the meantime I've worked out I can't quite afford £60 yet. The golf game, however, interests me...
