Here are some games and stuff. It has some nice info on it.

Here is a faq on IGN-

http//psp.ign.com/articles/513/513175p1.html#specs

I've heard these things can pick up wireless network connections(like from your house or an airport) and play online against someone across the world. And it can also identify other PSP's in the area and link with them like the Nintendo DS.

These things have smooth nice graphics and polygons, by far the best so far out of any handheld.

Even if you aren't a gamer they are awesome to have. You can put movies on them-

And they can hold pictures on them and audio(they can take the MP3 format).

All I can say is I can wait to get this thing! This is 100 times better than the DS.

If you have anything else to add, feel free. Have I convinced anyone to sign up yet? lol

This is exciting.

The PSP will smash the DS.

Yeah it will. By the way, I did the stamps offer for you. I should go green in a few days.

yeah, Nintendo really screwed up with the DS. By the way - Gratis isn't providing memory sticks, one is included with the system. We are getting some kind of 'value bundle' that includes some stuff. Anyone got the info on what exactly is included?

Tha value bundle includes a memory stick as well as some other useful accesories. Anyone care to elaborate?

I don't think that we get the games either, just a non-playable demo CD. And possibly a UMD of spiderman 2 the movie

Ok, I'll put it at the top. Is this imported? Does it matter if it's imported?

From psp.ign.com FAQ

The North American PSP Package includes the PSP hardware, the AC adapter, one battery pack (1800mAh), a Memory Stick Duo unit (32MB, standard Duo but not PRO Duo rated), PSP earbud headphones with Remote Control, PSP soft case with hand strap, a cleaning cloth, and a UMD sampler disc with non-interactive demos featuring music, movie and game content. The North American release also included a limited give-away of a UMD Movie version of the feature film Spider-Man 2 for the first one million PSP buyers.

MAN I hope we get the Spidey2 with the Gratis Preorder batch.

That would be nice. I don't think we are getting value packs though. cry

we are

[quoteb85c9f167b="kaymin"]we are[/quoteb85c9f167b]

Oh cool. That would be cool to have Spiderman on the PSP.

its only for the first 1 million psps thought but thats ok!

its only for the first 1 million psps thought but thats ok!

yeah, sony is only offering value packs in the U.S.

So the PSPs we are getting are imported?

no

The PSPs are "PREORDERED" from America, which means that when they go on sale, they'll get shipped to you. And YES, we will be getting Spider Man 2 if you're in the preorder batch, because the first batch of PSPs coming over here is only 1 million. Everyone who preordered gets Spidey. At least that's what I've heard.

theres 2 million psps comming here, they delayed the European delay so they could release an extra million in the US.

NICE Kaymin ).

i know! I LOVE PSP but hate ps2 lol!!

Just requested approval - this will be my first portable gaming system since the ORIGINAL Gameboy in 1989.

BudScox, that's cool. I've got (passed down to me, my family's, and mine) the ORIGINAL 1989 GameBoy (yes, just like you BudScox), a Game Boy Color, a Game Boy Advance (the normal one), and I just went STV for a Nintendo DS (for ds4free). My PSP should be all green by the end of the week!!

I still play my original Game Boy. Nothing like shades of green games!

does the psp really come witha 1.8 gig hard drive?

NOPE. Sony's thinking of making it a crazy multimedia machine, with a 50GB hard drive being announced in May. Imagine something bigger though, I guess around the thickness of the Creative Zen Portable Media Center (which is quite large).

the 1,8gb harddrive is the umd discs
