Just bought a PSP.

I had a DS Lite that I traded in at EB and picked up a black PSP Ratchet and Clank bundle. I've been putting off getting a PSP for too long and started to envy my co-workers as I watched them play. I actually just started to charge the system for the first time. Do I need to wait for it to fully charge before turning it on?CaptainCrazy

Congratulations, however dont make the mistake of buying crap games for it. Ive had a PSP for about 2-3 years, so let me tell you the games I enjoyed:

Ace Combat X

Final Fnatasy Crisis Core

God of War

SOCOM US Navy Seals Fireteam Bravo 2

Syphon Filter Logans Shadow

Tomb Raider Anniversary

Killsone Liberation

_

You cant really go wrong with these ^

Look out for:

LittleBigPlanet PSP

Motorstorm PSP

Rockband PSP

Resistance Retribution

__

The trick is to focus on PSP games directly made or heavily supported by Sony itself. Ive played others, like GRAW, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and Rainbow 6 and they werent very good ports IMO. You may want to check out Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron. Its not for everyon though.

Oh, and upgrade to a decent memory card, like 4GB (or 16GB on amazon, if you really want movies)

Heres the link for a free PSP-movie connverter, straight from Sony:

Keep in mind that you have to make individual folders on the memory stick via your computer to store music, photos, and videos, hence you need a USB cable.

I actually prefer my PSP to my iPod, lol, just keep in mind that the system is designed to add/expand your PS3/Xbox, not replace it. And so store all your real media there and use the PSP for streaming (in case you have a PS3) or for storing a movie or two.

Enjoy

Great purchase my friend, you'll really enjoy it...

The GTA games are both awesome on PSP if you didn't play the PS2 versions. Also Daxter is the best platformer on the system in my opinion... Tekken : Dark Resurrection is a great fighter and if you like flight sims, Ace Combat is awesome.
