Seriously.... 10/10 for a hand held.

It really is like having a PS2 in the palm of your hand.

AngryNorth,
"Is that a print out from an Edge!!!" That's why I laid it out on a set of Scoobynet logo's so you knew it was from me and not from some bogus images going around on the internet.

DazV,
All I can say is don't believe the misinformed hype. I had it running out of the box on 2/3'rds charge for over 3 hours playing Ridge Racers. While not as good as a DS or GBA, it is adequate..... especially considering the size/type of screen and the amount of processor power this thing has and what it is able to do with it.

Thought thats why you may have done it. I used to work with a Gerber Edge thermal printer and in an anoraky kind of way the print looks like it did. Top little machine, ahh, memories

Anyway, the PSP looks ace, think I may have to invest in one next year! Congrats Mate.

Whats wrong with digital steering ? It's realistic enough (if you drive an Evo that is )

Better for cornering too !

nah, opp lock doesnt come in quick enough with digital - The only driving game I really got into was GT - all others were too plasticy IMO, I could pull manouvres in the DENSO Supra that would make Ari vatennen look like a spaz .


Will there be a GT for the PSP?

I want one

analoge stick yes or no ? - if so any good?

Thanks for the info Shaun - was thinking with that much processing oomph and tidy screen the batteries would die quckly. Whats it powered by ?

Apparently so - a full version of GT4 no less - not a watered down one...

It does have an analogue joystick (it's a disc below the directional pad)

GT4 Mobile will be relased in Jan 05

The PSP is powered by a lithium Ion 3.6v 1800mAh battery pack.

Wah,
Apologies, but for advertising reasons I am unable to state the place I purchased it from.
