    I got a white one in Game yesterday and it has 1 dead pixel on the left hand side (out of main view).

    It doesn't bother me that much and I think 1 or 2 is normal for any LCD.

    Get yourself some loco roco. It's happier than even Katamari.

    I may get Killzone myself along with Tekken.

    Tekken brings back memories. :)

    Nobody has mentioned Exit yet, and this makes me sad. It's the bestest game out on the PSP. Check it out!

    3)The games I was planning on getting are Ridge Racer 2 (main reason for buying PSP, got to love that game ever since RRT4), Tekken: Dark Resurrection and GTA: Vice City Stories...
    ...
    Yay/Nay?, I think the three of those will do nicely, Ideally I'd like a quality FPS but I'll have to wait until Sony pull something out of their ringpiece.

    The original Ridge Racer is worth thinking about, not that much has changed in the second version and the first is bound to be much cheaper at this stage.

    Definitely go for the other games you listed. Medal of Honour Heroes is a pretty decent FPS...probably the best on psp.

    i've looked at it and would like to have a go but the chances of me paying €50 for something which will most likely be a novelty game next to GTA and Killzone are slim...

    Whatever about Killzone, GTA is a console game shoehorned onto a handheld. If you want to play a game that's an absolute perfect fit for the PSP - in terms of use of that lovely screen, controls, structure, play-time, downloadable content, EXIT is that game. It's not some throwaway novelty game, it's one of the best designed games in years.

    Must give exit a go. Never really got why GTA is so popular. Sure it's fun but I've played far better games. I usually find myself forcing myself to play them just for the sake of finishing them (especially LCS).

    I tried out Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins today.. man.. it does look great, it brings me back to the days or zx spectrum and commodore, but it has to be the most frustrating game on PSP !

    I can't even get past the first level! :P

    Come on it's not that tough. Sure you die a lot but you get more than enough lives and hit points to finish each level and then you save after each one.

    Have to say I started it on the hardest level were the damage and lives are just like in the old games. I've 1 credited Gn'G in the arcades and on the megadrive and have finished Super Gn'G so thought it would be no problem. Way too many respawning bad guys! it was back to the start for me at the far more manageable medium difficulty.

    i dunno, maybe we're spoilt these days but i agree with netman - its most difficult game i've played this year (played it on the gba too and brought it back) but the psp version looks great :D

    I played all of the old arcade versions and the home versions on the c64, snes etc. I think this one is a lot harder than any of them. Some times you're in the middle of a jump when the screen fills with spawning enemies and there's no escape. There's a line that a game crosses when it is just too frustrating to be fun and I think this has gone way over it. That 3rd level in the castle when you're floating about had me pulling my hair out. Took me ages to get past it.
