The PSP seems like a wonderful handheld. Personally, I have been a DS gamer. But, some of the games in it's library have interested me. Mainly, RPG's, too. Brave Story: New Traveler, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, Final Fantasy II and Jeanne D'Arc look awesome.

Plus, seems like Tekken: Dark Resurrection received a nice price drop, too. So, what should I do? Wait for the newer PSP whenever it comes around or grab one right now?

Personally, I'm waiting for the new PSP slim. I had the old PSP but I sold it to my friend to replace it with the new one since it had a deep scratch on the screen :( Besides, I like the features of the new PSP and the fact that it's lighter and a bit thinner. I've always wanted a different color too.

mmmmmm well since the new PSP comes out in like what next mounth? and it has better features than the current PSP so I'd say... Wait it out because the current PSP in my opinion is kind of a piece of crap... the buttons can break really easily...

WTF there is nothing really wrong with the old PSP model. I had mines for over a year and i've dropped it down wodden stairs, 10 feet on the pavement, off my kitched counter.. on the concrete floor at school all of this and the worst thing that has happened to it was the door didnt close properly. i simply snapped it back in place as if it was a bone or fracture. i was so suprised the screen didnt crack or anything. i did not have a warrentee and although the PS3 is not selling well ESPICIALLY with the 360's breaking down a lot i have a new respect for sony products now.

I had to trade mines in and im counting down the days for the new psp (Sept. 10th) but i fear my luck has run out because of this system being slimmer and thinner could possibly crack easier. wait it out i know its hard but it is waaaaaayyyyyyyy worth it

Wait. The new one comes with TV-out and more internal ram. It's also lighter/thinner.

September 10th is sooner than I thought, actually. I may just get one now, though. The TV-Out business and what not does not get me too excited. Besides being smaller, are there any other dramatic and new features?

I want to get my Tekken on!

I wouldn't get the new PSP. It's not much slimmer (compare it here). It also has a smaller battery of 1200 mAh instead of 1800 (giving 3-6 hours of gaming according to Kotaku). If you want to put in a better battery, you will need to buy a new faceplate altering the aesthetics of the PSP slim.

I guess you are right, my friend. September is not too far away. I should grab some games before I get it, though.

Nice choices, youll enjoy them. Still wait for the PSP-2000, you won't regret it. No other feeling like owning a system like PSP or DS Lite when its just released, and plus its better in every way.

I couldn't help it, guys. But, I purchased one. A brand new one, the $169 one. I have been playing Brave Story, ever since.

I will get the new PSP, as well, though. But, I just needed the PSP. I needed it.
