Hi, Thanks for you indepth response. I'm looking forward to gettin the PSP. I actually went to get one tonight but the doors were shut 5 mins before closing! BestBuy will have to see me tomorrow I guess! Anyways, I do have some questions about the firmware....Is it better to stay at 1.5,2.0, or upgrade to 2.5 and do these upgrades cost money? I want to be able to go between homebrew apps in 1.5 but also use the features of 2.0 - what do you think is a good idea
? Basically I want the PSP to be my little media manager for videos and music primarily. Plus, I'm all about compressing compressing compressing so that I can fit as much as possible on this badboy...the 4gb hard drive sounds nice but I can't afford such a thing right now. I guess a 1gb memory stick will have to do huh? Now, does this memory stick have everything stored on it, including the portal? Also, how do I get ahold of the X5 portal? Last but not least, any homebrew app sites for the PSP you would recommend? Thanks!
