Forums - Sony - I need reasons NOT to buy a PSP.

Zuhyc on 24 August 2008

what if they make a GoW PSP 3000 bundle? Think about that while you wait for your psp!

just be wise and pay your bills, save some money and then buy a PSP.

Here's the reason.

1)Put it in your head that you got bills to pay!
2)Ds is better.

 

 In what way is DS better? PSP has better graphics, plays movies/music/photos, they're both cheap. The only thing you could say is better games which is 100% opinion.

its because i can't afford it. rather, i do have the money to buy one, but i can't spare the cost because i've got bills to pay... but that red god of war bundle is calling me like a sexy babe on the street corner, making me want to forget my phone bill for a couple of months...

please help, give me reasons NOT to buy a PSP! please! (that store i go to says they only have fifteen god of war bundles left...)

The PSP is sexy and has awesome games. Burn a hole in your pocket.

Actually, the DS can aswell, the Miracle of the R*DS (I put in a * in case it was a banned topic here). I say don't get a PSP because it's really not a playstation portable, more like a playstation temporary 1.5, because battery life isn't fantastic (enough to get by) and the graphics are in between PS1 and PS2.

Reasons not to buy:

1) It's not very portable, and thus you can play the much better, home consoles at home

2) It had a good run of a few good games, but that seems to have dried up. What's coming is stuff that should have been there earlier on (Kingdom Hearts, FF), aside from those two games, the only other game worth looking at is patapon 2.

I love how you worded that contradictory statement in order to seem not as contradictory. "PSP has no games coming........ except these 3 that ought to be pretty darn good......" I'll admit, there's not a whole lot on the horizon, which sucks if you've had a PSP from the beginning, but if you don't already have a PSP, then you have these three games to look forward to, plus a HUGE backlog of great titles. Why does it matter if they're old if you haven't played them yet? Old or not, wouldn't they still be new to you?

It's like someone who only owned a GC or Xbox last gen was interested in getting a PS2 now and you told them "Well, there's not much of note coming out for the PS2 these days, so you should forget about it." Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. 

 



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

ds doesn't have god of war..

it does have that suikoden game.... shit, now that you mention it, i have to get both a ds and a psp now!....

bills.

 

Forget a PSP then. DS is better and cheaper ;) Suikoden > GoW.

 

While I completely agree that DS's library obliterates the PSP's library, I will have to bring up the fact that all PSone games are playable on PSP. So not only do you have access to the great new games coming for PSP (unfortunately the last two were CCFF7 and GOWCOO), you also have access to hundreds of PSone games on the go.
