no, im not the dumbass that wasted 300+ on a damn ps1 with a screen.
My PSP got a RSS-feeder, it got wireless networking, it got a browser, it got several cool games (only got 6 for now, since it' s only 2 weeks old)...
I don' t recall that sharp and good graphics on PS1 either.. :-/
I also got the UMD-version of the Spiderman 2-movie for free in the mail today, after registering my PSP on yourpsp.com.
I' m using my PSP mostly at work, and feel like I get very much value for my money for it.
The battery-life is good I think, I have been using mine everyday from 6-10 hours, and usually plug in recharge when i go to sleep, atleast Hot Shots-golf, Tales of Eternia, and Virtua Tennis are easily able to play that long.
When I watched Spiderman 2, followed 2 hours of Hot Shots golf, it used around 1/4' th of the batteries (saw it dropped down when playing a mp3' s after that).
So I don' t really understand why I see dozen of people complain about the battery-life, since I' m not having any problems with this long game-sessions.
Is it consuming more battery if you play emulating with a ISO on mem-stick rather than a UMD-game?
