PSP - reccomendations etc

[Oblivion_is_here]

Hi.
I've never owned or used a psp before but Im buying one from these forums so I am wondering:

What games should I get?
What accessories are worth owning?
What is the actual battery life like?
How much does 1gb and 2gb sticks cost

[Stoise]

There's loads of good stuff gameswise try:
Gradius portable, Me and my katamari, Lumines, Ridge Racers, Initial D, Loco Roco, Metal Gear Ac!d, Tekken: Dark Ressurection or Exit for starters.

you should definetley get a screen protector and probably a decent case too (Logitech do some good ones) and if you fancy playing any fighters you might wasnt to try looking for a product called 'extra button'

i think 1gb duos go for roughly ?25 (I'd steer clear of eBay though, tons of fakes). and 2gbs for about ?50.
Hope that helps.

Get a HORI screen protector. If you follow [personal affiliate link removed - please try our banners] link and search for 'hori' in the games search bar, you can get them for ?3.99 delivered.

Edit: MovieTyme.com are currently selling 1GB SanDisk Memory stick pro duos for ?19.99 delivered.

Agreed with Jar of Pataks. My top PSP recommendations:

LocoRoco
Virtua Tennis World Tour
Football Manager Handheld
Street Fighter Zero 3 Double Upper (NB: Stick-on DPAD modification is essential!)
Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower (NB: Stick-on DPAD modification is essential!)
Burnout Legends
Everybody's Golf
Gradius Portable
Lumines
Ridge Racer(s)
WipEout Pure
EXIT
Me & My Katamari

I've yet to play Tales of Eternia, Syphon Filter, Daxter, Metal Gear Acid 2, Gitaroo Man Live! or Tekken: Dark Resurrection but they're all on my wanted list.

Quite a few people on here, rllmuk and EDGE seem to rate Gottlieb Pinball Classics, Capcom Classics Collection remixed and Tokobot too.

DJ Max Portable is an excellent PSP title which probably won't see the light of day over here. The japanese version is easy enough to get to grasps with though.

[Shozuki]

easy!

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror

I loved it! perhaps too much, but hey! it was brill

Tekken: Dark Resurrection / Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) 3

Love my fighters too...

I actually bought a 1gb pack from gamestation at the weekend, which came with the Namco Battle collection which i quite like, particually Galaga. Its was ?180 all in which i think is pretty good.
