So, anyone going to buy this?

I will probably wait until winter to get one, when it has a chance to make games I enjoy and drops in price. So far I am disappointed in the launch titles. They are numerous, but nothing looks too good to me.

Actually, if I were to buy either, it would probably be the DS because it's cheaper and seems overall better.

I have mine on order from EBX, and am really looking forward to getting it as soon as it comes out. Should be a great system!

Unfortunatly, I did not preorder this system. I'm hoping to be able to get one on saturday if EB Games still has them in stock. I'm not too crazy about the forced bundle.
I'd rather not dish out the extra 50-100 bucks for all of the extras that are added in the US release, but if I can find a store that has them I'll definatly buy one.

I think I'll wait this out until both systems get more games, then, and only then, shall I make my final decision. It's one or the other- right now I'm leaning towards the PSP because I love the Playstation's overall line-up more than any other system... and theoretically, the PSP's line-up should reflect the same kind of feeling, right? I sure hope so.

...walmart sells them first come first serve...so if you get there right when they open...you can get one. In any case, I won't be getting it. Weak selection of games at this point in time and a very high price. Pehaps later on, but I doubt it.

Can anyone show me the titles for PSP? Im not going to get it but I'm curious what games are for it.

I'll buy one when it's cheaper, they've sorted the battey life and good games come out.

I might buy this later on in the year when the price drops. $250 for a handheld just seems like a ridiculous amount to me. If it weren't for Darkstalkers, Wipeout Pure, Twisted Metal, and especially Untold Legends, I wouldn't even consider buying one.

The price is so high because of all the extras. The system on it's own would probably be in the price range of $150-$200.

The system on its own is always cheap. However you need a game and memory card to effectily play it. Thats where the price tolls up.

I know that, but it also comes with a bunch of other accessories, that I won't exactly need to effectively play it.

Such as headphones, a case, and Spiderman 2. If there is one thing I hate its a forced bundle.

Yeah, I'd rather buy the case later. The first thing I'd worry about with my PSP is a Memory Stick and Wipeout Pure.

Yeah, although I definitely want a PSP, I think I'll wait, as well. At least until the price drops a bit. Untold Legends looks pretty interesting, as do a few other titles. But I never buy consoles upon release, and this won't be an exception.

The Spider-Man 2 UMD comes free with the first million PSPs sold. And yes, I'm getting one, I have it on reserve at EB.

I intend to, but DS is currently of the higher priority. For both, I intend to wait for a drop in price first, so it'll probably be quite a while before I even think of playing one.

Spider-Man 2, if it's anything like the home console versions, is worth getting. Don't complain.

Myself, I'm going to wait until the UK release, and pick it up with GTA, Free Running, and Mercury.

Weird how I've come around to the idea.

Spiderman 2 for the DS was a bad game, it had flawed gameplay and control, and was really more of a fart that smells good but still is a fart and goes away fast type of thing. I respect your opinion, however, I don't think the console versions are like the portable versions.

"Darkbackward disagrees: I disagree with what you are saying, the psp can play movies and has superior graphics capabilities, to call it not innovative goes against my personal experience with it, thus, I disagree."

Taking movies with you and superior graphics aren't innovative at all. The GBA when it first came out was just more graphical power, it didn't alter gameplay. That goes with the PSP, playing movies and mp3's does not change the game experience in any way, shape, or form. The DS however, changes the way you play games, thus, making it innovative.

So the PSP hit shelves here yesterday. Their sold out like everywhere... EB Games, Gamestop and all the local department stores are sold out. Just guessing.. the PSP is going to destroy the DS. The DS never sold out anywhere in my town...

A lot of people from my class alone were carrying PSPs, and when I bought *** of War the handheld was already sold out. This is Orlando, so A LOT of people got it.
