Yes. I have one and I've used it more than any console I've ever had. Great games available for great prices, and it is portable (great on trips, on public transport, around the house).

And combining it with PS1 game remote play from PS3, it has a new dimension (eg, you can play PSX discs like Silent Hill on the PSP)

both phat and slim psps have the same capabilities. the only diff is that the slim doesnt have infra red but wouldnt be a problem if the user doesnt use homebrew

I have 2 PSP 1 for me and 1 for the missus.. I have a white slim psp and 1 fat black psp which was launched back in 05.. I play games and listen to music on it. Worth the money if you are going to use them alot.

i've had one since january this year, was alright at the start but haven't touched it for 6 months now.

i don't ride PT, so that doesn't help. Got plenty of games but none of them really hold my interest for longer than an hour or so.

will be giving it to my nephew for his birthday soon i think as its going to waste on myself.

Eh i was trying to be subtle about it, however i can realise whatever i said can be perceived incorrectly, but anyway homebrew ftw...Also the Slim Feels Really cheap.

The PSP Phat is only better if you want homebrew, but the PSP Slim has AV out, and the main thing the UMD Cache, which makes nearly any psp game with a famerate problem, run fine.

yeah the original fat psp is better with the home brew capabilities. and honestly, if you're gonna buy a PSP you're gonna use home brew. and no offense to people who didn't, but if you dont use home brew ur a money waster..

God no... every single game on PSP sucks balls.

I got mine the day they came out in Aus, used it a few times for games... on top of the rubbish games, UMD movies are pathetic and using the web browser is like extracting my own teeth... not to mention the controls are restrictive as. About the only thing the PSP does well is porn!

Believe me, you're much better off buying a decent media player or phone or something... my PSP has been collecting dust for almost two years

PS homebrew is running illegal third party software on the PSP... and I don't think you can do it with the newer ones.

Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Ratchet And Clank
Daxter
GTA VCS & LC:S
Ace Combat X
Wipeout Pure
Tekken Dark Resurrection
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War Of The Lions
Final Fantasy Crisis Core

This is just a short list of good games.

UMD Movies are indeed a failure, Same goes with the Internet Browser but meh, They do the job.

Also, PSPEMU IS AWESOME.

Media capabilities..meh they are alright.
