Have 40-odd games and about half a dozen UMD films but frustratingly my PSP's just broke. My brother borrowed it while I was at work and must have dropped it because now there's a huge crack right down the screen. Can't afford a replacement or a fix right now so I guess I'm stuck for now with a shelf full of games I can't play!

I must say my PSP 3004 was worth the cost. Bought it new. I really dig that they still update the (though sparse) online games, avaliable for purchase through PSN. It's a neat console, and a lot of the mini's are really great! I have 1000s of hours to go on this little machine, and I encourage everyone to buy one, even though it seems like the stores don't have many games. PSN has a good selection, even in Europe, and if you're naughty you know you can mod' it. I own a modded phat and a firmware original 3004, and very content with both.

I really miss my modded phat. Got a legit Go and 3003 and they're both pretty boring without homebrew and whatnot. :mrgreen:

Bit of a bump for this thread as Phantom Brave: Heroes Of The Hermuda Triangle was released yesterday in the US for $19.99. Any takers?

Some lovely cover art above up there!

Decided to re-energise the old PSP this week and got Silent Hill Origins (£7 Grainger Games) and Infected (fiver on amazon).

Both good, not perfect, but they're entertaining enough for the money.

Think abouting getting Blazblue next.

Yeah, just signed up to that! Good site, a few hardcore collectors!

I give up with SH: Shattered Memories. It was doing my head in. Gone onto SH: Origins, which is much more my cup of tea, though still not perfect. Also been playing Infected, which is a good laugh.

Decided to hold off getting an NGP this year as well, I'll wait until the next version comes out in a year or two. It does look pretty funky though.

Thoroughly intend to get 3rd Birthday, and probably FFIV.

PSP releases are definitely going for quality over quantity now.
