Not bothered myself, I just got rid of my last console as I just dont use them anymore. What do you want one for? They are a good toy, and I know a few people who have them. Lots of functionality and gizmos as you would expect from Sony.

If you just want it for playing games on, wait for the PS3 and get a HDTV

From the ones I have seen they are great little gadgets and are MP4 players as well! If you want to play games on the move or want something portable, theres nothing better on the market right now!

excellent toy.

santa bought me one for xmas, quality isn;t that far off a ps2 for games and it's obviously got mp3 mp4 etc etc......take mine to work when i know i haven't got many motors coming in, stand it on my bench and watch starwars makes the day go a bit faster

if you get one with frimware version lower than 2.0 you can play "backup" games downloaded from your pc

my kids have one.

graphics are really good, and the umd movie disks are very watchable.

its also got wireless internet built in with a half decent web browser - if you are near a wireless access point

that includes 2.0 as you can degrade the firmware back to 1.5 or whatever. just get a whopping big memory stick for the price of a couple of games then you can run all the game in the world for nowt!

They were great money makers before christmas! My dad went to Japan with work and one of his friends bought 8! 4 of which he already had buyers for, and 4 of which he stuck on ebay. Made £100 off each of the ones he put on ebay

Quite a few people have them in school and they are great, although you should find somewhere to lock it away from yourself if you plan on doing any work, its quite adictive!

Agree with all the positive comments above.
I just bought one on a whim and am amazed at what it can do.
It's a games console, an MP3 player, an MP4 video viewer, a photo album and the graphics are amazing!
