only thing i regret my psp not having from the new one is the tv output, the rest is no big deal.....

Well honestly for me the longest loading time i ever have is when the game first starts to load other wise it really isn all that bad definately not more than a minute in between screens maybe like 30-40 secd at most i would say probably less. i have yet to come across a game with such terrible loading times, and no i have never played smack down so thats probably why lol.
