I bought a GBA SP a year ago, and hardly ever used it, the game prices are too high, and not enough play time... I stick to a few of the more-playtime games on PS2 like GTA San Andreas and GT4, you will easily get 150++ hours of gameplay on each of those, and I can play 'em on a huge 55" TV :) GT4 even plays in HD (1080i). I also play the occasional PC game... that's about it... I'm more into movies lately anyway :)

The specs on the PSP are pretty amazing, I have to say... major step up from anything out currently that's handheld.

Another GT4 fan!!! I have been playing this game non-stop since it was released. But that PSP looks pretty cool, the commercials show it having MP3 capabilities and I wonder about MPG's and other video formats. May be kind of cool to integrate into a car stereo system.

i think there is some sony format that you have to use for the video and audio is ther atrac system i think but most of that is stored on the memory stick pretty pricy for a mp3 player !!!! but it does look cool

i have to go out and buy a ps2 just for the gt4 iv got an xbox now but i have always been a ps fan or ill go out and buy the game for my brother - in -law so i can play it !!!

I agree that the Xbox is the better system, but you just can't beat the Gran Turismo series as far as racing games go

Yeah, GT4 kicks major booty... I have 60-80 hours into it and I'm only 10% complete heheheh... great stuff, especially in 1080i on a 55" HDTV and the dolby surround pumping out the music :)

Man, I have no idea how many hours I've played for. I think I'm at around 29% complete with about 60+ cars. Think I'm hooked?

Yep you're hooked :)

My bro-inlaw picked up a PSP, and took it back the next day... he said it was pretty kickass, but there's very few games for it right now, plus the UMD movies are expensive... he felt like it'd be a major money drain, and decided to take it back. He said he might would buy one a year from now when there's lots of cool games for it maybe.
