    how much is it? I was looking on EB Games and they only listed psp bundles. Looks like a lot of hype to me, I'm not really into the handheld games.

    It's like $249. It looks cool but not my bag. Plus, the games are pretty weak.

    Yeah, but are the games any good..... or in my case any better than any of the games I am currently playing for Xbox. I have no doubt that the PSP will be good, especially with being able to play movies and audio as well as games. My concern is that if I get one at this point in time I'd likely only use it when I was at home, so the games would need to be more interesting to me than my Xbox games.... which I don't see yet. Maybe when Gran Turismo comes out I'll think about it, but until then I'm going to wait and see what the games are like.

    Um, no they're not. They're not even close to the same size as a DVD (9+GB) so they can't store as much information or resolution. Plus the screen resolution of the PSP is half of what a regular TV can produce.
