Considering buying a PSP just a few questions.

First of all I'd like to say hi and say this is my first post so no abuse coz I done something stupid please.

Well as the title says I'm thinking about getting a PSP and have a few questions that need answers so lets get straight to them.

First of all I was wondering what PSP is the best for money? as I only have a budget of around £150-£180 and would like a fewaccessoriesand games.

Second I would like to know how big the online community for the PSP is as I am a big fan of multiplayer and such.

Third I was thinking about getting Killzone Liberation, any thoughts and do people still play it?

Finally I would like to know if there are any other games I should get bearing in mind I'm not into extremely complex rpgs (but I still like simplified rpgs) also I like the look of Killzone so any other games like that?

Thanks in advance :)

thanks pecan50 was thinking about the PSP 3000, is there much difference between it and the 2000? thanks again :D

Thanks Pooyanh, when you say full of cheaters is it relly that bad? I mean is it like every game you play your gonna get at least 2 cheaters or is it just every now and then you'll see 1?

Wat do u mean cheaters? I am considering a PSP also. Also, how are FPSs on the PSP since there is only 1 analog stick??

Cheaters=kids with custom firmware who hack to get unfair advantages in online games. Probably shouldn't even call it hacking, more like copying and pasting lol.

But yeah, most online games have them, trick is finding a good core group of players to game with you know don't do it. (which is possible)

Killzone Liberation is an awesome game, but it's nothing like it's next gen counterpart. Online is fun. Lots of good shooters on PSP.

Third person is probably it's best genre but theres a few solid FPS's as well.

Check out the Syphon Filters, Socom Series, Manhunt 2, Resistance, MGSPO, the MOH's and Coded Arms to start. Bunch more great ones but those should hold ya off.

For RPG's, Crisis Core, Jeanne D'arc, and Valhalla Knights 2 are solid. Kingdom of Paradise, DnD Tactics, Untold Legends series. You'll have your hands full.

As for the system itself, I'd go for the PSP 3000. It's the most recent model and has the most features/best specs. Great bang for your buck.

Core pack should run you about 169$ US, not sure what the translation is but I'll leave that to you. ;)

OK, I've found some info about PSP online multiplayer games:

Hope it will be useful for those who were looking for the same info :)

What kind of "tricks" are you talking to. To jump on this, after E3 I'm really interested in a PSP since I'm going to start travelling for work more and need something to do on long flights and layovers. I'm not really interested in the Go because it looks too small for my hands and I was considering the 3000 but if one is better, that'd be good info ;)

you should look into the psp - 2001. i bought last year and have totally satisfied. the only thing i dislike about the psp - 2001 is that it's battery pack is really sensitive to falling of and such. but it's cheaper and just as good as the 3000. don't get the "PSP GO"! we don't know how good it will be . some good games for the psp are- 1. crisis core 2.burnout legends 3.daxter 4.resistance retribution and 5.medal of honor heroes 2. hope this helps.

Get the PSP 3000, but i would wait until the PSP Go comes out, because then its getting much cheaper.You should keep the following games in mind:

Already Released: God of War Chains of Olympus, Ratchet and Clank Size Matters, Resistance Retribution, Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, Patapon 2, Gran Turismo, Rock Band Unplugged, Motorstorm: Arctic Edge, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Not Released yet: Resident Evil Portable, LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, Assassins Creed: Bloodlines, Tekken 6

Hope this helps

Well, no I don't play pirated games. I use programs to bring my own UMD games on to my mem stick. (saves physical space)

ok, i have youtube too

Im getting the psp go and depending on your lifestyle, you should get whatever is best for it. If its a 3000 then get the 3000, if its the go then get the go.

And killzone is a great game and has a dedicated online community. Im on there around 5 hours a week and I would say that I come across a hacker maybe one or two games a night, but then its not as bad as these ppl make it out to be. Honestly it doesnt affect the online that bad since I would just leave the server and come back later

If you're going to buy a new PSP, then you should buy a PSP, unless you change your mind and don't want to buy one after all. It's up to you. Keep in mind that if you buy a PSP, then you'll have one, and if you don't buy one, then you won't have one. I forget if I have one myself, but we're not talking about that. Where talking about PSP's. The existing PSP's are supposed to have a shinier screen than the Go. Let that be your deciding factor as to whether or not you should buy a PSP, and what model you should get.
