The white one looks nice. Hopefully, the new batch won't be suffering from dead/stuck pixel problems which plagued the earlier version.

Built in, supported web browser - sold.

Very cool... but where are the rest of the games?!?! (I, a grown man, actually bought Ape Escape just to have something new to play! :oops: )

I'm still hanging back on firmware updates for emu support - guess it will be a little bit before the community catches up!

I'll stick to web browsing on my laptop for now :D

So what games do you have now? In fact this question is for all... I have Lumines and Wipeout Pure. I generally like car racing games so it would be nice to have something new.

I also have Lumines(sp?), Spiderman 2, Tony Hawk2, and the Spiderman2 movie that came with it.

Hmm, so I wonder if the white unit will come with black earbuds and strap since my black unit came with white ones :D

Currently, I have Lumines and Twisted Metal Black Head-On. I'm waiting for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City and the Namco Museum Battle Collection, http://www.us.playstation.com/games.aspx?id=ULUS-10035

I started with MVP Baseball and Ridge Racer; then added WipeOut Pure and Untold Legends; then added NBA; then added Coded Arms and Ape Escape. Now, I'm looking forward to Infected (gotta love shootin' them zombies) and the EA Sports games (Madden, NBA, SSX).

I'm also looking forward to better ways of getting movies onto my 1GB stick to enjoy the portable theater experience.

I think the white PSP looks nice, but personally, I still prefer my black one.

I love this machine. 8) I'm really looking forward to the new firmware... hopefully Sony releases it to us in the States soon.

Games I'm playing: Wipeout Pure, Ridge Racers, Mercury, Smart Bomb, and four movies (so far!).

In terms of movies, do you folks buy a lot of UMD's, or are you still buying DVDs?

Bought the PSP yesterday. It is sweet! I don't see myself buying any UMD's but instead I will convert my DVD's that I want to watch over. Got a 1 GB MS on the way from New Egg!
