Well, it would seem that I am really stupid for raising a thread from the dead, but I felt I needed to bring this to light: http://www.pspfanboy.com/2006/07/12/...led-at-target/ |

I have a mom and pop store near me selling all their PSPs for $100, I'm gonna buy two and take advantage of their other liquidation prices. They're also selling a sweet Virtual Boy and a Mini-Disc Recorder, (hehe). |

You guys are forgetting one important fact, which is that I already bought a PSP and I don't have any money to buy anything else, nor do I have the tolerance to hear that I'm shithead who wasted his money on a system I really enjoy. Kinda trumps all of your opinions... |

| pjalne | I still have no idea why anybody would want to watch movies on that thing. Most TV shows I could get, but come on, most movies released on that format aren't supposed to be just observed, you're supposed to experience them. I can't even watch a movie on a 17-incher. | |

| Dr. Boogie | The thing that really left me confused about the DS is that it can't play Gamboy games. GBA games, no problem, but apparently there was something about those old games that just didn't click right. | |

I just thing the PSP got into a rut that I really was hoping it wouldn't. Too many developers try to make PS2-lite versions of their games, completely ignoring the differences in functionality. Biggest one being there's only one analog stick/nubby. But that's the same way the DS started out, with just cheap name cash-ins with some bare-bones DS gimmick attached. I'm STILL not convinced there's enough games out there using the DS well. I'd like to see developers put more effort into their games, because putting a PS2 game on the PSP really isn't much different than putting Gamecube game on the GBA. |

| Chojin | I was in the PSP's court when it was released and all shiny and pretty and the DS still had games that revolved entirely around you yelling at the console, but the DS has since really come into its own as a useful device and if I were going to buy a handheld it'd have to be DS all the way am i right guys | |

| Fathom Zero | I guess I'm just a more cinematic kind of guy, I dunno. | |

That, and I haven't seen any games that really spark my interest on the system that lived up to the hype. Metal Gear AC!D and Death Jr. aren't that great, and those are the only real reasons I would want the PSP. That and Katamari, but I'm not buying a handheld for one game. |

| Fathom Zero | I completely agree with you. | |

The only UMD movie I have is Batman that movie and it is great. I only got my PSP for the music and games. as long as I got those things going for me I'm fine.. |

I bought it because it is a universal media device. I put everything on it, Emulators, Movies, Music, etc. Extremely user friendly. At least I can safely say that it trumps the DS, at least in terms of visuals. But damn, I can't get enough of my friend's Mario Kart DS. |

| Immortal Goat | No, you can't, but another thing that was not mentioned yet is that UMD sales are dissapointing, and yet there have been more UMD movies sold than PSP games. :/ | |

I like how they're trying to figure out how to connect UMDs to TVs, though. I think the special features on some of the UMDs are alright. The new Troma UMDs have some cool extras. Like the commentaries and the featurettes. Am I the only one not giving up hope here? I hope that there will be more 3rd Party support for the UMDs, like Troma. Besides, you can't play games on a Portable DVD player. |

| Immortal Goat | I kinda saw this coming, though. DVDs are cheaper, and you can grab a decent portable DVD player for way cheaper than a PSP. Especially since the special features on DVDs completely trumps anything that you can find on a UMD disc. | |

Hmmmm... I and all of my friends buy tons of UMDs. And if Troma started to make them, it's good enough for me. I guess when everyone starts trading in all of their UMDs because of some new media for PSP, we'll grab 'em all at rock-bottom prices. Too bad, though. It seemed like a really good idea to me. |

It's been talked about for a while. It really was a good idea, but UMD movies were not cost-effective to the studios or the consumer. However, if they made a UMD home player, it might make the format more worthwhile. But then you have HD-DVD and Blu-Ray coming out, and there's just an oversaturation of formats. Not to mention that the studios haven't been very smart with what movies should be on UMD. It really would be best to put an end to the UMD movies, and just sticking with selling the PC software that makes it easy for Average Joe to transfer his movies onto a memory stick. |
