Is a PSP worth it?

I asked this question in a forum a year or so ago, and the only reason anyone could give me to own a PSP is illegal stuff.

I'm not interested in illegal stuff, so is the PSP worth owning outside of its less legitimate uses?

I'm thinking about getting a PSP go, because it looks more comfortable to play.

well the library is definetly improving with new titles like Army of Two, Assasins Creed, Little Big Planet and Resident evil getting released on it Id say that now is the perfect time to purchase one.

The PSP is an excellent portable internet radio player, and it has some games too.

Agreed with everyone.....SOOOO MUCH GOOD GAMES ARE COMING TO PSP!!! ASSSASSIN'S CREED, METAL GEAR SOLID,LITTLE PIG PLANET...ETC!!!

I just listed it as an example, and IDK about the RE I dont really like that series :P

but even so there are many other gmaes being released for it too.

I use my psp to watch movies, hold pictures, videos, as a mpg player and games. I have 2 dsi's for my daughters andthey haveway more games on them. The psp graphics are way better though even though it has a limited amount of games on it. I don't mind since most my gaming is played on my 360. I think its well worth the money.

Look TC, how many people mentioned current games? There's your answer: just wait.Next-Gen-Tec

well I can list current games too...

Patapon, Patapon 2, Prinny: Can I really be the hero?, Daxter, Ratchet adn Clank Size Matters, Locoroco, Katamari, shall I continue? I have more games worth purchasing.

Yes, buy the 2000 version, the best psp imo

[QUOTE="Jack-o-Thompson"][QUOTE="TheElfChild"] Army of Two doesn't sound that interesting. Is the Resident Evil RE1 all over again? Assassin's creed and LBP might be good...TheElfChild

That's a good list.

thats a pretty good list Jack-O, Im a bit disapointed at the lack of Katamari and Ratchet and CLank though those are 2 of my favorite games on PSP :P (right along with resistance, Prinny and Crisis Core.)

It's library of quality titles is pretty small. I'd advise on not buying it.

Katamari Damacy is a novelty, and I think I'll wait until it comes out for $10 on PSN download if I ever want to bother with that game.

Ratchet and Clank would have excited me three years ago, but after playing all four of the PS2 games, I'm pretty much done with the Ratchet and Clank series.

lol, katamari is such an old psp game that you can probably get it for like 5 bucks right now :P

and, the Ratchet and Clank on the PSP is a nice refresher from the ones on the PS 2/3, it is more (at least in my experience with it) platforming focussed then the other ones were.

But even if all of these still do not impress you there is still the rest of the list that he posted.

I don't think as a gaming platform the psp is really worth it. Unless you're a huge fan of sony branded games(FF, MGS, Socom), and if that was the case you'd already own a psp.

Still I feel that if you buy a 4gb memory stick, and transfer your dvd/tv collection to a psp format then the psp is well worth it's price tag.
