Folks...
Tax refund is on the way so I'll have some cash to waste...
I am very tempted to get a GP2X Espically seing how good the NEO-GEO emulation runs....
GP2X Advert NEO-GEO
Anyway its Linux based and fingers crossed later version of the emulators get better. Some are a bit shitty at the moment.
You can just plug the GP2X into a TV and play on the big screen..
Their Site
Anyone tried one yet?
....then there is the PSP...........
ermm.. yeah.

Personally I'd go with the PSP because I don't have one and everything you can do on the GP2X, you can do... without one... but it's still undeniably awesome. If I had money to burn I'd almost certainly get one.

Well I probably only wanna try out Metal Gear Ac!d and play WipeOut Pure on the PSP...
I'm happy with the PS2 versions of all the Sony titles anyway..
So I guess its down to the Emulators.
I also need a new portable music device. Portable video is a bonus.
I think PSP uses those Sony Memory sticks.. vs. the SD Cards of GP2x..
Which ones cheaper? SD cards I think. (ebay)

i have a psp.. none of the games i bought really kept my attention for more than a couple days (but that's true of just about every game i buy lately..)
anyway, if you're into writing your own games, the gp2x is probably what you want.

I've used a PSP and I can safely say it sucks. Who really needs a portable ps1 so you can re-buy your dvds on a useless new format? Not to mention shitty battery life, speakers and easily scratchable 'big' screen. Like surfing the internet? Now you can spend hours typing in urls and text slow as fuck! awesomesauce
I know fuckall about gp2x but I wouldn't want to spend $200 on a psp.

PSP is awesome, but you know what is defenitly better?
The Nintendo DS-Lite. Much better system, and Iam a sony guy for sure.............
So many great games out for it already, so many more great ones coming out soon, and its such a great system, innovative and quite amazing.

i got a psp,never use it anymore, takes ages to type anyhting on the browser so never gets used, only decent game is wipeout pure (awesome) and gta, lumines is fun too. homebrew is interesting but sony try to block it, cos they make all their money on the software not hardware, so dont want people doing their own software.
UMD discs are terrible and battery life is dire. there seems to be no decent games for it now, there are about 4/5 games worth getting. avoid.

Alot of these early versions of the emulators on the GP2x make me nervous.
I say to myself "Is this gonna be running at full speed some day or what?"
YouTube up the GP2x playing Atari Jaguar, the Amiga runs a bit sluggish too.
But the Neo-Geo + Genesis was the big sell point for me.
Doesnt the PSP stretch the screen when running emulators? Not keen on hunting down a 2nd hand PSP to get the right Fireware version and buying Sony portable media.
Nintendo DS hmm.. not a too bad idea... Not as powerful as PSP but looks like fun! And that new Castlevania nearly made me jump the gun and buy one.
Fark why dont I just buy them all then huh?

Buy'em all for sure! hehehe....
I took a good look at the PSP but I personally made the right choice for the DS Lite and I couldnt be happier with it. Its really an awesome handheld.

Hey, I have a DS and a PSP and honestly I get far more use out of the PSP! It's just far better suited for action and racing titles- better graphics and the bigger screen also help.
The PSP seems to cop a lot of flack, but from my experience it has a comporable number of good games to the DS, and is certainly not an unwise purchase
