It is worth having one for far more reasons than ANY game that may
or may not be played on it.

It plays MP3s and stores you favorite collection of photos, any of
which can be made the background image for the PSP.

It plays movies, and a UMD version of the movie isn't required. I
can rip ANY DVD I own and make a file that I can watch the movie on
the PSP with.

It has wireless networking, which allows me to get online anywhere
there is an access point that is unsecured, or free.

The only thing bad is that the memory stick are not cheap, and you
have to erase a lot of stuff (have a clean stick) to put a movie file
onto one. A four GB stick costs almost as much as the PSP itself.

I haven't tried it yet, but supposedly, this software I have will
let me run any of the old firmware required games. I have yet to try
it, and am a little leery of it. I was going to wait around for the
kids to declare the software hack viable or a device breaker before I
become a statistic.

that is interesting, what software is that?

BTW, I have not brought the PSP yet but have a friend with one and he
uses the photo slideshow feature with keylock to keep his young
daughter quiet for an hour's extra kip ~ that is probably worth the
cost alone!

And the 2GB sticks are not too expensive now, just buy a couple of
those instead of 4GB and keep the change...

Thanks for the feedback anyway!
