BTW who has bought a PSP and is it worth the cash???
It seems like to buy you need 350 sing for base model no game - Then if you want a game look for 60-110. Carry case 20 sing and memory cards start weighing in at 150 sing for 512 mb
So all in all to get started your looking at roughly 610 sing - You only need to add a bit more and you can have a computer that does stuff...
Anyone got any opinions on this as I am thinking about buying one???

I actually ordered the Value pack from Amazon.com and it was the cheapest at 250USD. Even after shipping, it was still cheaper than in SG, and the DVD region coding is 1, so i can order lots of movies from amazon if i get too lazy to rip/dl them.
Be aware that japan, US and SG sets have different movie region codes.

Games - you can get... erm... well, you can find some on the web and put them on your memory stick.
1GB Memstick Duos are 140SGD. If you paid 160 for 512 MB, you got ripped off.

That's for the PS2. We're referring to the PSP.

I bought one over the weekend and by the time they get ya for the valkue pack, a decent sized memory card for movies and music and a couple of games the price was enough to hurt leh.
BTW can you explain more on this movie region code thing? If you get a movie from the internet and load it into the memory will it always work - How to go about lah???

Oh, in that case, yeah, it'll work. I'm referring to the UMD discs.

Just remember not to flash your PSP software to the latest 2.0 version for a lot of these apps to work.
Oh, just remember not to look on BT sites for PSP games to copy onto your memorystick and run from there. I'm sure you would not be interested in the significant money savings this can involve, not to mention how fast the games load off the memorystick compared to a UMD. I, of course, would never recommend such a thing since it would be piracy, and this is not a good thing. I would also never say that I have many games on my memorystick and they all work perfectly. Nope, never.
*cough*
