... is it worth it then?
Apart from playing games, what can it do exactly? Can it go online anywhere or do you need to be in a WiFi hotspot or something? Can you only play games online or can you browse the interweb etc?

One pixel on my PSP started to stay white after the screen goes all black, about 2 weeks after I got it.
Works fine whilst the screen is actually doing things though.
How often are you likely to have a black screen whilst playing the PSP anyway? Only between menu screens and whilst loading, probably.

I think there were reports about dead pixels on American PSP's. Me and my mate bought our PSP's today though and they're both fine.

There have been reports of some units having the odd dead pixel, but I'd be reluctant to say it's a major issue. There are people posting here who have them, but say that it doesn't affect the enjoyment at all.
About a year ago, I bought a Sony Clie NX-70V palmtop, and had read lots of reports on the net about the screens on those (also large, colour LCD screens) having dead pixels. I bought one anyway, and the screen is perfect.
Same with the PSP. Have read lots of reports, but mine arrived today and is absolutely fine.
It is apparently quite a common issue with LCD screens. Google the appropriate words, and you can find plenty of similar problems with the DS.

The PSP is good, the amount of stuff crammed in it is amazing, but the games don't 'do it' for me. The DS is far more innovative and interesting to play, but then again, you can't really compare the two. You want all of today's modern technology crammed into one? Get a PSP.
Have to admit, Wipeout is pretty good though.

What's this I'm seeing mentioned in some threads about dead pixels? Don't tell me you could have had one on pre-order for months, then when you get it some of the screen is knackered, only you can't get a new one because they are out of stock.
Nice.
Nice.

There's a link in my new user quaestion and answer thread for the Sonic Stage 3.2 software you need to convert files to atrac3plus and transfer them to PSP.
They don't go in the music folder, they don't work from there :).

I've had mine since the beginning of July, nice Canadian model.
My only complaint is that the games are too expensive for what most of them are. Importing them is cheaper.
£30 for Ape Academy, I don't think so :).
PSP games are region free, so you could import twisted metal :).
I definately like it though, and it'll be even more appreciated once I need to start bussing it to work and back every day.

Currently on my 1Gb memory stick, I have the full version of Anchorman (not the entire DVD, just the movie) which takes up 411Mb, then 83 MP3s taking up a whopping 482Mb, then a load of game saves and photos. I still have 27Mb free too.

Ok, cheers :-)
Sounds pretty good. I take it you're chuffed with yours?

Twisted Metal has been replaced in the UK by Fired Up - it's the same kind of game and still allows you to play online.
