Did any of you buy a PSP because... you wanted to play games from some of your favorite series. Say, Final Fantasy and God of War. Sure, the PSP has some new games out on the market like Patapon but I purchased my PSP mainly because the games on the PSP arent available for the consoles. Sure, it seems like an obvious answer but that's what I bought it for. I wanted to continue the story with Crisis Core, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, and Chains of Olympus. It seems like I've been doing a lot of that lately. I purchased gamecube games for my Wii, like Zelda: Wind Waker to catch up on the story. Things like that. Did you guys buy the PSP because you can take your gaming anywhere? Or for the multimedia functionality it has? Or all of the above?

I bought my PSP since i am mostly on the go. Also, I picked the PSP over the DS since I knew a true Metal Gear Solid was going to come eventually.

I bought the PSP for a few games. But lately, I've been using it as a portable entertainment system/wifi phone.

picked up my PsP for FF:TA and FF:CC. will probably pick some others up for it but im not sure which PsP games will give me good value from my cash.

both the ff games have given me 40+ hours of gaming each and i want my next PsP game to match that.

i think mine is for the feature and graphics

ok here's the story

when i visit my brother in singapore, he has a psp(he also has x360, dam he's so rich!), then there i was amazed of how the graphics similar to ps2's, i forgot the game he was playing so probably it is not an amazing game

anyway

when i come back to my country, i further research the psp, i learn that it can read manga so

i bought it

until now, im not regretting :P

No, I bought a psp because I wanted a portable gaming system. Although if I didn't have one by the time they released God of War: Chains of Olympus I would have bought one then.

Overall I'd have to say remote play was the deciding factor in making the purchase. I love my piano black slim :D

Yes. I love Final Fantasy, God of War, and Silent Hill, so a PSP was a mandatory addition to my gaming collection.

I don't really know why I bought my PSP's. They're pretty, I guess. Also, the multimedia features are quite nice.

Well for me i had heard so much about the psp being a true muiltmedia device & all the things it could do other than play games. So i got hooked & really wanted to try one, so since i need a new mp3 player & was getting bored with my ds & gamecube i sold them & got a psp.

I bought my psp as I knew it would make an awesome portable media device as well as a powerfull gaming device , I missed out o nthe ps2 and figured I'd make up for it by getting a psp as it has a lot of ports for ps2 games

The reason why I bought my psp was mainly for the graphics, ablility to play music ,and also for being able to use custom firmware and game emulators.

Well I bought for when I go away until I realised I can't use it when I'm driving so now I usually just use it when I left home for a couple of days or when I'm sick of my other systems

The reason I bought mine was because a couple years ago, I went on a long trip, one month to be extact, and I needed something to kill time. The other reasons was because of the GTA stories games, but I've also come to enjoy most PSP exclusive titles too. I mainly use my PSP for gaming. Haven't bothered with the other features much, although it's a nice addition.

Im gonna buy it for GoW and KH but there are like 16 more games that I want for it so it's not just for two games (that would be a waste of money).

I got mine for the games, but having all those extra features (movies/music etc etc) is always a plus...

Currently enjoying FF: CC, Patapon & Ultimate G&G

I bought a PSP because it had finally accumulated a substantial amount of good games(shouldn't have taken 3 years) and for the graphics.

I bought mine when Crisis Core got a NA release date. Though now that I have it, there are plenty of other reasons why I love my PSP.

I bought my PSP for everything it could do. The games are great, but so are all its other features. Between music, ripped movies, wifi and showing off my latest artworks in a nice digital portfolio, not to mention PS1 games, it's almost as if games on UMD are an afterthought to me...but I like those too.

I couldnt agree more. Sources claim that God of War: Chains of Olympus looks as good as a PS2 game in terms of graphics. Judging from the SD trailer @ gametrailers.com, it could be true. I have yet to play it first hand (arriving in the mail, this Thursday). When I saw the vid, I was like, "Wow! The PSP can do that?!"

It's not quite at the level as the PS2 versions, but the graphics are pretty damn impressive, with it and Crisis Core being the best graphics on a handheld ever.

I got my PSP free from my brother. He gave it to me, because he got bored with it.
