Sony PSP....

I am actively staying away from the PSP, because I do not need a PORTABLE Gran Turismo that can make me ignore my job like GT4 makes me ignore my family

 

I'm going to wait until the price drops. psp is going to be so much better than the ds its not funny.

 

this is why I'm worried about the PSP.
- if I get it, I can leave the house and play Gran Turismo!
- if I get it, will I need to plug in a wheel, or can I plug it into the dash of my S2000 and use my own wheel & pedals?
- if I get it, will I ever notice anyone else before me, even if it is a stripper trying to get 20 for a lap dance? oh wait... nevermind, I'm not that addicted.

 

You'll love it..I promise! There are these great little surround sound speakers that you can purchase that make all the difference.

 

I am the retail merchandise planning dominatrix for Blockbuster, Inc. We will have an assortment of all available titles in the Game Rush stores (15 last I checked).

 

What's Game Rush? A Blockbuster owned franchise in Australia? or other parts of the US? Or is that the nickname for the video game area inside a Blockbuster store?

 

Almost 500 of the 4800 domestic BB stores nationwide are Game Rush stores - not a nickname, a unique full-size game store within a BB store....carries the widest assortment of triple A game titles and specialty accessories in addition to the run of the mill stuff. Also offers trading programs for software, accessories and hardware. We also own a similar concept in the UK called Gamestation.

 

Are there none here in DFW, or am I crazy? (Don't answer that. )

 

Nice little handheld. I really like th*battery dies*

 

Not really. I just crack a big whip.

I'd say too early to tell...wait to see what the sell-thru volume is for the first few months. Pretty steep price point for a handheld. If you decide to pull the trigger, speed to market will be critical for holiday. Pretty steep price point for a handheld.

 

You so crazy, Dave-san.

Many locations in the DFW area. Check out www.gamerush.com and put in your zip code for the nearest location to you.

 

No Bluetooth with PSP only DS. PSP has wireless lan.

 

I LOVE WIRELESS CRAP..............

 

I wont be getting the PSP when it first releases...new models tend to have defects with it...such as the sensitive screen and the media cover, it tends to get loose at time...Hopefully, I'll get one a few months after it comes out.

 

PSP is dope

If you guys like gaming, PSP is the ****! My friend bought the Japanese version 2 months ago and I played it. It's awesome. Great graffics, great size, makes the nintendo DS look like a Yugo compared to an Fcar.
A must buy

 

Wow Frances, you really make that title sound sexy.

 

Does anyone know if has an Video/audio output to connect it to AUX on a TV? It'd be sweet if I could get it and connect it to my cars' tv or my big screen tv.
