White will not stay white forever, or so i'v heard. From the states here, we don't have the option of white, just black. I'v heard that the buttons may yellow a bit through extensive play. I can see that happening especially if you eat doritos or cheetos while you play.

It all comes down to personal preference, i myself like black hardware. Black ps2, black xbox, black ipod, so i was pleased with my only choice of a black psp. :D

I like the white one more, and I'd like to have one, but we have only black PSPs where I come from, so I have to be pleased with what I have.

I just got a new white one in the middle of my travels and im quite pleased with it. Ive always been a fan of black gadgets but ive got around it by buying black accesories!! Black headphones, Black Logitech Case and all that jargon, makes it work for me!

It's all personal preference on the color. It doesn't get dirty btw, because it's a slick plastic finish. Anything dirty you can wipe off. O nthe pack front though, i got the basic. The cheepest one, and bought a 4 gig stick. But that's because I use my psp for uhh.. Other things...

It depends on your colour preference but there are also some technical differences. The white psp has a much more responsive and raised d-pad which you will want if you like fighting games. It also has differently designed face buttons, they're looser and feel slightly different from the blacks ones. But for me the black one looks a lot nicer and the minuses are only very small, with the exception of the d-pad where the whites one is quite a lot better.

Get white.

Everyone is just saying black because they are insecure about not being able to choose white in the USA =P

You can get all the PSP's in different colors in the states, just have to find a company that imports them. TMove is in the states, and they carry all the colors.

White PSP
Pink PSP
Metallic Blue PSP
Silver PSP
Champagne Gold PSP

If the white one has a better D-pad then I would say get that one. I own a black one and it really shows fingerprints a lot. I don't think the white one would.

Just get the one you are first attracted to the most!

Black gets fingerprints all over it. White doesn't get dirty! I'm sitting here wih my white psp and it's not dirty at all, finger prints don't show up on it and it doesn't get dirty. It's not a matt finish it's a slick plastic one. Black has as much chance to get dirty as the white one does. The D-Pad pwns the black ones aswell.

Yes!

I sold my black PSP to get a white one for this reason! I hated how all my fingerprints showed on the black one. To me, now that I have a white one, I think the black actually get's dirty faster because of all the fingerprints...you won't see this at all on the white.

BTW, I live in the US. I imported the white one from Japan. Oh and if you need to clean the nub, just take a fingernail brush to it...just be sure to cover the surrounding area with a paper towel or something to avoid scratches.

i cant believe that there is only black psps in the US and the uk get white and pink and blackthomass60r

I live in the US and I can't believe it either.:evil: When PsP first introduced the white model it didn't phase me. In comparison the black one looked better to me anyway. But when all these other colors popped up:

All PsP colors

My eyes were buggin' out of my head (I'm feelin' the blue, pink, & gold ones, personally). Man do I wish we had the "freedom of PsP choice" here! And before somebody says it: yes I know we can get them thru import or just buy a PsP skin, but its not the same as having freedom to go to a vendor and choose the color we want. Its the principle of the thing! It ain't fair y'all. It just ain't fair!:cry:

I quite fancy the black PSP, if only because I have the white DS. I think it's indicative of their personalities... as queer as that sounds.

The white DS is fun and light! Get some Castlevania orMegaman action goin'! Maybe someElite Beat Agents groovin'!WOO HOOO!

Where as my PSP is just waiting for God of War, so I can tear the heads off of mythical creatures and savor ever snappingvertabrae in glorious detail and sound!Kratos does NOT tolerate white systems. And further, disembowels the fool who would dare play him on a pink system!
