It will work with all games, but only movies from the region you bought it from.

I bought a few myslef when i got mine.

Tony Hawk's Undergournd 2 remix i really liked but i have been with those games since the first one so i dont how you like it.

Coded arms is pretty fun too it gets somewhat repatitive though becasue the story line is really weak.

The third game i got is Twisetd metal Head on and they always have a cool stoyr line. Its a really fun games but the controls are hard if you have big hand like me. But thats just my opinion on the controls.

So for games I would personally go with THUG 2 Remix, unless you already have then its up to you.

Also on a side note I am going to get midnight club for it next week. I have haerd its a lot better then need for speed for the psp and have played need for speed on it so i would also recomend Midnight club for racing games.

If this isn't what you are talkign about sorry but I wouldn't get any movies its a waste of money if you have a laptop or soemthing espcially since the screen is so small.

Ya, I agree with Link, Midnight Club 3, I would consider getting Lumines, just cause its a really addictive game, and no matter how much you think its like tetris (and think its lame)... its cool, adds a new flare to the falling block genre. Get wipeout pure (intro movie is crazy

) if you can for a cheap price, not really worth it, neither is ridge racer, but...it sure does look good.

Also, to check to see what firmware your getting, I heard that you can look on the box where the UPC code is at, and between the barcodes is a letter A or B, and I think A's are the 1.5's and B's are the 1.51 or 1.52, search about this, might be useful.

Edit: Heres the link to a post about the the UPC code thing I was talking about, has a pic to show you.

Get a 128 MB for emulators and homebrew, incase the stick burns out.
Get a 1GB for movies, pictures, saves, and music. You'll need it.

Get a system with 1.5, best firmware.

For games, get lumines. It should be one of the reasons you get this.
Also get: Tony Hawk Remix, Twisted Metal, WipeOut, and Need For Speed.

Get a logitech play-gear case and a hori screen protector.

And if you get it from Lik-Sang it's region 2 for movies and SOME games.
You can then get games, movies and music UMDs from UK and Japan.

If you want a psp with version 1.5 firmware I could get you one my local bb still has a tonn and they havent gotten in the 2.0s yet I am getting a 2.0 but if you want I could get a psp with 1.5 and then ship it to you.

There are cases of memory cards burning out, which makes them unusable by anything.

It's caused by homebrew but only happens on 1.5s.

It's not caused by swaptrick but PSP's corruption of format.

cyco vision · Post by **cyco vision** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 7:38 pm

If you value it, then yeah.

Look around and you can find them in the $90s.

And you can get a 128 for maybe $10.

Yeah.

I think he's talking in Australian Dollars, which isn't as strong as the USD.

Dude, don't scare him, I've never heard of a "burned out" memory stick or anything of the sort, but the corrupted data that can happen is real, I mean, its just data, the memory stick is still fine. Quick format and off you go again.
