Using my quick ebaying skills, I bought a gently used PSP system off ebay. it came with 2 movies (Spiderman and The Matrix) and 1 game (Ridge Racing). it was all in all $155.96.

I am thinking about buying the game Coded Arms. is this a good game?
if not, are there any recommendations for a good game?

Coded Arms occupies you for about a week or so, then the fact that there are only 3 levels, that look exactly the same, and you have to play them over and over gets boring after a while.

The GTA games on PSP impressed the hell outta me, being able to run riot just like on the PS2 versions. You'll probably get them fairly cheaply 2nd hand too.

you should get free running, it looks like a really good game, as well as being based on a less known extreme sport. its only available on ps2 and psp, which i have neither of

Gratz on the PSP you bought the right one, play a video and stick it under the nose of a DS owner

Ye I rememebr the Jaguar it was a by Atari, their best game was Alien v Peradator. It was 64 bits in 1993, way ahead of its time!!!

Do you remeber the Atari Lynx and Sega Game Gear? Both colour hand helds but they were beaten out of the market by Nintendos Game Boy black & white crap! Why, on price and advertising of course!

Nintendo are trying to the same again with the Wii, it's old Game Cube Technology but they are undercutting the compitition and gunning it with adverts.

Bill gates has more moeny than sense and I expect he will pitch the XBox at the same price even though it must be a loss leader for him

i don't think Nintendo will win this one, i wonder how long before MS brings out a shake it-wiggle it joypad, they copy everything else!

Remember it! I still have mine! I sometimes still play a bit of Mickey Mouse on that and some Mortal Kombat 2...

As for the PSP, I've got both GTA games and they are excellent... I also got 'Gangs of London' which most people said was rubbish but I think is good... The pub mini-games alone make it worth it, especially if you can find it second hand (which you probably can)... and don't forget 'Pursuit Force'... It's hard but the satisfaction I got from completing that game was immense, plus it's brilliant...

Funny, I just watched a few episodes of Prison Break in perfect quality on my DS. Hmmmm.... and the UMD movie format is pretty much dead in the water now. Hate to break it to you

Jeku: yah, but i got "underworld" on UMD, beat that!

only thing i use my DS for is all the cool games and it's fun factor!...you know, i need my $300 PSP to play movies that i allready own on dvd that i can watch on my big screen with surround sound...

hmm...i think i confused myself

though, PSP is dieing, unless they start comeing out with incredible games, or more online features...i don't see it going anywhere

though, i do have a SDK to develop on the PSP, though their documentation is horrible

Some of the homebrew on the PSP is very cool, like SnakePSP, damn addicting little game and full of retro goodness.

http://psp-homebrew.eu/hbname.php?id=1098

The snake get's real long then things just get mental. Not sure if you need to risk bricking your PSP to get it working though - don't know why handheld manufacturers don't just make it easy to get homebrew working.

Because they are the spawn of SATAN.

There's a ScummVM for PSP (and DS) which is awesome if you are into your retro adventures.

Not illegal AFAIK - you can just copy the contents of your game CD/floppies to a mem card and ScummVM will pick it up.

Works for all the major adventure games from Maniac Mansion to Curse of Monkey Island.

Day of The Tentacle, Sam and Max, Full Throttle are the best outside of Monkey Island.

Don't think it works with Simon the Sorceror, but haven't checked.

Yeah, I got that on my DS, damn cool - just wish I had Sam and Max, only had Beneath a Steel Sky, which I'm just no good at . The DS is perfect for these games though.

If you have a PSP I must recommend Daxter. It's great platformer. I have since moved on past my PSP and sold it for a DS, mainly because of a lack of good games, but Daxter was a lot of fun.
