    Personally, I didn't mind the PSP. However, it severely lacks in terms of quality games. Also, at the moment, the PS3 is crap as well. It's library is severely lacking as well and the only good game on it is Resistance. If you can go for a Wii or a 360. The 360 has a ton of great games already and the Wii has already got a couple of great games on it.

    The PS3 actually has a few high quality games since the debut. Also you have to remember that in video console gaming markets the first year or two for new consoles is usually rather poor since development companies are trying to get used to the new stuff they have to work with. I'm anticipating PS3 games two or three years down the road. That's why I never buy consoles when they debut anymore. Just isn't worth it for me.

    My little sister got a Wii today.

    ................heh


    Well yea, it came with 5 sports games and I played 3 of them including baseball, boxing, and tennis. It seems like if you just swing the damn remote you win everytime. I got bored of those games pretty fast, but I still think it's worth the $250 price tag.

    I love the Wii so far. That's actually the first console I plan to buy. For me personally they have more interesting games. Mostly because of the new Zelda title, that makes a world of difference. Plus the titles planned for 2008. Anyway, in the end I always end up buying the Nintendo and Sony consoles after like, three to five years. lol

    No because:

    1) Gets boring kinda quickly
    2) Breaks/malfunctions easily
    3) There's better stuff to buy with your money

    Yeah that too, most notably the LCD light pops inside the screen. Sony fixes that for free, but it can happen quite often and you would have to send your PSP to a specific location to have it fixed. Then you may end up waiting more then two months for it to return.

    Yea, I bought a PSP (with 1 game from this kid who thought he was gangsta) to sell on eBay and it had one of those air bubbles in the LCD screen, so I tried to push down on it, but the screen broke inside. Like it cracked inside the screen, but I barely pushed down on it.

    So I just took the serial number sticker off my sisters PSP and switched it with the one I broke and returned it at Wal*Mart.

    Oh yea, my sister had to switch out her PSP 2 times when she got it because of dead pixels.

    Yea, I might buy that Sonic game for it, but I don't see much else right now. I hear that Wario game is good, but I don't know.

    I know I will buy Smash Bros when it comes out on Wii.

    Because it costs too much in my opinion. There aren't any good games at the moment, and from what I hear, it has a lot of technical problems.

    Well at the moment, I'm really interested in NBA 2k7, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas, and Gears of War. Of course I have to dig out a lot of change, to get them. I'll probably get 2k7 first though.

    NBA 2K7 is awesome. I am currently playing Association Mode, and it is very detailed and you can do a bunch of stuff on there.

    NBA 2K7 is good, but it still has too many things missing to be considered a great basketball game. Worth buying for now though, I just hope the NBA games and basketball games in general start to improve next year because the last time I've been really satisfied with a good bball game was NBA Live back in 1997 on Super Nintendo. No joke.

    Gears of War is very enjoyable. I think its the first game you need to get for 360.
