Default FAO: Any Techno Donkeys - Just had delivered my Sony PSP

These really are the ultimate in hand held gaming.

For once...... it's lived up to it's hype!

The games are unreal for a handheld, with graphics on par with a PS2.

The graphic quality is UNREAL!

I've always been Nintendo with the handhelds, but this thing blows the Nintendo DS out of the water.

I might put mine on ebay yet.... for a seriously high figure!

I paid WAY over the odd's but you know what it's like when you have to have something!

I paid £460 with 2 games! Thats about £180 more than what it would cost on the March release.

Yeah but I'd still rather go for the DS...... I trust Nintendo with these things and to me the DS pisses on the PSP

Have they sorted out PSP's 2 hour battery lifespan for the release then?

I switched it on at 7.30am this morning when unwrapping it. Played non-stop till posting this up and it had 30mins left on the battery. This was only on a 75% charged battery as it came out of the box. So I would suggest that the rumoured battery issue is not all that.

I personally think Nintendo may of had their day tbh.

Everything thought the big N and Sega had the console market stiched up until Sony released the PS..... and even then they thought it would never last. lol

I'm no Sony/PS fanatic by any stretch of the imagination, just facing a possible fact.

£315.00 Plus P&P and dont forget this is shipping from HK not UK.

PLUS the customs and excise you get stung for when it comes in as well!

Happy Days.

I have one here you can have tomorrow for £600

Anybody remeber the Atari Lynx or the Sega Game Gear?

Both of these were better than the GameBoy of the time yet neither sold as well.

I will be getting one of these PSP's as soon as I can mind
