[FDSMAN]

I see everyons is making a topic about the psp, and I have some questions, but I just wanted to save some bandwith by starting one, just post questions,answers, and facts about the psp here

Do Japanese UMDs work in any PSP and vice versa?

Region Free for Games - Region 2 for UMD Movies

Good news for import gamers is, that the Sony PSP is region free. This means you can play games from all over the world on any system. This is different for UMD movies. But you will be happy to hear, that Sony seems to be following the DVD regions, which means that European movies are supposed to play fine on Japanese units (both areas have Region 2 just as with DVD players).
(I give credits to Lik-Sang on this )

What Memory Stick DUO should I get?

This depends on what you are doing with it. Watching movies from the DUO? 1GB would be nice. Playing music? 512MB would work.

What UMD [games] do you reccomend?

According to Lik-Sang, Ridge Racer, Need For Speed Underground, Lumines, Metal Gear Acid, Bleach, and Namco Museum are the best sellers.
(Again, thank you Lik-Sang!)

I have to agree, the DS beats all. Not to start one of those chains of hateful-psp-vs-ds posts, but the DS is awesome.

JP games will work in any, though music and movie UMDs will not. So if you bought yours in the US it means no Naruto UMD for you.

I got a 1GB and I'm loving it. For 98 bucks it was a steal.

Lumines. Lumines. And...Lumines.

I reccomended it already
Lumines. Lumines. And...Lumines.
Wow, and I meantioned that too!

Enough commenting, what's Lumines anyways?

[cyco vision]

Calm down.

I was tired and for some reason I thought you were asking questions.

[Unidentified Assilant]

Hmm... I don't like DS much, it's a bit gimmicky with 2 screens, the touchscreen feature otherwise is great, but games like Wario Ware: Touched! cannot live on it, and Project Rub is a great disapointment, but Touchscreen is great used properly, but I'm all for PSP, even though though my PCp will have 2 Screens and Maybe Touchscreen, with a Graphics Tablet.

[gamer2]

let me guess the touch screen is the keyboard?

[Unidentified Assilant]

hmm... nice idea, I was thinking more of a Graphics Tablet behind the LCD but protected by a Pane of Glass inbetween them, which sadly adds to weight and size, but oh well, weight dsoesn't matter anyway.

[shelter pitfall]

Anyone try wipeout yet?
I might get a PSP when its cheaper (or when I have $400 laying around)

Wipeout Pure? It's a good game, just the web browser is cool.

[Unidentified Assilant]

Wipeout is a nice franchise, it bares some hallmarks down to F-Zero, in terms of style and playablity (F-Zero DS?)
