Considering getting one of these. Who has one? And are you happy with it? Would you buy it again?

its cool, I never play it. Not to many games for it. so it sits collecting dust.
I will return one day.
it's cool...
65% of the time is used watching videos.. so i'd suggest to get a large memory stick also. for an on-the-go type person, i watch anime or movies on the shuttle bus, or play music videos in the celi.
the other 35% is spent on RSS audio (wireless streaming audio), browsing 6gc in bed early in the morning,
... and of course, playing games..
if you find one with firmware v1.5 you can play emulators from other systems (SNES, GBA, SEGA, etc..) as well as other homebrew software (check out http://pspupdates.qj.net/ for more info. but after an update, you'd lose that capability but you'd be able to browse the net, listen to RSS audio, share pics through wifi, change your wallpaper and much more..
-if i were you though, i'd get mine from eBay than buy them new. and try to get those package deals that come with 1gb+ memory sticks with game/movie bundles.
anyway.... all in all, to me it was money well spent!

can you still flash the firmware back to 1.5 if yours came with higher firmware out of the box?

i gots one...mine came w/ 1.5 firmware - but i was an idiot and updated it .. because i really wanted the web-browser and stuff. Now i have tara reid as my psp wallpaper... so it's all good. I recommend one - they're really fun 
they have programs now (i think) where if you have a v1.52 or v.2.0 that you can use homebrew apps in conjuction with those versions... i'm not too sure on details.. just heard rumors being spread about this.
some people have come across 'fake' programs that returns your updated PSP back to 1.50 but ended up killing the firmware.. so it basically doesn't operate anymore and turns your PSP to a 'brick' or so they call it..
anyway, i prefer the update than the older version anyway.. i got bored playing those SNES games.. i would rather be able to listen to streaming audio and browse the net.
plus i get to have this pic as my PSPs wallpaper:

Well, Art showed me this Creative Zen Vision portable multimedia thing that plays MP3s, vids, and what not with a 30gb HD (something that PSP seriously is in need of), so I am torn between the two. theres a $100 difference in the 2.
MyFlickrMyeBay_Perpetual Aperture_
since your not really a gamer, and the psp games suck, i would just go for the creative player

im gettin one but my buddy has one. Ive played a few games for it, some of them r amazingly good, some suck a$$. THUG 2 Remix is pretty good, grand theft auto is sick 2. But yea, its good for movies and music. My buddy has a 1GB memory card and he downloads some tv shows n all of his music onto it and watches it in class.
I want to get one they have recently come down in price there is alot of competition hopefully if I get this job I went for an interview for I will get one.

I had a psp, actually returned it cause i never used it. I would by an IPOD video instead since you can watch movies and **** on it. its alot easier to carry too.

Apple/iTunes/iPods suck(s)... Creative Zen Vision is the best for the money in my opinion. iPods are for people that must have exactly what everyone else has... It's unfortunate that so many people assume the iPods are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

i may be biased but nothing beats watching movies on the PSPs widescreen...

yeah i kind of hate apple as a company . id buy the creative one too. just go find a store that has it on display so that you can play around with it 1st.
azian... i wish they had them hooked up and ready to demo, like they do with gameboys. ive yet to see or hold a psp in person .

I do about 70K miles a year in the air. Yes, I have a PSP. I live on the thing.
JDM ST205Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying.
i have a psp, the beginning months sucked, no new games came out but i guess theres more now, its cool and looks great, u gotta be careful with the games since a square is open and if u scratch it ur screwed, i played it like crazy way back when but it collects dust now, u can upgrade the cards so i mean u can have as much mem as u want, a gig stick is enough for movies so i dont think u need to much, u can do a lot, u can hack windows media player on it (idk if thats a reg thing now) but yea its worth it, its a way better screen than the vision to
you can only have as much memory as they make on a card tho. A gig might be teh biggest card right now and most movies are 700-800mb.

Hey yeh PSP is awesome. Best games out there are Hot Shots Golf, Burnout, Lumines, and of course Untold Legends. When you get one make sure if it doesn't allready have it, use someones game (I used NFS MW) to get the 2.0 update so you can use your internet and what not.

you know that commercial where theyre tossing it around? you know why? because it has a lasting appeal of 2 seconds before you want to get rid of it na, actually its pretty cool. i wouldnt buy one though for gaming specifically, however, the other features are nice.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
how long do the batteries last on a single charge?

I like that Zen. one of my friends has one. I like the Ipod a little better because it can play videos on it not to mention I have to use macs all day in my graphic design classes. Besides, you ahve to install this software and stuff to use creative labs things in order to use it as a hard drive. That is prolly why i would favor the Ipod more is because it is plug in and use on almost any system. I dont have either tho, actually. By the way, the PSP has a battery life of about 3 hours on average. but it depends on how you are using it.

I still like the vision though... since it has 7 times the capacity of the PSP with the 4GB HD.

Yeah I've seen that HD, makes the thing huge, and then $200 for a friggin memory stick? Thats ridiculous.
Im opting for the Creative Zen Vision. I dont think I'd play the games much, and UMDs arent recordable so I'd have to re-buy alot of my favorite movies. With the Vision, and its 30gb HD, I can rip dvds and convert them, and have a bunch to select from, along with MP3s, organizer, and what not for $400, just seems like a better setup for what I want.
