I just saw that http://www.liksang.com are selling the psp for £150. They are the sexyest looking things ever, and are like having a ps2 in your hands! I really want one, but can't afford it just now. I'm sure curly said he got his for £240 odd, so I was happy to see it for £150.

the price does seem to have dropped.  i paid £195 so i'm not to fussed. 

the psp is the best thing i have ever bought with it i have saved countless hours of anime/tv watching an manga reading.  watching stuff at work is the best thing ever and the games are pretty good too, ridge racer is gorgeous.

not just tv...divx matey.

what you talking about? psp or gizmondo?? I think, overall the gizmondo does more. It's got gps, gprs (not sure on the exact difference, too lazy to google it) so you can download maps (like in a car gps system), games, video, music.

PSP does more or less the same (no gps as far as I know), only it's more or less a PS2 in your hands.

...and now i have it!
It fookin rocks tbh. Its like a small laptop ffs.
I sat in Starbucks this morning and connected to thier wireless network whilst watching a music vid!
Setting up a nice new pop3 account today for it.

The games are a bit pants, but then thats not what i bought it for. Freecell, asteriods and tetris is good enough for me!
Besides, i could fit 55 full near-dvd quality movies on it to keep me entertained anyway...
yum

do not buy the gizmondo....

 if use dont listen to anything else i say, then listen to this just, my lecturer worked for warthog games. they got bought over by gizmondo, and so he has alot of contacts there, and so he set us a project to design a game for it, ok the psp can render 30,000 poly's on screen at any time, where the good ol' gizmondo can do just 3000 poly's,

all in all its basically an over glorified fone, its not really worth it, psp is a must have, the screen on the psp is a new kinda screen technology not used b4, so that everything looks crisp and sharp, and if u think it looks sexy wait till use see the white one, omg its a beaut!

 

ps. wipeout and dynasty warriors are 2 of the best games i pld on it u can get psp in most indy game stores for around £200 but they normally us import which is ok as they scrapped the region crap on them,the official release date i think is sept first.

What exactly can the PSP do? They have a bunch of them here in Bahrain (not sold out yet) and I have a 512Mb Memory Stick for my camera anyway - are they compatible? And what else can it do anyway? Other than games (d'uh).

?
