I just completed probably my fifth hour playing around with my new toy. First thing you notice right off the bat: Its fucking small man:

After taking it out of the box and admiring the space-age look and feel of it, I put the battery in and left it to charge… Charged it for about an hour and started it up. The screen is fucking cool! Its is SHARP. Crystal clear and (so far) no dead pixel problem that I keep hearing about in forums everywhere. As soon as I dropped the included Spiderman2 UMD video disc in the slot, it fired up:

The sound is also pretty cool. You have a sense of the area via the stereo speakers. Of all the bundled games I got, only Twisted Metal is worth playing, and Ive been playing that a lot. The battery life is also great, as after a few hours of play time, the battery is still at 100%. Thats definetely good when you are flying on long flights.

I got it connected to my home’s wireless network in minutes. Although it took fucking long to enter my network key, as I have my network secured. But now that this thing is on the Internet, I wonder how safe it is, I mean, Im sure some 13 year-old kid in Belgium knows how to hack into it and steal… well, I aint got nothing in it. I dont know what I will do with the WiFi though, as it would have been nice if there was a web browser to browse the web with it… I know the Wifi support is for gaming with other freaks on the Internet, rather than to satisfy my Internet porn always e-mailing, work, etc habbit. Couple of negative things so far:
1. The headphones, although stylishly designed, are rather cheap-looking in quality. Even though my iPod’s headphones suck as far as sound quality goes, they are at least well-made.
2. The memory card is only 32MB. Thats nothing. The PSP can store videos, pictures and music in its memory cards, but you cant do shit with 32MBs. So for all those crack-heads that think this is the iPod’s direct competition, I got news for them: the Sony PSP is a game console, nothing more. Unless they stuff a 20 or 40 GB hard drive in there, I dont see this thing ever becoming a portable media center. This is a gaming colsole - nothing more. At least to me. I will still carry my iPod on flights, and will be listening to tunes in that thing, while playing a game on this thing.
3. Lack of videos and games. I cant wait till they release Gran Turismo 4, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and those kinds of games on this thing…
4. Id like to try the AdHoc mode but I dont know anyone else that has a PSP that I can try this out with…
5. Like I mentioned earlier, a web browser would have been nice.

All in all, so far, it works for me so Im happy… But like my pervious experience with Sony products, it might be a matter of time before it breaks! I hope not, as I love this thing!!! Plus I took it with me (ok, to show off!) to lunch and people were staring at it and its definetely got that WOW factor - although I doubt it will get me laid, its not *that* sexy.
