    Default To PSP or not to PSP.... that.... is the question...

    If you haven't worked it out yet, i'm thinking of getting a PSP.

    I travel an hour to and from work in the city on the train and music is starting to get abit old...

    So i have been looking around at the PSP Slim.

    For $325 i can get the console brand new, cracked for burnt games plus 10 games.

    Normal store retail is about $279 odd...

    But, i have found that i can find as many pros and cons for getting it...

    What do people think of it etc etc...

    I've got one and I'd say no, except for the fact you travel an hour a day. Get yourself a 4GB card for it and load it with movies. The only benefit of having one is that it's mobile, if you don't have that need a ps3 is a lot better or xbox 360. Only big problem is the screen is not great for daylight. In the sun it's hard to see.

    300bucks is nothing and if you travel every workday then go for it. i have a psp and i dont use it much due to i have ps3 now but if i travel is sweet. even just for movies if not games.
    no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone

    get one i say. i used to travel further then that to and from work so i know the monotony of it. Put porn on it and then let some hot chick get glimpses of it and watch her reaction, you may be suprised. I'm thinking of getting one for work myself.

    Haha good priorities.

    I used to have an ipod for that reason, traveling to and from the city was a bore. if youve got the money for the PSP id go for it.

    RIGHT, got it! lol
    classic!

    i think the PSP is a bit underated, i like 'em, but for the most part people go with a DS instead. id get it man, you can do so much more with them than a DS and there's some decent "adult" games on it too (mmm, god of war: chains of atlantis commin soon....), in comparison to a DS which really only has kids games. not too mention the movies and music you can put on it.

    haha just watch she isn't under 18 or you get busted up big time for showing porn to a minor.
    I reckon get one. I used to share travel 2.5 hours a day for work and the days i wasn't driving were so boring something like that would have been good.
