So i got a PSP

[7th_Sephiroth]

its a fairly good system, great game graphics, and the movies are clear for the size

1. My brother bought one last week ...

IMHO it has a really high "wow" factor, but I can't see spending that much money on it myself ... maybe if I were 20 years younger.

One warning ... Lumines is like crack. I played it for like 3 hours straight. It was terrific game play and a really groovy techno soundtrack. If Sony had been smarter, they would have bundled that game with the system.

2. they bundeled in spiderman 2

i bought tony hawk underground 2, kill bill and house of flying daggers

4. He wasn't able to find one of those bundles

:(

He did buy the Twisted Metal game, too, though. While the graphics were pretty cool, I thought the overal execution left a lot to be desired. I had trouble because, IMHO, the game was too dark and a lot of the details too small (like the little targetting triangles that locate your enemies) for such a small screen. :shrug: Of course, the flip side would be that enlarged images mean less of the playing field is visible.

3. How do you feel about the location of the analog stick ?

going into "matrix" mode in thug2

6. also let me dispel some myths

Long Load times: nope, tony hawk under ground 2 remix, wich because of its extensive graphic use loads forever on a PS2 the loading time is cut in half, the game is larger, with the same # of music tracks (if anyone knows how to move the soundtrack from that game into the MP3 section, tell me)
Blurry screen: Not at all, its a mini LCD screen, verry good definition
Sucky audio: the audio isint THAT bad, but if your gonna watch a movie, put in the head phones, the tiny speakers arent good for kill bill or house of flying daggers

7. Battery life ?

9. takes a couple hours to charge

but will last a good 8 or so hours

8. Sound is kinda sucky on the bass end

On Twisted Metal the explosions are really distorted ... but the techno soundtrack on Lumines came through really nicely.

The graphics ... well, WOW!

10. Sounds like I'll have to pick one up

maybe in a few months
