PSP
I bought a PSP shortly after they came out, I personally love it. There is a hell of alot you can do with it, especially if you don't update it to 2.0 because then you can run homebrew apps like Sega emu's and such. Anyone else have one? And what do you guys think about it?

I tried PSP at a friends place, looked neat and soft movements... However he said v2 had a lot of restricitions like not being able to use all his pirate software on it...

Am i the only person who, when seeing the acronym 'PSP', still thinks 'Paint Shop Pro'?

Nope, I'm one of those too. Originally Posted by PsypherPunk

I'm not generally a fan of "all-in-one" devices. If I want a good portable game player I'll play my Gameboy or DS. If I want a good portable music player, I'll use my iPod Nano. I don't want to watch movies on the road, so that feature is useless to me, even in the new iPods. But to each their own. Registered Linux user #270181

I'm with you on this one. Originally Posted by techieMoe Nope, I'm one of those too. Originally Posted by PsypherPunk As for the PSP, it's not something I'm interested in. My biggest complaints are:

use an mp3 player for music
a gameboy for portable gaming (even though I'm not a huge fan of that either)
and a small handheld videoplayer for playing videos.
because if you try and mix a bunch of things into one. You get a device that can do a bunch of things, but only half-way.

somebody said that a lot of these devices try to do too much. I agree. Like with the iPod Nanos, I think techieMoe said this, why do you want to watch movies on the tiny little screen on the iPod? I have to wonder how good the quality of the picture will be, too.
