I ordered mine aswell.I'm importing it.
The bad news is,
i hear that around 4% of the units sold is malfunctioning.That's around 8000 PSP's.Things like dead pixels,air bubbles under the display,startup problems,UMD player malfunctions and even analog buttons falling off.I hope they fix this,i don't want to eventually get my PSP only to realise it's broken and having to send it back all the way to Japan.

WOW thats pretty cool! I thought they come out next year?

Wow, this is pretty amazing! If I read this right, I may have it already tomorrow. I can't believe it, that would be 5 days after it's japanese release ...
Obviously, I got Ridge Racer with it.
Though I must say Lumines is looking interesting (and addictive) and that might be the next game I order (along with MGS Acid obviously).
Will be keeping you posted. Still waiting for that PSP subforum.

What's the battery life like?
- 2,093
Out of the box, the not charged battery lasted 3 hours. So that's completely in line with what IGN, lik-sang, etc. have been writing. i only just recharged it fully now
its so pretty and stuff like the mp3 player and image viewer (have to have converter software for vid) work so well, that i find myself hoping there will be business solutions available for it too ...

Man I saw one today with the ridge racer game, from what I saw I was impressed. Although the shop were selling them for £400 something.

That's a bit pricey. It doesn't seem worthwhile buying a handheld for a whopping £400.

I know, but it's just came out and it's been imported so most stores that import brand new hardware like that overprice it.
But still, from what I saw of it dayum did it look good for a handheld. Although I don't think i'd buy it myself.

Why can't people be patient and wait for the resonably priced PSP to hit our shores? And having an import system means that you would to be forced to buy import games at import prices. It's a never ending con if you ask me.

I just search on Ebay.co.uk and there are several PSP Value Packs on sale for £350 "Buy it now". I agree with you demon of speed, it's crazy people buying these now for this kind of price, a few months wait and you'll pay 1/2 or less of the price. You won't be the kid everyone on the block envys for that long anyway.

Yeah, I never get why people go out and buy the import system right away for an exorbitant price. Although I think the PSP is multiregion like all the Gameboy systems are so no need to worry about importing games. Actually i'm pretty sure they had PSP games on the shelves at the shop but they also had a Japanese copy of GT for £1 and an American GT3 for a fiver so I was too busy buying those. Now I have a few too many different GT games.

One of my school friends bought the N64 on the release date in 97. It cost a hefty £250 and guess what, it's £150 2 months later. I did the clever thing and waited until it would drop in price. The moral of the story : Good things come to those who wait.
