Hi there.

My name is Charl, and I live in Cape Town, South Africa.
Tuesday the 26th of July I got my PSP.
It is really amazing!!!!

I bought a Japanese value pack, and last night I upgraded it to v2.0
And it is running really sweetly!
This weekend I'll be trying out the Web Browser, a few wi-fi hot spot I am going to try out.

The first game I bought was Lumines, talk about total addiction! The last game that got me this addicted was Tetris. It is really like Tetris on Acid.

Next in line I'll be buying Wipeout, and then Untold Legends. Games here in SA are really overpriced, so I'll be importing them. The official launch date here is only the 4th of September, but people who work in the industry doubt stock will come in. South Africa is not really a high priority zone for Sony. Maybe we're luckly. But till then I'll be happy with importing from Japan. Currently you'll pay for a game here about $80, mad I say.

So yeah that is it about my PSP.

As for me... well I'm a firm believer in the anti-culture... and I'm a consumer whore... which explains my purchase of a PSP. But I love it.

and I have money to spend on such things, so why not.

So if anyone wants to ask me anything about me.... feel free... I'm pretty much an open book.

Cheers,

Welcome to the forums, and congratulations on your 2.0 update. God knows with my Dial-up it would take FOREVER to download.

(My reccomendation is don't get Untold Legends. It's only fun for a little bit. Save your money for something like Coded Arms, or a racing game of some kind.)

Thanks for the tip....
So what are the really good English RPG options on PSP?
Or would one have to wait for FF?

A really good English RPG on the PSP would be Final Fantasy 6 using Snes9X. However, as you have upgraded to Firmware 2.0 you won't be able to play it.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy your stay

Hi, and welcome to the forum. I disagree I think Untold Legends is a great game I been playing it for about a week and I havent got bored.

Luke · 07-29-2005, 05:30 PM

Untold Legends is less of an RPG, more of a linear hack and slash.

In August, they will be releasing the RPG PoPoLocrois for the PSP. It's hand-drawn animations looked really impressive, and I'll be buying it. Also, look for the game Generation of Chaos. It's almost like Final Fantasy Tactics, but with huge armies and Generals with super-natural powers.

yes! I read about Generation of Chaos earlier. It looks so damn cool.
