... Its a handheld, of course its worth it.

I hate wasting money so I dug up everything about it before I ordered mine..

They cost $249.99 american. GAMES are not region locked. If you buy your PSP in the US and then buy games in the UK they'll work. UMD movies ARE region locked like DVDs though. So you cant play American movies on a UK PSP... But you can play UK DVDs on Jap PSPs and vice versa because they are both region 2.

GTA LCS comes out on October 3rd or 4th apparently...

For other games, Ridge Racer and WipeOut are your best bets for racing. If you're after a sports game, theres plenty and theyre just like the console versions. Tony hawk underground 2 remix is DOPE if you havent played the console version to death.

Lumines is the best game out for it right now, but its a puzzle game and most people dont like those. Ive played it though and its DOPE.

Metal gear acid isnt like the console versions, its a card game. Some people reckon its dope, some people reckon it sucks... Ill probably get MGA2 when it comes out.

Dont get coded arms, untold legends, or death Jr. They all suck cock.

And I suggest you get some shit to protect it as well. The best case is Logitech's playgear pocket. And the best screen protectors are pelican and hori.

The 32MB stick that comes with it is enough for game saves. But if you want to play music, ripped movies, and home made applications on your PSP youll want to get a bigger one. 256MB is reasonably priced and enough for music. 512 is a good size, but 1GB are dope... But the 1GB ones can cost upwards of $100.

Also if youre buying a memory stick, get a sandisk one not a sony one. Sandisks are cheaper and faster.

And just FYI, this is what I bought:
PSP value pack
THUG2 remix
Lumines
logitech playgear pocket
hori screen protector
sandisk 1GB memory stick pro duo (from ebay.. retail is too expensive.)
