I decided not to get a PSP and spend the money on a nice HD-TV..so I cancel my PSP and guess what? The TV is delayed by 6 weeks, so I've phoned Argos and Toys R Us who will have some on a first come first served basis..guess I'm going to be legging it down to the retail park tomorrow then. Bah..bloody gaming..

To be pedantic and correct you, the old-er Staffies loved handing out. When KT seemed to be the top-dog and odie was around (maybe he still is?) warnings were handed out left, right and centre.

Now that spark-plug Steve has taken over he can't seem to hand them out, as though he is afraid of being hax0red on his SR account or perhaps cyber date-raped by an eleven-year old ...

I'm not being funny with you, just that I don't approve of illegal games, what you do is your business but I'm just trying to save you a warning, which the staffies love handing out :P

People got banned from this site for posting too many links to competitors, so believe me kugkv you would get banned.

Mind you, that was before the Staffies were taken over by the biggest "nancy" in the entire SR chain :p

Because if you read the rules discussing illegal games isn't allowed here and you aint the brightest spark by admitting it. It's just wrong.

It may be illegal to do that, but why would I get banned from this site for it?

I'll download or get the games on my mem stick that I wouldnt particularly buy, play them for a bit and probably never play again. Like V Tennis, Spiderman, Mercury, Twisted Metal etc etc.

Games like Pro Evo, GTA and the new WWE Smackdown game, i'll buy and keep the UMDs of, because I do actually want them and i'll play them for ages.

The graphics and Processors are vastly outdated?

Show me another handheld that can produce the level of quality the PSP does.

£194 seems a little excessive for a handheld console, I do have the money stashed away in my bank account (as an accumulation of my jobs earnings throughout the year)

My Xbox was actually less than that when it game in a five game bundle with controllers (I know what some of you "fanboy" types are thinking - that's because it's no good ... well hur hur hur) And when I bought a Gameboy Colour (my only handheld) I got it for the equivalent of £80 with Pokemon Yellow.

It just seems excessive because although the graphics and processors are vastly updated it seems to be more of a "fashion statement" for many people (buying one to socialise) don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're buying it for that reason, but to me handheld is handheld and being able to play games on a Gameboy and Phone is enough for me.

The games are now superior so they've decided to up the pricings, they now retail at about £30-40 rather than the £20 or so which seemed very reasonable for the Gameboy cartridges. Consider the manufacturing costs aren't exactly any higher to create these new discs, why are the games so much?

Um..because it's illegal. Seriously though, why bother? You are just helping to cripple the industry, I find it annoying because I'll be going into it within 4-5 years once my degree is over. If you can afford the system surely you can afford the games.
