I am seriously considering getting a PSP. Yeah I know, the DS is better... Anyways, the real reason I want it is because of the emulation of older systems (NES, Genesis, Super NES, GBA) and I can watch movies on it. Knowing all that, do you guys think I should get it ?
Does anyone have one and use it for emulation ? Are there any other cool features I need to know about ?

Do you have a PS3?
The PSP's interaction with the PS3 is quite remarkable now. You can now store all of your music/movies on your PS3 at home. All you need is an active wi-fi signal, and your can remotely turn on your PS3, access your media from it, and turn it off when you're done.
Nope. I have my heart set on a 360. (Halo, BioShock, Project Gotham, backwards compatibility and the rest of the games I want are on both) That does sound cool though.
A friend of mine has an older PSP and runs an emulator on it. He also put Linux on his PS3 and loves using both. He geeks out on that stuff.
If you buy a new PSP with the latest firmware, I'm not sure if you'll be able to update it with the emulator stuff like you want to. I enjoy my PSP, but I just use it how Sony intended for it to be used - for games on the UMDs.

When you get that 360 don't forget Gears of War. Trust me on this.
Anyone who uses it for emulation, is it as horrible loading as it is for games? I've kind of gone back and forth about buying a PSP for a while, especially now that they've really come down in price. The few games I've played on it, however, have had God awful loading times. Seriously, on a plane back to LA last year the guy next to me had one and was eager to let me play with it whilst he got totally hammered (he was on his way to Vegas). I played Midnight Club and the loading, on many stages, was longer than the game play itself... well over a minute to load an initial stage and going back to the garage was frustrating because every change of option took a huge chunk of loading time. That was probably the worst offender, but it really turned me off on the PSP.
Yeah I thought about loading times too. I was playing MLB 2007 or something and I could have sworn the game crashed but no, it was loading. But then I think of watching movies or playing Super Castlevania or Mario 2 and dang, I want it.
Thanks guys. I am going to check the emulator site.
