Thinking about getting a PSP

[Zedo Mann]

I'm thinking of getting a PSP sometime in the future. It's only about $170 now (in Wal-Mart) and It's gotta have better graphics than the NDS. Any Tips, Advice, Useful ideas, Input, Feedback, Etc?

The PSP is cool. The NDS is fun and all, but I prefer Playstation over Nintendo. So I'd go with the PSP. Interwebs, *semi* good graphics, interwebs, music, videos, interwebs. You see the trend, no?

I would have to guess that internet browsing would be better on the old NDS Browser Made by Opera and Discontinued. I like the better graphics on it too.

The "*Semi* Good Graphics" Are still better than the NDS.

It should connect to any network that is WEP/WPA encrypted (more or less all of them), so long as you have a security pass for them.

Internet browsing on the PSP can be pretty awesome, however a site that takes up a lot of memory may cause you problems, in which case it automatically reloads the page with less image quality, or you can disable pictures altogether. Google images works fine though

Your PSP experience isn't 'downgraded' if you don't have a PS3, and vica-versa. All it's used for is remote play (you can play some PS3 games through a link with your PSP), and occasionally some extra content between games (Resistance, anyone?). The PSP even has it's own version of the PS store anyway, if you're into buying some extra stuff.

I'm not aware of any limit on Memory Sticks, as far as I know you could put in a 1TB Memory Card (if such thing exists) and it would save data just fine. I know that for a fact 8GB memory cards work, and that's the highest I've ever heard anyone use at all.

There are 16GB Memory Sticks.

I'd like to thank everybody for being so helpful so far, and also say I'll probabally get the PSP around Christmastime (After, if not for)
