well, 1. that depends on what you like, i personally like monster hunter and sims 2. 2.you don't need a memory card to play games just to save them and it depends on what you are going to use them for (eg. videos, music, pictures, game files). 3. not that i can think off(except the internet, buti think you need a memory card for that and wireless internet)

1. I would reccomend Socom FTB 1 or 2, MGS: PO, Syphon Filter or Killzone

 2. you need a memory card to save your games, a 32mb card would do. But if you want to store music, photos or videos i would reccomend a 1GB (minimum)

3. just enjoy your new PSP :D

You probably want to buy a case to protect your investment.

1) GTA:LCS is a great game to get, I am also a fan of Twisted Metal: Head On, which I would recommend checking out. 2) You will need a memory card if you plan to save any of your PSP games.  A small 32mb card would work for just for saved games.  You can get a larger 1gb or even a 4gb for under $100 which will hold a ton of movies, mp3s and pictures.  3) You should deffinetly look into getting a case to carry around your PSP and a few games.  If you don't already have a USB cable to connect your PSP to your computer you should also look into getting one.

The USB cable is the same as the one I use for my digital camera.  You can see it here. Amazon, as you'll see, sells it for less than $10.  I also have used a card reader like this one by Dane-Elec which I find is faster than the USB cable.  

I would also highly recommend at some point getting at least a 1 gig memory stick.  Remember, it has to be an equivalent of a Sony Memory Stick (not necessarily made by Sony, but equivalent) or it won't work.  Any old SD card won't work, sadly.  You might already know this, but it is a good thing to know if you don't.  

I also agree with the idea of getting a case for it, I have a hard case for mine.  I also have a soft cloth that I clean the screen with (it's meant for a camera lens I think) but I'm kind of nutty about that stuff - can't stand fingerprints.

Well sure, but get at least a 1gig soon like these guys are saying. It's really worth it... although I got mine when they were like over $100 bucks haha.

You can definitely wait a bit for higher memory sticks.  You don't need much to just save a game.  Internet stuff might get dodgy, but if you're not picky about that, you can wait.Â
