Do you guys think this is a good deal?

Considering it as a few of the games are ones I was interested in and it appears to be in really good condition for a better price than new.

It all depends on whether or not you like the included games.  Even if they were free, I wouldn't play any of those games, ever.  Plus, the guy stated that you could use the PSP to "Watch Live TV".  You can't even use the PSP to watch youtube, so I don't know where that claim comes from.  Maybe it's modded or something.  Personally, I'd go with the peace of mind that comes with buying new.  The PSP is a solid system and worth owning.  I just wouldn't go with that one.  Which one of those games is the one you like?  Make suer you couldn't buy it anywhere else for $5 or something.  PSP games are pretty cheap, nowadays.

Looks like the 'Watch Live TV' part is in the top box which for ebay usually means it was default info based on the product. As someone who buys and sells on Ebay, it gives you a bunch of default info to include on your sale that is just general product information. I didn't even read that area, just the bottom.

I thought the case, ratchet and clank, and the shooters seemed like good games. Then considering that its already $30 less than a new model and this is described as being in such good condition, it seemed like a good buy.

Also, our buying habits seem different. I don't mind buying used off ebay when its described so well with a user that has a good rating.



Well that's understandable.  Like I said, the console is a solid buy.  If you like the games and the price, what do you have to lose?



Looks like a good deal to me, Size Matters and Battlefront 2 are decent games imo.

YOINK!!



No, as I have a completely different taste than the guy who posted this offer.

If I wouldn't already own a PSP and planned to buy a used one which comes with games, I'd search for a offer which included one or several of the following ones: 
Jeanne D'Arc, Ys Seven, Patapon, Locoroco, Lumines, Half-Minute Hero, Lunar: Silver Star Harmony, Star Ocean remakes, SMT Persona 3 Portable, What Did I do to Deserve This, My Lord? 2, Monster Hunter Freedom...even the PSP remakes of ~20 year old classics like Lemmings or Sid Meier's Pirates would interest me more than 6 of the 7 games listed in this offer (the only one from that offer that would interest me is R&C).

LOL - but that is why there is bidding!



You should wait for TGS they might announce a price cut or something.

id buy psp merely for the great homebrew games.  and you can watch youtube and live tv on a psp, you just have to download the right applications and know how to copy and paste things into folders on the psp.  i personally think its better than the ds merely for the versatility of it all.  you can play old school nintendo and sega games on there and even ps1 and n64 games if you know what you are doing as far as emulation goes.  i wouldnt pass it up.
