    ebay.com is your best bet. you should be able to get one for about 350-400 euro with a game

    Prices have dropped at Play-Asia.com and Lik-Sang.com
    both very good importers

    $499 for the Value Pack with Ridge Racers at PA.
    $439 for Value Pack at Lik-Sang.

    I have a Zodiac and as much as I like it, its not even in the same league as the PSP for games. PSP is at least 10x the performance with a bigger (albeit lower res screen) as the Zodiac with the promise of vastly more games (and no, I dont count Palm games as Zodiac games, just talking about Zodiac optimised stuff). The Gizmondo is far too little, far too late.

    I got a Nintendo DS, excellent handheld. Metroid Prime is superb, pity it is only a demo, can't wait for it to be released.

    The touch pad works suprisingly well with Metroid Prime.

    Yep, it was pretty hot a year ago when released in the US (compare it to the GBA)!

    What its good for is:

    2D Games
    ScummVM support (play Lucasarts Adventure games, ie Sam N Max etc)
    Various Emulators

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,412 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    on http://www.lik-sang.com/list.php?nav=over&category=303&

    do they do free delivery for the psp and which one is the best deal psp value pack or the psp standard pack


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭L5


    I recommend Ridge Racers, Mina no Golf, and Lumines. Any other game you'll have a hard time understanding due to too much japanese content


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 728 ✭✭✭pablo21


    Thx for all the replies folks. Much appreciated! Has anybody ordered from these guys before?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,412 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    nobody really answered my question

    http://www.lik-sang.com/list.php?nav=over&category=303&

    will they do free delivery on the psp

    snoopdog,
    Instead of constantly asking these questions, why don't you check these things yourself? Seriously...

    No free shipping as far as I can see.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,181 ✭✭✭✭Jim


    Theres about a million (7) threads on the GAMES forum about the PSP.
    I'm sure most questions have been asked already there.

    Take a chill pill. You have to admit you ask a lot of questions on things you can easily find out yourself...

    You're not a very nice person.

    I went with Play-Asia, they had them in stock, immediate shipping (New Years Eve). Will be getting in the next day or so (RR bundle). Shipping was €28, but does that really matter considering the cost of the units? :rolleyes:
