Sorry to make this separate from Shockwave's DS/PSP thread but that one is already 5 pages big and the specific questions I have weren't answered in there as far as I can tell.

First: how do you transfer files to/from your PSP if you don't have a wireless network going at your house? The GameStop file said something about "USB connectivity options"--does this mean the PSP unit has a USB slot of some form that I can buy a cable for and connect it to my computer that way?

Second: how expensive are the memory sticks that the PSP uses? I believe they are "Pro Duo" format memory cards, correct? GameStop and Best Buy both have a 2gig one for $30-40, and this seems decent enough.

The reason I ask that second question is that I am considering buying the God of War bundle that comes with the red, Kratos-emblazoned PSP device and the God of War game (which is a solid 40% of the reason I want a PSP to begin with) as well as the UMD of Superbad.

A few folks have recommended the Daxter PSP bundle over the God of War one for new purchasers on account of it having a Family Guy collection instead of Superbad, and coming with a 1gig memory stick. See, I would much prefer the red GoW PSP to the silver one, and I would probably sell the Daxter game back fairly quickly. I may watch the UMDs once or twice but I don't really care for either.

Since both bundles are $200, would it really be worth the hassle to get the Dax bundle with the memory stick and sell the game back for God of War, rather than just buying the GoW PSP which I want more and then buying a seperate 1- or 2-gig memory stick?

1st any Pro Duo memory card will work ,including those by Lexar and San Disk. You can find them dirt cheap with a little internet shopping, or wait until the day after Thanksgiving.

Second, you transfer by mini USB to USB with the PC. Easy connection, you just have to set the PSP mode to USB to make it work.

The bundle is irrelevant unless you want a particular paint job, I myself am fond of the Darth Vader version. UMD video is a completely dead format, so I wouldn't worry about Superbad or the Family Guy ones. If you want them that bad, you can pick them up off e-bay relatively inexpensive.

Here's my two cents...

1. I dunno anything about a wireless network, but mine came with a USB cord that my dog chewed up, so I got one at K-Mart for 8 bucks. If you're just going to be transferring music/pictures then all you have to do is copy them from your computer to the PSP folder. If you're gonna do videos, download WinAVI. It can convert any type of video to MP4 to play on there. Just plug in the USB cable and then do the conversion and it'll transfer over.

The one in the middle is the USB slot.
2. I bought a 4 gig for $70. Trust me, the memory space goes fast, depending on how much you use it and what for. I was gonna buy a SanDisk one which was 4 gigs for $30 but the guy said it wouldn't work with the launch PSP.

For you, get the God of War PSP since you want it more anyway. And you should definitely get a bigger memory stick. Daxter is a pretty fun game too. So if it were me buying this I'd get the Daxter bundle because of the game UMD, and the memory stick. If you got any questions send me a message

thank you all VERY much for the help and information!

No offense Shock, but you can put the Madden bundle up your arse, hahaha. I don't want a blue one and I definitely don't want football BS on my dear sweet PSP.

I think I have decided I will get the red GoW one and just give the UMD to someone after watching it. The memory sticks are nicely cheap, as are the USB cables required.

Do continue to give me your thoughts and opinions if you have them, though! I won't be buying my unit till the end of this month probably.

MDub, thanks for the great picture & explanation. Shock, thank you for your valuable input. You think that "Beats" game is going to be any good?
Does anyone here have a voucher for the Syphon Filter game or has already downloaded & played it? Is it decent?

I actually have heard Daxter on PSP is good, and Crisis Core looks nice as well. But honestly, the only game I'm actually interested in owning & playing on my PSP for now is GoW, I want the unit as an mp3 player and portable media viewer. I might get Space Invaders as well, I played it on my friend's PSP and it was terrific fun.
