I gota ask this as its been on my mind for a while, the psp used to be like the best thing to have, in fact tons of people bought them and they were really high in demand and selling for over 150 for used ones not very long ago. Now I only ever see people selling them... I saw one go for £70 quid the other day and was shocked. Was it really just a huge fad or what?

Well, I got mine just when they came out, and used it a lot for about 3-4 weeks. After that I kind of lost interest (in fact I don't even know where it is now, probably at the back of a cupboard). It was a great device, I actually used it the most for watching films etc on the move. The web-browser was ok, used that quite a bit in the City (loads of hotspots around). Gaming-wise, it came with some golf game and a footie one (neither very good). Did get Need for Speed most wanted, which was very good. All in all, it was a couple of weeks occasional entertainment for me (mostly when on the train plane etc).

I still use mine from time to time, mainly for an hour or so on the occasional Saturday morning...

Ill be using it this Saturday throughout my flight to Sofia though...

I've 'acquired' and played almost every game out for it but almost all I deleted as they're rubbish. I bought 'Burnout Legends' after liking a downloaded version. I've also bought GTA and Ridge Racers - but there's been nothing else to tempt me.

Over a year after getting it, I'm still waiting for the PSP version of Gran Turismo.

Games do cost alot but if u know other ppl with a psp its a good idea to swap games when u get bored of the ones you ave ive got 3 uk games I like ridge racer the most and well im not into king kong lol its a great gadget btw its rite for me cos it has a mp3 player

its still kick ass, ONLY IF :-

you know how to work it (i mean everything from file extensions, to playing the music/vids)

good games, while switching from time to time

keep your psp in good condition

you have other things to do aswell as psp, so if you play it constantly, its gonna get boring

it helps to have a router

the list goes on, i like my psp, but as usual, as soon as everyone who wants a psp has got one, they arent gonna sell much more are they?

i sold mine (won it in a contest) to raise money to my dream gadget: the P990

i was a bit said though...i did like to play SOCOM FTB online, it was fun

Play mine everyday at school. Mercury, Untold Legends, GTA and King Kong keep me busy. I use it mainly as my MP3 player as I can't justify the money on an iPod and I have a couple episodes of things on it.

I'm not bored of mine. Don't play it when I'm at home as I have my Xbox 360.

I use mine quite a bit. I mainly play GTA (great game, shame im not very good), Str wars battlefront 2 and Burnout legends.
I sometimes watch the odd movie on it that i convert from dvd. Umd films are too expensive.

If I could find it, that's exactly what I'd use it for... or maybe a fairly impractical coaster

Appreciate the technology that goes into it... If u look back at ur PS1 and u look at ur PSP which is 10x time powerful, u'll be amazed... with a built in "HD" lcd screen too....

As for me, i always tend to look new ways to use it.... like buying a DVD and rip it off to the PSP just to see how it looks like with the PSP... actually i use the PSP most of the time when i go out, use it as my media player on the go, not only as a mp3 player.... what i found out what makes me use my PSP even more is, i custom made all my jeans with an extra side pocket around the thigh area, to place my PSP on the go, rather than using the bag or holding it... it really helps!!

And I cant wait for the upcoming games, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, MGS, etc...

It's lovely, but I have to admit, It was way too hyped out, In OPS2, i dont think there has been ONE game with 10/10 worrying for sony fans like me ...but its still FAB if you have what Glenny said earlier (router etc)
