I just got it, the only game I got was Tony Hawk. It is incredible. The graphics are mind boggling.

I am thinking about picking up Untold Legends, it's a diablo type RPG. Does anyone else have it and if so, is it worth the $40.00?

I'm curious where will you use this? (seriously). Do you have a long bus ride to work/school or something?

In a grocery cart silly. Didn't you see the commercial?

It looks cool and if I did a bus commute or anything long term out of my house, I'd consider it.

Right now when I leave my house I'm accompanied by a woman who would beat on me if I brought a mini game device.

I have a GBA that I never use that is cool enough.

Yeah I have my PSTWO and I still mostly game on my PC. I also have a laptop which I can use for games. It looks pretty cool but I know I'd only use it once every few months to play games during a long drive or something.

So you dig it eh Ginz? What's so cool about it man?

I'm waiting for my PSP to come in. I also ordered Untold Legends and will give you my thoughts on it when I get it.

I thought about this question long and hard before I bit the bullet and dropped the many hundereds of dollars on the system and the games.

Like an MP3 player, you'd be surprised how often you use it.

My job can get pretty hectic and I look forward to my hour lunchbreak. When it is warm out I usually eat my lunch at a park down the street from where I work. I will play PSP there.

I am in a very large raid guild in WoW and as most of you know, set up can take a very long time. Waiting for people, summoning etc. So I play while we are waiting to get people situated at a raid, as I am usually the one of the first ones there.

Most people read a few chapters of a book or watch TV before they go to bed, I play an hour of PSP.

Also, for some reason I have become the designated air port driver. I'd say once or twice a month I am waiting for someone to get off a plane at one of the New York airports so there I'll be playing PSP.

Handheld gaming systems have always appealed to me more than a regular console system. I don't know why. So whenever you would get the chance to play a console system, just substitue that time with a PSP.

The games that are coming out for it appeal to me as well:

I have:

Tony Hawk
Untold Legends

Both are awesome. Untold Legends is incredible in my opinion.

I am very looking forward to:

MLB 2005
Gran Turismo 4
Grand Theft Auto
Tiger Woods
Prince of Persia

I am sure they will put out the Final Fanatasy title as well as some other really cool games.

I haven't used the MP3 player yet, I have an MP3 player that is small and holds more songs so I will rarely (if ever) use the MP3 player in the PSP. I will rarely (if ever) use the PSP to watch movies. I got the spider man 2 movie with the system, however it's tough for the PSP to compete with a regular old DVD in the movie category. If I am on a plane and want to watch a movie, I will just use my laptop.

The PSP graphics are incredible.

I am very happy with the purchase.

I hear rumors of people getting a lot of dead pixels. It has become so frequent sony has had to release an official statement saying, "unless you have "this many" dead pixels, don't call us".

I have yet to have any problems with my PSP, however if I were you I'd wait a couple months to pick one up just to be safe.

Hah, Aryylas brings his handheld on car rides. Its fun when I am lost in Boston and I hear Mario music playing happily from the passenger seat.

I get noxious when I play a portable game system in a car.

I'm usually always the one who drives anyway.

Mart, what does it take to graduate to full moderator status?

Well then, you better get to work mini-moderator.

Do you even know what I chuckled at or are you lashing out without a clue?

Yeah, I couldn't decide whether he gets toxic, forgot the ob(noxious), or simply mispelled nauseous. Then I decided it was probably all three, chuckled and moved on.


He's proved I was at least partially right by his reaction. :)

Wasnt the yellow spider in SolB (?) called the noxious spider? Thats what I thought when I read it.

So when do we get to the moving on part?

Good to see that you brought your shitty attitude to an otherwise innocent thread. It's fairy evident why you can't even make full blown moderator status on an internet message board.

Oh and...you seemed to have misspelled "mispelled".

Thanks for the chuckle.

Actually, you are wrong, it is spelled with 2 esses.

Dang, if you can't stand a little twitting about something so minor. no wonder you couldn't cut it as a mod and stepped down.

lol couldn't cut it. Like being a MB moderator is akin to Navy Seal training.

How about "have better things to do with my free time".

From 1-10 on the pathetic scale you score slightly higher than Gary Coleman's stint in mall security.

And I have no idea what this means:

it is spelled with 2 esses.


Guess it's your far superior intellect.

And Mart...do you own a PSP? Are you interested in a PSP? Did you come to this thread to post anything productive or are you here to accept your prick of the month award...

...again.

LOL...don't try and change history.

You got into a pissing contest. lost, and went off crying and turning in your mod status. As I recall you were never gonna post here again.

Now where's my damn award?

Actually, you're wrong.

I'm sure Vonkaar has saved the PM when I gave up my mod status, as I was surely not ASKED to step down by anyone but gave it up out of my own free will, ask him to post it.

So I guess trolling is ok for mod's now. Thanks for disrupting a decent thread.

You can come get your reward at any time, although I think that means you MIGHT have to leave your trailer. I'm not certain on that though, I will check into it and get back to you.

Ok back to PSP.

Does anyone else have it besides myself?

If so, list the games you have.

Does anyone have Soccer, Rally Racing, Wipeout or Wayne Gretsky?

I'm interested in Wipeout because I have always been a fan but something tells me the price is going to drop to $19.99 in a month or two.
