Who Is Buying A Psp

[Asura]

Just asking, who here is buying a PSP tomorrow night/Thursday, where are you getting it, and what are you getting with it?

Personally I'm buying my PSP and Wipeout Pure from Gamestation at the midnight launch for £199.99. I'm also going to get Lumines with it, and if I have the cash, Darkstalkers. I've already bought a Logitech Playgear Pocket hardcase for it, as I was worried places might sell out of some accessories, and it seems like the best case.

Feel free to post if you already have one and have something to say, but try not to just post "I already have mine from the jap launch, I'm 1337er like that"; I've had enough of gaming snobbery from the other thread

I'm also getting one from gamestation with Ridge Racers and Everybody's Golf but I don't know what the total price will be. Somewhere in the region of £230 - 250 I suppose. If they have hard cases I'll consider one but that Logitech one looks superb.

[errollw]

I'll get one, but I'm disgusted at the price. If I can, I'll try and get an overseas one or a good second hand one.

[tiedtiger]

I'm mulling it.

Which means no, but I'll ogle shop windows a bit come Saturday.

I'm picking one up on thursday from game along with Mercury and Virtua Tennis. Already have a playgear case and speakers bought in case they sell out. Bloody things are making the wait harder though.

It'll be £230 with those 2 games. GS have an offer on for £230 with any 2 games. It's also 200 with the machine and a copy of one of RR, Medievil or Pure. Basically you don't save much in the 2 game offer, unless you want 2 games and neither of them are of those three.

While I'm at it, for £209.99 you get the machine, a game, and a £15 accessory pack that comes with UMD cases, screen defenders, and a few other bits and bobs.

Girls will no longer wish to sit near me on the Underground now that EVERYONE will have one. BOOOOOOOO.

[El Pibe]

Not me. I kinda fancy one but, right now, I have more important things to spend all that money on. Will pick one up when the price tumbles and there are a healthy number of games available on the cheap.

I'm torn about getting one. I don't really know what to do. The PSP Value Pack is €270, but Game Stop are doing a bundle with PSP Value Pack, any game (which all seem to cost €45) and their own accessory pack for €299. But I'm also thinking of waiting a while. It would probably be the better option.

[Treble]

Don't buy Darkstalkers on PSP, Asura. The hardware simply doesn't lend itself to fast-paced 2D fighters.

[NonShinyGoose]

I'm going to get the GS combo pack (PSP, any game and an accessory pack) for £210 and buy Lumines. I was going to get Fired Up but having watched a video I've decided against it.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Already got one, but I'm still excited with Virtua Tennis set to arrive on my doormat early next week or so, and Burnout Legends firmly on the near horizon.

[havoc1976]

me I'm getting the value pack and rr from gamestation. already have lumines and pure from trading folder. should be 230.00 in total. will i make it through croydon at midnight with all this is another story.

[suzakuseven]

I'll be getting Everybody's Golf, Ridge and Darkstalkers. Possibly that Logitech case as well, we'll see how it goes. Still wondering whether to just upgrade to 2.0 firmware as I never use emulators or anything on it...

[Hello Goaty ♥]

The Aluminium cases provide the best protection.

remember this.

They may not look the part, but my PSP is as good as the day I got it in March.

So is mine, but I just kept it in the pouch from the US valuepack.

[suzakuseven]

I reckon I'll get one of these:

It's polycarbonate plastic (which is pretty tough) and more importantly has the right holes for headphones and trigger buttons so I don't need to take it out of the case whenever I use it (I use mine as an MP3 player a lot)

[Asura]

I have that one, £15 and it's really good.

[Looper]

Of the launch games I'd can recommend through experience; Everybodys Golf, Lumines and Wipeout. Especially Everybodys Golf - I haven't read a book in six weeks... Can't. Stop. Playing. It!

I have one of those aluminum hard cases (bought for me as a present from my Mum of all people) but haven't once used it out. It's too precious looking. The sleeve thing you get with it is absolutely fine.

[snk]

I got one at Jap launch with Lumines and Ridge. Which I sold soon after.

I regretted it and bought one at US launch. I now have Ridge, Hotshots, Lumines, Puzzle Bobble and just got Virtua Tennis.

I am a bit jealous of you lot getting one for the first time.

It must be dead exciting and no I am not taking the piss.

.::: No, no, no. The best part about it, is being able to skin it.

I promised myself I would wait a while before picking up a PSP, I really haven't got any spare money at the moment either but as the day draws nearer I find I have an uncontrollable urge to sell a shed load of games so I can buy one.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

By the way, make sure you get some tissues or toiletpaper ready when unpacking the box.

When unpacking I creamed myself, and I almost used the value pack wiping cloth to clean my special area, potentially causing lots of pearly white giblets on that delicious screen on the next rub-over.

In Woolies today I noticed that with the purchase of any PSP game (not console) you could buy a half-price 512Mb Sandisk memory card. That made the memory card £29.99 which I think is pretty good.

I feel one of these cards is almost vital to get the best out of your new console.

Oh. My. God. Never knew that, definately getting one now! Do you perchance have athose Ico skins as a template?

[amc]

I've had one since the usa launch and would heartily endorse wipeout pure, lumines(best puzzle game ever) and hotshots golf.Although I have most of the available psp game to date those are my top 3.

Wipeout pure is utter class and works superbly on the psp.

Ridge aint bad either.

[rylee]

I'll be rolling up tomorrow morning to pick up my pre-order, which will then save me a few dollars across games and accessories. I'm certainly getting Pure, Ridge & Lumines - then will have a look at a few others, incl: Mercury and TOCA (Supercars).

I just hope I get a unit with no pixel/button problems etc. - I'd hate that.

Don't say that! Guilty Gear PSP is out in Japan soon!
