IYO, When did PSP become worth getting?

I'm not a DS fanboy but I do play mine a lot. There are a lot of great titles on it: FFXII:RW, Castlevania, Advance Wars, Zelda. If only it had a 2d Metroid...*sigh*

I'm not anti-PSP, I'd actually be interested in getting one. But its library has seemed less than impressive until recently (GoW, Patapon, FFCC:VII). With these titles coming out I really see the system hitting maturity and finally having enough titles out to warrant a purchase.

So here's my question: Did you know you were taking a chance on your PSP if you got it before these titles or were you already convinced by the titles that had already come out? Or, in other words, in your opinion when did the system become officially worth getting in terms of available titles?

I got mine 2 years ago and am very happy with it, never board but one can make a great case that only now would it be worth it to get one. Still isn't that the same with anything. I have the Phat one too! now thats Old school and i didn't regret waiting for the thin one.

I'm not sure who said this but i like it.

"i would rather regret something i did, than something i didn't"

I'm not putting the DS down in no way, but I just have to defend the fact that most of the DS games out now where games that came out on the Sony PSone system, and none of those games are on the PSP. I was like wtf, why is it so? the graphics on the PSP are way better than of that of the DS, but then again the DS is just a different experience then the PSP. On the DS I've noticed more kid style games like pokemon, and the a great abundance of action titles. Many of which you won't see on the PSP.

IMO getting a PSP is the best investment you can get. Games, Movies, Internet, Chat, Mp3, and still more. What more can you ask for...:lol:

IMO the psp is always worth the money it costs cos it's like a mini computer that lets you play good games, play music and vide, browsing and many other features.

i've had mine when they came out first and i'm always using it

When Sony first announced it at E3 "I always purchase Playstation products"

When I finished Burnout revenge and I wanted more burnout, also When I got the money to buy it, and I knew about all of its capabilities

july 2006

And then, GOW bundle on June 2008 (I want that beautiful red psp slim, with Kratos on it)

when FFT came out i needed to get one (and did)

and if ff7 comes out i'll buy another one :P

I'm the guy who started this thread a few days ago. Since then, I bought a PSP along with GoW and FFCC:VII. Wow. I have been missing out. Don't get me wrong, the DS is an amazing system with an amazing library of fun and sometimes innovative games and I love it to death. But the PSP games look so amazing and play like PS2 games. I've only popped in GoW so far and it is absolutely stunning. I'm glad I decided to get a new system that can REALLY handle 3d action games instead of biding my time on the DS scribbling away at Ninja Gaiden.

IMO, it was worthit when it was redesigned to what is now called the PSP Slim & Lite which made it more ergonomica. Let's not forget the additional RAM they put in the slim. Second reason, back in 2004 it would've cost you an arm and now it's more affordable. Third, the titles are getting better and better, comparing it way back around 2004-2006.

Back then, it was more of a vanity gadget. It's hefty price tag enstranged the average gamer who couldn't afford it.

I got mine as soon as God of War COO came out and it is worth itDJCUEBALL

same here.

today i had the choice of buying flatout: head on or GOW. i got flatout since i played the demo and loved it. But so many ppl have been sayin how good GOW is... did i choose right?

i only got my psp this christmas and every game i bought i had not been dissapointed with. PSP really has started something special in a gamers life!

When the slim was released.

But even more when my friends in school starting running with it instead of DS:D

When it first ame out. The games that make it worth owning for me are MGS Portable Ops, Killzone, Syphon Filter, FF Tactics, and the like.

I don't why I forgot this game, but having GTA on the go was a big factor for me getting a PSP.

Always. From the 1st time I saw its concept

to right now.

What a great thread; lots of portable gaming love with no bashing or plain fanboyism :)

Now if everyone understood how enjoyable and great handheld gaming is, the world would be a better place :) Anywho, ever since the PSP Slim was announced I've wanted one, even more and more as time goes by and I keep loving handheld gaming. If I don't hear any official word on the rumored PSP 3000 I'll be gettin' myself a Piano Black PSP 2000 this July.
