I'm getting a PSP Slim for my sister (age 24), and I wanted to know if theres peripherals that are must haves (ie screen protectors, add ons, connectors etc). Is there any special connectors i need so that she can play the psp on a regular tv or my 22inch samsung monitor (which i use to play ps3 on through a DVI-D --> hdmi cable)? I was wondering just in case she wanted to play on a screen thats a bigger. I also read something about being able to use ps3 controllers on a psp, is this possible yet, or just in the design phases? If it is possible, could someone help me find what connectors I would need to accomplish this?

I'm also wondering if there are any good games that she might enjoy (take into account she's female and might not like stuff like MGS enough to beat the game). She does like some racing games usually if that helps a bit. I need something that would make her a PSP addict.Possible 1 or afewreally fun addicting game that'll keep her playing for awhile, cuz i know she's been wanting a psp for awhile.

Sorry if this is asking a lot lol, but since im gonna spend so much, I might as well make sure everything is perfect. Thanks though --all help is appreciated.

Screen protect and a psp sock case is a must. As for connectors....u will need component cables for playing games. And make sure your TV has componet output too.

Using PS3 as psp controller is not possible yet. And u can play PS3 games on your PSP such as lair thru remote play.

As for games....try loco roco, Brave story, burnout, FF: tacics, Hrvest moon, Disgaea, Thrillville, Dead Head Fread.

Get the PSP Daxter slim pack. That's the best deal if you have nothing. Daxter is a good platform game and really shows off the power of the PSP. Plus it comes with a 1GB memory stick. It's good enough to put some songs and a movie on, if she gets into that.

As for extra accessories, you should get a USB cable to connect to the computer if you want to do movies/music. A hard case would be nice but no slim cases have come out yet. I'm hoping Logitec will put one out soon. If you want to connect to a TV you will also need to buy the cable for that.

As for non-violent games:
Loco Roco
Puzzle Quest
Lumines (1 or 2)
Burnout Legends
Wipeout

It's really hard to help out as far as games unless we know what she likes.

The only game I can think of under these circumstances is Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.It's funny, easy to get into and if she really gets into it, she'll end upplaying for hundreds of hours.

Getting your sister a new PSP is a very thoughtful gesture.

It seems like the Daxter Pack is an excellent value.

A new silver PSP, 1 GB memory stick, Daxter, AND Family Guy content? SWEET!

A component video cable to connect the PSP to a TV will be out in the future. A spare battery couldn't hurt as well.

As for games?

1. Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters

2. Burnout Dominator

3. Lumines

Those are 3 quality games that can appeal to the casual gamer. Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions would be a nice add in too...It's tough, but your sister just might fall in love with it...
