I am gonna be devil's advocate here and say you could do without the PSP if your laptop is good Quality. The Ohter Day I Was on the LRT(subway) and there was a Guy on there with a laptop with a PS2 style controler pluged into it. He had an Emulator on the Laptop and was playing Streetfighter. I asked him a few questions and he pulled out a second controller and we played Streetfighter together on the Train. You can't do that with a PSP(unless someone else also has a PSP). you could play ausome games on your laptop if it's up to there specks. and needless to say it can do everything else a psp can with the right software.

However it is certanly much bulkier, Longer load times, and not really able to play when Standing or put Away Quickly. Also When New PC games come out you don't know if you can play them or not based on your Hardware but you do know that All PSP games that come out will play on your PSP. So if you have the Spare cash, want a PSP and like that easy portability get a PSP. But do you need one NO!

What Games Allow you to play MP3s from your own collection.

Do you think more should?

I know I would love some simple games that let me play well listening to music from my own collection.

it might be a little be shaky, not sure I've heard they can be a loose fit. I have a case that screws on works very well though I wish it completly inclosed it to keep out dust.

is it just me or are the most recentPSP Demos losing something.

Let's compare the two most recent demos with some older Demos

May Contain Demo Spoilers

Warhammer Squad CommanderWas a good tutorial of the controls visuals etc but not a good demo..In my Opinion. and here's Why. It was too Short, The Chaos troops were Weak and there were No End Boss Demonsor Chaos Tanks or the Like. Chaos Terminators being the Hardest thing to fight and those not Very. No Intro or Extro Or Cut Scene Videos. Also Squad Customization is also very limited due to inability to select different unit types and very few weapon types to choose from. Creating a tease of a demo with very little replay value.

Compare that with the Old Socom Demo or Kill zone or syphon filter. They all had much more weapon custimazation. Some very Difficult tasks. and took a wile to complete. Socom and Syphon Filter had Cut scene videos, and some actual voice acted instructions. I died multiple times playing all these Demo's. I Did more damage to my Own troops due to Exploding the Enviroment thenthe AIdid to me in the Warhammer Demo.

Now Let's look at the Worms Demo, This is a game type I have loved since Scorched Earth Days and Iused to play Worms all the time on my friends computer in Highschool. Hot seat Multiplayer is a great to often Forgoten Multiplayer format.

The Worms Demo Contained one Bad level. Clearly Designed for theDS up and down format not the PSP Widescreen. A limited number of weapons and Worms that were Stuck and Unable to move, Because they left out theNinja Rope. The real game Promises mini games and none of that wasseen Here. And once again no Cut Scenes. Worms Videos were great and always Vary Humourous. That was Lost here. Once again very little Demo replay Value.

Now Compare that to the Demo Of LOCO ROCO. Lots Of secret Hidden areas, with lots of things you need to try hard to get but can be aceaved with Patiance. a good long level in both the Haloween English demo and the Japanese demo. Highly Entertaining, Very Funny. and ton's of replay Value. That Demo Sold me On the Game.

The worms Demo Made me question if I wanted to purchase the game because the DEMO was so bad.

this is not What I have come to expect from Game Demo's I used to read PC Gamer all the time and Play the Demos off those Discs. That is the wrong direction for demo's to be going.

does anyone else Agree with me on this?
