    I haven't played a handheld game since Golden Sun - are there any RPGs of that calibre on the PSP? If there are I would definitely be interested in this, if I could put films from my computer onto it too.

    Taking wifi out seems like a bad idea

    I really don't get it, does taking out the wireless really make it that much cheaper to produce?

    Can't complain but it seems like a stop-gap solution to compete with the 3DS which can now be had for £115 in a lot of places.

    Haven't used the wifi on mine once. Don't see a point in it, it won't work with any access points around here.

    I'll stick to gaming on my phone when out and about, I've no need or desire for anything more these days. My original PSP and DS just ended up collecting dust after the initial novelty wore off.

    Might work out as a cheap replacement for my PSP which refuses to charge from the mains (only way I can charge it at the moment is by plugging a USB multi charger into both the power jack and the USB mini data port on the PSP).

    I actually used the WIFI quite often on my PSP1000. Especially PSP Internet radio, which had a HUGE selection of good trance stations.

    I think that went the way of the dodo on the last gen PSP if not before.

    Which is why I asked as...

    Seems to suggest that is should, the lack of Wifi is gonna turn it into an expensive paper weight.

    Yes, it takes UMD discs (kinda has to really), which is re-assuring for those of you who
    stockpiled UMD films 5 years ago hoping they'd be the next MiniDisc.
