joeygoey
I just buy my games at the moment, i have Wipeout which i pais £28 for and Ridge Racer which cost £34.99.

STYLEZ

Spiderman 2 movie UMD
Need For Speed UMD
Lumines UMD
Mercury UMD
Untold Legends UMD
Twisted Metal UMD
Smart Bomb UMD
Wipe Out Pure UMD

I don't want to buy any movies for the PSP, because I feel they are to expemsive and
I can't play them on my TV sad.gif
I rather buy the DVD and re-encode it to MP4 format smile.gif
NRGFORCE
ohmy.gif Where did you get the money to buy all that stuff?
You must be rich tongue.gif

I have 6 games on UMD... there is no Sleep mode when playing ISOs which would make at least a few games totally unplayable (MGA! leaps to mind)
Bezerker
Most of these games i purchased before they started making launchers, NBA was on ebay for $9, and since Gamerush gives at least $22 for all psp games, i can make a profit, lol. Death Jr i bought just because there isnt a way to boot the iso yet. I was going to buy MC3, THUG & Medievil, but ill soon be getting a 4gig stick, so iso size wont be a factor.

I have
Rengoku
Wipeout Pure
Hot Shots Golf
NBA
Lumines
Mercury
Death Jr
Spiderman 2 (movie)
Godsmack Live (movie)
32mb stick
512mb stick
1gb stick

ping, you dont need sleep mode with MGA, you can save in the middle of a level and start back there next time you play the game.
Colicab
Yep so far Ive bought :

1x PSP Value Pack (Jap)
1x Wipeout Pure
1x Coded Arms
1x THUG 2
1x Scandisk 512mb Card
1x UMD Wallet
1x USB Connector
1x Logitech 2 way earphone dongle

yeah, that's true... I did that before I discovered the wonders of sleep mode though and it's just not the same.
I'm loving the button soft reset with Virtua Tennis... It cuts both ways.

I was wrong... I have 7 games not 6... 4 at launch due to EB bundle...then 3 more in the last 6 months. Though the last one I purchased was Midnight Club which happend about 2 weeks before I discovered how to load coded arms through a loader.
nephilim
I think like most, I buy and use ISO. So far I bought:

PSP value pack (jap)
Sandisk 1gig stick

Hot shots golf
Wipeout
Ridgeracer
NBA Street
Lumines
Death Jr

4 of those I bought before I got the stick. I bought Hotshots after playing the ISO because it's so damn good. I also bought Death Jnr because I thought it was going to be fun. erm. Can't say I like it much tho sad.gif

At the moment I tend to have Metal Gear Acid, Burnout Legends and Puzzle Bobble on the stick. I may purchase Burnout, though, because it seems to be worth it.
sgtZipper
Cool there are still ppl buying games! ohmy.gif
I'm goin to buy Burnout Legends next week dry.gif so I have 2 racing games.... but I really love burnout:P

I'm planning to buy Fifa 06, maybe GTA PSP, Mortal Kombat Deception, the Con and Daxter.
A wireless Router and a girlfriend.

After that I'm poor and live on the streets beggin for money to buy more games, though my battery wont last long dry.gif

I bought:
Logitech Playgear Case (the hard case thingie)
Logitech Playgear Stealth earbuts
Sandisk Memorystick Pro DUO 512 MB
Ridge Racer (you already knew that)
nephilim
I must admit, I am also thinking that GTA will be a purchase... I can imagine it'll be pretty sizable and perhaps *not* the sort of game to rip bits out of.
sgtZipper
Hmm, so ripped games are missing something? blink.gif
nephilim
where on earth did you get that idea? "rip" just means that the cover was torn, in transit.
sgtZipper
lol, my small brain's bad tongue.gif
davidwatson
I have to buy games cos i own a 1.52 UK PSP, but even when this downgrader gets finished i will still buy orig games cos i like the covers. I have 2 DVD burners yet i buy all orig DVD's.

Copies are naff, they look sh*te they don't last half as long and even printed covers don't look no where near as nice on a book shelf!!

The UMD's are expensive at the mo, but after (dare i say it) Crimbo they'll start to fall!!

Ohh i forgot i have;

Midnight Club 3
Colin McRae Rally 2005 Plus
SAW (Movie)
Spiderman (Movie)
a Madcatz PSP pack including Leather cover UMD Holders and some louder earphones (as the sony supplied ones are rubbish)

I had Metal Gear Acid (bought at TESCO) but GAME very kindly let me trade in a FULL price for Colin McRae!! (i'll be buying games from GAME from now on)

Next purchases;

GTA
A stand with speakers

but then i've only had it a little over a week wink.gif
kyogic
seems like a lot of people got the 512 and then the 1 gig. lol. dont you all wish we just had a 2 gig. honestly i would trade the worth of these 2 just to have it.
Ax_Dude
I ordered my PSP from Japan afew months back because i didn't want to wait for the Australia release (Also i wanted to play homebrew on it)

I have

1x Psp value pack
1x Essentials pack (i like the way stores weren't selling PSPs but where selling their accesories and games month before their release)
1x Metal Gear Ac!d
1x Lumines (i certainly got my moneys worth here. i've played this one too much)
1x Coded Arms (first person shooter in the palms of my hands... its fun)

Stuff i have not purchased (and why)

- Ape Escape
I didn't like it to tell you the truth. Never been too big a fan of the ape escape games. Just personal choice really.

- Bleach (want to buy)
The only reason i've not yet ordered a copy of this is im waiting to see if its coming in english. Love the game and its got me wanting the anime. Oh so pretty. and cell shaded <3

- Darkstalkers
I only got this to relive glory days of going to the fish n chips store as a kid. They used to have a darkstalkers machine there. Its just not the same. ;_;

- Dead to rights
Gameplay is fun, storyline is REALLY fucked up i hear. I was tempted to buy it but i want to see how it goes multiplayer first.

- fafner (want to buy)
Same with Bleach, i had a look at this game. And i like Mechs, i cant wait for the armored core game. But i dont understand japanese and this game has alot of dialoge. So thats this out.

- Ghost in the shell (want to buy)
Havn't got it working yet. But i really want to give this one a look. Im a large ghost in the shell fan.

- Kollon
Yeah this one.... it umm.... Kinda like lumines... i think.
I dont remember : (

- medievil Resurrection
I had the original on PSX YEARS ago, i've not played it for that reason. I've already finished it (In theory) and unless i feel the spark to re-live glory days i think i'll give it a miss for now

- Mercury
It seems fun, But the analoge stick just isn't as defined as i'd like to play this game.

- NBA2K5
Im not a big sports game person, never was. I find it much more fun to actually play the games. Although i gave this one a look purely to see how it ran on the psp.

- Smart bomb
Im not a fan. Its got some nice visuals and movies which led me to believe it might be an adventure game. but so far. from what i can see. it just involves defusing stupid bombs with basic problem solving.

- Starsoldier (want to buy)
I do love games like this. and i love the way they make you turn the PSP to play it. Taking full advantage of its large screen. Beautyful and i'll purchase as soon as i see it in stores around here.

- Untold Legends
Ugh, When i saw the box cover and pictures online i thought (Hey that could be fun) I never did like dungeon crawler games. This one just does not do it for me.

- Wayne Gretzky NHL
another sports game i got to see how it ran. no other real reason.

- Wipeout Pure(want to buy)
Always was a fan of wipeout. one of the few racing games i'll play.
BrettB7400
I buy my games.
Roguemeister
I could cause a huge stir and say I don't buy my games!
...
...
...
I will then wait for the backlash and then say

Hah, but I rent them! Been renting games for ages from a website (would've put where but I don't want to break rules advertising) and I tend to find that most of them aren't worth 30-40 quid!

Is well worth the 9.99 that I pay each month.

I am tempted to get GTA though, even though I've not rented it yet.
lovlee boy

If you have a job you can make about 2000 a week so u dont really have to be rich plus the games are only 50 but i play isos of my games and i download isos i hate sony the psp is already down the drain they stoped production of it so i dont really care

buying games wont hurt, i think its a lot cooler because you have those original UMD cases that you could display in your room, hehe.
Peteman
I buy all my games. I'm interested in trying ISO's, but they don't work on 2.6 yet.

i don't think you will ever be able to play isos on 2.6 unless they make a downgrader
alley

if anyone has a link that would help me with the above i could sure use it.

god of war
megaman maverick hunter x
nfl street unleashed
poplocrois

im-still-waiting
i buy dem 2 supposrt sony cause if no1 buys games den der gonna stop makin psps nd/or psp games nd sun even d ppl who dnt buy der games will have nuthin 2 play
raptastic
when the downgrader for 2.71 comes out i have a stratagy
1. If you have purchased games sell them for $5.00 les than you bought it for on ebay.
2.Downgrade to 1.5
3. and then download the iso's of the games you sold.
fo0ob
if you want games just dl isos (assuming you have 1.5 fw)
save you alot of money

if you want to have your psp+all your isos on the go then either buy lots of mem sticks or portable hd?
if you play mostly at home just use irshell and keep isos on your comp then wifi stream them.
pepsidude32
Here is what I have

1X PlaystationPortable $149 after mail-in-rebate refurbished www.tigerdirect.com
1X 32MB Memory Stick Duo - Came with it
1X Sampler Disc - Came with it
1X 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo - $39.99 after instant savings and MIR at radioshack

Games---

Pursuit Force Demo - Recieved in mail
NCAA Football 07 - $39.99
Review - Fun Game. Main reason I bought it was for online play. The game says featuring ESPN on the cover but you see nothing related to ESPN playing through regular modes but when you go online in the lobby there is a ESPN sports ticker and an ESPN radio broadcast every 20 MIN. Its really fun online but you will hate all the noobs who quit or when you lose conection. There is some problems with the collision detection and some other glitches (i.e. the ball is marked at the 38 yard line but in replay you can clearly see it is on the 41) Another great feature is instant replay. This game does what any football game should do and executes it perfectly for the psp.

Lemmings - $39.99
Review - Lemmings is a fun puzzle type game that has been around for years. I had never heard of it until it came out on PSP though. I bought it not really knowing what it is but this is the basic idea. You tell this little creatures (lemmings) to dig, build, climb, float, bash, and mine until they create a path to the exit. But there is traps that will kill your lemmings along the way. The object is to get a certain number of lemmings to the exit to complete the level. One feature I would like to point out is the online mode that allows you to share your user created levels with other people, and rate other peoples levels. It's certainly a fun game but it will feel kind of repetative. I'm not sure I would recomend it at the $40 price point but jump at it when you see a price drop.

NFL Street 2 Unleashed - $29.99
Review - Just like NFL Street 2 on the PS2 only there are a few extra mini-games. Other than that it is exactly the same. There is wireless ad-hoc but no infrastructure mode which is kind of disapointing. But for any football fan this is a must buy for the psp.

Coded Arms - $14.99
Review - This FPS is pretty fun. They execute the controls perfectly on the psp. But, if you don't like them you can change them, you can custimize every button to every control which is a neat feature. It includes ad-hoc wireless play with a few game modes. I recomend this one.

Burnout Legends - $29.99
Field Commander - $39.99


I recomend the last 2 as well but don't really feel like writing any more. Can someone help me get some software that lets me rip movies from my dvd's because I can't figure out how to do it. Thanks

Movies

Pirates of the Caribbean : The Curse of the Black Pearl

National Treasure

Fantastic Four

S.W.A.T.

Spiderman 2
linkinparkpotato
I buy all my games because I just like to own all my games. (Sometimes I'll download an ISO, but if I like it I'll actually buy the game) Turns out that I've spent $1150 on just PSP games alone. ohmy.gif
allsorts111
Since last year i have brought 9 games from retail-HMV,GAME, VIRGIN MEGASTORES.
Since last year i have downloaded/ordered/brought roughly 100 ISO's-USA,JAP AND UK GAMES.
-However, at the moment i have firmware 2.71 and i'm still waiting on a down grader. Although when i degrade I'm still going to continue to buy games from retail. (call me mad at £30-340 a time).
sumwununknown

NFS Rivals
Syphon Filter
NBA Street
sanedrac
i buy all my games. so far i have infeted, GTA:LCS, Metal Gear Acid, Splinter Cell, and some other ones
Ssgt Workman
I buy all my games. No where close to rent PSP games to try out before I buy though. I rely on game reviews to keep from buying a lemon. I was thinking of trying one of those online rental sites for game rentals. I just upgraded to firmware 2.8 and downloaded three of the demo games. I have bought a couple of games new, and a few either used of on the GH list. Movies I typically make my own and store them on my 1gb card. I did buy a couple of them when I can find a good deal on them on Ebay or used. If I can pick them used for 5-8 bucks then I do so. So far I have:

Socom:FTB
MLB 06: The Show
Street Fighter Alpha
Hot Shots Golf
Loco Roco DEMO
Kazui DEMO
WTS 06 DEMO
Mercury Meltdown DEMO
Fast & the Furious UMD
Blackhawk Down UMD
Spiderman 2 UMD
Kingdom of Heaven UMD
