I bought one tonight and am very impressed by it, absolutely love it.
Bought it from JBs for $299 which included the new Clank game as well as a pick of a platinum game so basically only cost about $220 for the unit.
Am keen to expand what I can do with it in regard to putting movies, etc on it and using the wirelss network at home.
Was just wondering what other people's experiences with them were and what sort of extras I should be looking at getting for it.
Kids will be fighting me for use of this, I already told them that when we drive to Geelong in a couple of weeks time the missus is driving, Im playing the PSP and they have to make do with their DSs! he he :twisted:

they have stopped making UMD movies now. that sucks. its a very good picture though. i have a program that changes dvd file to mp4 files so thats good on long trips,i usually go and hire dvds from Video ezy and put them on my psp.

Yeah, I think I can hack/downgrade my firmware to do that but am taking the safe way out and have purchased a special battery and memory stick that does the same job.
Already found a good converter that puts divx movies into a format playable on the PSP, very happy with that.

Yeah baby, unbricked! I could use an unbricked psp to play backed up games but I don't think SONY allow I'll use it to run legitimate free progams now. :D
