Just bought a PSP and need some expert advice

Jedah Doma · May 18, 2006

My buddy got a PSP a couple months back. He never had a video game system before. So, he bought it for the UMD movies and T3H ROMZ. Well, he had a PSP with some old firmware but a dead pixel. So, he returned it and got a PSP with 2.5 on it. So no roms for him. Then he heard about UMD movies being stopped by most movie companies. So he said he wanted to sell it and I said I was interested.

So, he said he would sell me his PSP, Megaman X: Maverick Hunter, Untolds Legends, X-Men Ledends 2, a 512 stick of memory, case for the PSP and UMDs for $150. I said deal. So I sold the two crappy games (Untold Legends and X-Men 2) and got $30 out of them. Yes I searched for these questions seperately, but thought I would get more bang for my time with one big question filled post. So, here's my bag of questions:

1. I dig the screen, but what's the best way to protect the screen from smudges that you've used?

2. How is the Logitech case I've seen around (the one that can go around your shouler and has room for 3 UMDs)?

3. I'm torn between getting Darkstalkers, Ridges Racers, Capcom Collection remixed, Megaman Powered Up, and Street Fighter Alpha 3. I know they are all good, but suggestions on the best title out of the pack would be great.

Well, that's about it. Thanks for the help in advance. :buttrock:

1.Sell it.

2. To me.

3. Cheap.

That's my advice.

LOL, I wish I could, but I would then kill myself for such and act.

1. I've never heard of the "Sell it" screen protector. I'll look into it.

2. Does this "To me" case have any other options the Logitech one doesn't?

3. Well, I would hope the game I wanted was cheap.

Thanks for the help.

Get the Hori screen protector.

They even have one that cover the whole front part of the PSP.

1) Hori Screen protector like Ray 7 said, I made the mistake of buying a screen protector knock off once and I was so happ when I later bought the Hori one

2) It's pretty good, I say go grab one

3) Ridge Racer but I figure you'd just get Darkstalkers since your boy Jedah's in it

i wont get darkstalkers unless you have the d-pad cover that came with stz3. the game complete shit without it(trust me i had it at launch and i so wanted the controls to be good :crying:

) get stz3 from the capcom website to get the d-pad cover. if u cant get stz3 then get RR it alot of fun(i played that game to death when i first got it) it also has some great tunes on there 2

No way dood! There's an actual mod you can do to improve the HORRIBLE Dpad that sony puts into the psp. Search Gamefaqs.com ! Darkstalkers is insane after you have a responsive pad. Yea i sold it when i got it from launch. Mod = me rebuying the game.

I think i'd go with :

Darkstalkers
SFA3

the megaman is nice and dandy buuuut i don't know if it has the replay value of a fighter. Unlocking, mastering blah blah blah

You can use ROMs still as well, you just need GTA...

And the Megaman PSP game is pretty fun... PSP has been collecting dust lately, waiting for the new Ghouls 'n Ghosts game...

Thanks for the help so far. I'll look into the Hori screen protector and will probably pick up Ridge Racers (as from what litte I've seen and played looks awesome). I picked up the Logitech case from Wally World (it was on sale for about $8) and it works great and is sturdy as hell. Thanks for the advice and keep it coming.
