While being able to take sales away from iPod, since the PSP will be able to do more in the future. Like text editor, so you could put your shopping on it. Also the PSP will be able to translate stuff in the future, plus while it is not running at full power.
It will be next year, so the games will run more smoother. You can also buy a 4GB HDD for it, there is of talk of a PSP2 coming out soon.
Plus more talk has been going around saying there will be a HDD version of the PSP out next year, other then being able to play games. It is a great music device, and an even greater Mobile video device. Which is still the must have device to watch videos on, it is even better then the iPod video for viewing videos.
One more thing PSP also won the best Gadget of 2005 award in Stuff Mag.
Just remembered something else the PSP has a web broswer aswell, plus it will get small webcams soon. With that will bring the chat program for PSP, which Sony are working on.

PSP is worth the money, it is the greatest handheld ever now. Sony has been able to do what many companies have not been able to do, which is become better then the GameBoy brand.

The PSP had a lot of things going for it, but they dropped the ball tremendously. I have one, and have had it since launch, hell I traded in my DS for it. One thing they say though, jack of all trades, master of nothing, and that's the PSP.
Sure it's a powerhouse when compared to the DS, sure I've watched movies on flights and listen to music sometimes. When it comes down to the games, it's severely lacking. I'm keeping mine at 1.5 because I'd rather play SNES, NES, Genesis, Gameboy etc, than say GTA... Sony didn't want you to do that, so they can't take credit for that. If you're looking at real games, then the DS recently trounces it. The back library of the GBA alone is enough to put the DS over the top, but add on the lower price point along with Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Castlevania, Mario and Luigi, whatever else (Nintendogs sold a lot of DS's if I'm not mistaken).
That being said, when MKDS came out, I bought another DS. My psp has been collecting dust since then.
Both are good, DS is just getting my attention right now.

You never no it might be a collectors item in 15 years time, think of the money that it would be worth it. Must say when I got my PSP, i was the first one. To get mine in Woolworths near me, I even waited an hour before it opened. Shame I dropped it while it was spinning and flying like a meter of 2 across the ground.
Then again it lived, its strange the screen scratchs way too easy, but when it falls on the ground. It lives, still blame PSM mag. For making such a bad neck holder for my PSP, then again there was a fault in it.
Which I fixed by giving it a old camera loop hole, which was done around the bit where the holder you get with the PSP. Which can go around you wrist.

I'm sure it'll be fine this time next year (That's what happened with the DS), but right now it's not worth it.

Anyway the games I have for PSP that I found really fun and worth the money:
ATV Offroad Furry Blazin Trails
Metal Gear Ac!d
Grand Theft Auto Liberty city Stories
And I plan to add Socom to that list.
Anyway I thought it was worth the money, and I just love ATV offroad furry. That game just pwns. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Yeah, I said it could with the downgrader. As for games, yeah ATV is fun, AC!D is great, and I like Wipeout... but I wouldn't buy it if it didn't have homebrew.

You can play homebrew on 2.0 without downgrading. There's an EBOOT loader. Granted it doesn't play all homebrew, but most of your emulators will work.

By this time if you buy a PSP you're getting a 2.0, 1.5's can run homebrew/emulators right now. There's a downgrader but I wouldn't want to do that every time I want to go either to 1.50 or from 1.50.
I'm sure it'll be fine this time next year (That's what happened with the DS), but right now it's not worth it.
I actually just picked up a PSP today from Wal-Mart had the A below the 120v on the box and sure enough I got a Firmware v1.50 I looked at Best Buy later and they had a bunch of F and G

I'm going to sell my PSP and get a DS. The only game I liked on PSP was Lumines and I refuse to buy UMD movies for it.
That is outrageous.

If you can afford it, the PSP is definately worth it. The graphics are unrivaled in a hand held device. But it is true, there are still a small amount of great games at this time. However, I'm not impressed with all of the remakes the DS keeps churning out. Hell, I still have my NES and SNES, I don't need to re-buy portable versions of games I've already owned for years. Just play a copy of Ridge Racer on a DS, then play it on the PSP. It's like comparing an 8-track tape to a Super Audio CD, there is no comparison. I say if you want a huge library of sub-par games with horrific graphics at a relatively cheap price, go with a DS. But if you want the most bang for your buck, get a PSP.
Good points.
I might add Homebrew rules.
