Does anyone here have a PSP? I've been thinking of picking one up, but am not sure if its worth it. I know the PSP can pplay movies, games, and has access to the internet.

Do you want it for the games or the movies primarily?

My friend bought one a while back. He used it for a bit, but it's been sitting on his table for about a month now, unused.

I would use it for both but primary for movies right now if I get one....

well it's a good little device I suppose, but the DS has funner games. Another draw back is that the movies for the PSP will get very expensive.

Think about how many times you watch a movie and then imagine spending $17.00 bucks per UMD; it's an investment if you want to play movies on it, you better have a steady disposable income to keep a movie habit going on that thing. Personally I'm waiting out for this,

You're right Yggdrasil, I have yet to see a touch screen that you actually touch the screen of. Usually you'll be using a plastic pencil looking thing when dealing with touch screens.

But why would you care about this thing when the v43 is coming out in a month or so?
