Overall pretty good a few graphic glitches but fun.

I also have toca which is very good

ridge racer which is excellent

lumines which is fun but not as good as tetris

darkstalkers which has good graphics but poor controls

I'm going to the USA in late October and am planning on getting a PSP while there. Would anyone advise against it? If so, why?

Because sony sucks muhhahah. Turns off fanboy mode switches on PSP.

 

The only reason not to get one in the US is because of UMD movies. However make sure you don't get one on the last day as if your screen is horribly riddled with dead pixels you will have no time to complain/seek a replacement.

Mine is from the US and I have had no problems at all.

The UMD movies is one of my reasons for picking a US one, in that I can get films/TV shows before they come out here or just cheaper than they are here.

 

Good call on the pixels, if I do get one I'll get one early on in the trip, and give it a good testing.

 

On the subject of charging it up, how do you go about that if you get a US version?

Other than the region-encoding on UMD movies, there is no reason why you shouldn't buy one in the US.

 

You may even luck out and be able to find an original 1.50 PSP, or you can ask about such a thing in the store. I know that you know why version 1.50 is awesome.

 

Anyway, this link shows you how to find out what version you're buying before you actually purchase it.

 

Edit: You can charge US PSPs up over here using any standard PS2 power adapter.

i have a US PSP but i want to be able to play UK UMD's on it (mainly a bear's tail) but what i was thinking of doing is buying a PSP from morrisons, and swapping my US one for the UK one and then returning the US one for some stupid reason, has to work as morrisons is populated with 40 year old women who are probably participating in community service for minor drug offences and hence will have no idea about anything technical.

There are NO games that interest me announced for the PSP other than Rockman: Rockman.

 

And I still don't get the point of UMDs!!
