the sony PSP

Post by boobie »

I wanted to create a topic for all kind of talk about the original sony PSP. Any love for the psp here in racketboy? I just bought mine but its still on the mail.. I agree with many that the library of game is somewhat limited but theres quite many games that I want to try.

Please share all your thoughts/collections/favourites/dislikes/everything about the sony playstation portable

When Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles came out, that was the sole reason I went and picked up a PSP. Finding out about CFW after that was just gravy. I'm never really "on the go" but if I ever have to take a several hour trip some where, my PSP is gonna be awesome.

It's far from limited. There's dozens of great PSP games no matter what genre it is you enjoy.

I disagree that the library is "limited". There may be fewer titles than the DS (which is completely overloaded with piles of total garbage), but there is a much higher quality to garbage ratio with the PSP. What I mean by that is that you may have 50 titles to choose from on the DS, and 5 of them will be great. You may only have 5 titles to choose from on the PSP, but all 5 will be great.

I love the PSP (so much in fact that I have three of them). Great system, and it's a shame the piracy really pushed most developers away from it mid-way through its lifespan. It's also a shame that most stores have barely carried any titles through it's lifespan.

The main reason I got a psp was for Loco Roco and Crisis Core: FF7. Now I'm playing Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep and still love my psp. Some other games I enjoy are Atari Classics Evolved, The Lego games, and Midway Arcade Treasures. Still need to pick up a bunch of other games like Castlevania, Final Fantasy Dissidia, Metal Slug, God of War games, and Resistance. I have a 3000 btw and I prefer it over the 1000.

Hopefully that "several hour trip" isn't in the can. :lol:

I really like Loco Roco and Patapon because of how creative and unique they are. You won't be disappointed.

That argument is flawed on so many levels.
