Hi Chrissy and all. I'm majorly behind on this list. It's funny that you bring up the psp I was doing some looking around on craigslist and other places and saw some systems people had up for sale for what seemed to me to be pretty good prices for what you got. I am actually thinking about getting another portable system to go along with my good old Atari Lynx. Since a few of you seem to have a pretty good experience with the psp I have been doing some reading on gamefaqs and elsewhere about it and it definitely seems to be a really cool system. I really like the ability you seem to have to do other things besides game playing like watch movies and listen to music on it. Of course the info on there is not going to help us in terms of ways to work the system and play games which is what this list is great for. I know a couple of you have talked about doing some podcasts on mainstream consoles and I think this would be really cool both for people who may not have considered playing on a mainstream console and for those of us who are not real familiar with the good and bad points of the new ones.
For now though, if anyone would like to give me some comments either on or off list about the psp in particular I would be really interested to hear them. I am interested to hear if you are able to start games by yourself with or without sighted assistance, ditto for playing music and/or movies. Also, are you able to save and return to games by yourself and if not, how big of a deal is this to you? Last, do you frequently have to mess with the system settings, those seem pretty extensive according to gamefaqs, and I'd imagine you would need sighted assistance to get very far in them. If this is just an occasional thing I could deal with it but if it is something you have to deal with all the time that would definitely be a negative factor as I do not always have sighted people around to help me fiddle with my game. By the way, when I say are you able to do these things without sighted assistance, I realize that there is no accessibility per se and that some memorization of button presses and so forth is necessary this is fine and I am not intimidated by that so long as it is possible. All other comments either positive or negative are welcome, these are just some basic questions that I have that will help me decide if I want to get into this or not. The prices for various packages people are selling I've seen pretty much range between $100 and $200 depending on what they are including in the deal. I can afford to spend that much but nonetheless it is a serious amount of money to me and not something I want to spend if this is not going to be something that I will be wanting to use quite a bit. Of course the best thing will be for me to actually get my hands on a psp and try it out and I am working on that as well, I'll bet one of my nieces or nephews either has one or they have a friend who does. I am looking at used systems in order to save money. Looking forward to hearing from some of you about this.
