Very good point Liam. I will have to look into the availability of game rentals around here if I do decide to pick up a psp. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's also nice at least here in the US I can rent games from a company called game fly, so I'm able to try out the games and if I like them I can keep them. It works out pretty well for the most part. A lot of gaming is trial and error, but I think it's worth it in the long run.
