psp

I was about to buy a PS2 at long last . I am on the road a lot and have seen a car adapter kit for the PS2. However the PSP is coming out soon - Will the PSP be better than the PS2 or just a portable equivalent?

Incidentally I have just read the thread on PS3 - sounds pricey - �300-�400 is a rough idea.

psp is basically a portable ps2 but slightly less powerful.also,there are some issue with it as rumours are that sony had to turn down the cpu speed due to sapping of the battery.also one of the buttons does not sit directly above its sensor in order to make room for the screen so there have been complaints of non-responsive buttons ! it is not out here until september and will cost approx �180.personally i wouldnt buy one as i would rather play on a proper screen.if you want a cool bit of kit its worth noting that the xbox 360 is out in november for �299 and that ps3 is not out until next summer and will be priced �499(rumoured).

Technically, the PSP is more powerful than the PS2 in terms of how many polygons per second it can shift.

makes a great weapon, i have seen videos of the psp working and if u press the buttons too hard it twists it a little and fires the disc out the top at dangerous speeds!!!!

I tried one out today (PSP ) watched closely by the Shop Assistant. Impressive Screen , fiddly Controls esp the tiny "joystick" and quite heavy. I wasnt sure it would be very comfortable for anything other than a short play.
