- What do you need to play Wipout Pure online? It says something about WiFi but im not sure how it works.
- I ordered a USB cable that (apparently) charges the PSP aswell as transfers data, can it really charge the PSP or is the guy off Ebay just lying?
- I only have Wipeout Pure and although it's an excellent game I feel im going to get bored of it soon, what other games would you recommend? (Not Lumines, I dont really like them types of games)
Erm...I actually had loads of questions I needed to ask but i've forgotten them now. Oh yeah, are there any good games coming out soon?
I think I might sell my PS2 now, haven't played it 'properly' since Christmas and I could do with the money.

It's not playable online. You can download expansion packs via wi-fi, which pretty much means it'll connect to your wireless router. If you don't have wi-fi, you can download them from wipeoutpure.com (choose the US section as the Euro one isn't fully working yet, obviously).

Not sure on that one. It may have a splitter so one part goes in the USB slot and the other in the charger port. Couldn't confirm or deny it though.

Er, Lumines? No, it really is ana bsolutely exceptional game. Ok, still not convinced? I can vouch for Ridge Racer and Hot Shots Golf being worth every penny. Untold Legends is great, just a little easy. Dynasty Warriors is good but gets boring as quickly as the originals. Lumines is notoriously addictive and worth every penny, MGA is awful and Twisted Metal is only decent when played online, but the lag can be rather horrendous at times - which is understandable since we're across the pond from everyone else. I've heard Dead to Rights is very good, only let down by a dumb camera. Rengoku is supposed to be worth a look. Did I mention Lumines?

Midnight Club DUB, GTA and GT4 are the only ones on my radar. No doubt there will be others worth watching out for. I regularly go to psp.ign.com as it seems to be up to speed on what's going on.

It's your choice, but I didn't hesitate at all to get rid of mine. No regrets either - it just wasn't worth keeping. Just look at the release calendar and decide if there's something you want to wait for, otherwise just offload it and put the money to better use.
