You didn't create the poll correctly, first off. Anyway, it would really depend on what you're looking for in a system. Maybe there's a certain game you want, or you would really prefer handhelds, or something. I personally would get an XBOX 360.

No we can't fix it.

And personally, I'd suggest an Xbox 360. I have neither, but I've found that I play home consoles more than portable systems, and that holds true for quite a few people I've known.

Oh, wait, the CORE system? Eesh.

... still better than PSP from what I've seen.

I wouldn't even hesitate to go with the 360.

I don't know, I just believe my PSP was probably the biggest financial waste I've seen on my part. Its collected dust for the last few years.

Xbox 360 ftw by comparison. (Although the PSP is a good storage device)

I only use it for the homebrew right now (emulators, mostly) so ... yeap.

Of course, last time I used it was in July, so...

Yeah, when I originally got mine (emulation was one of my biggest intentions to get one), I went through the whole process of downgrading it and everything, only to see how horrible SNES games ran and even some NES.

But, that was a good year or two ago. I'd imagine the emulators have gotten better?

X-Box 360. No question. Gears of War = win.

A whole bunch of great games are coming out, and it is a pretty damned good system.


Psp has locoroco and a few MGS. That's about it.

I don't want a Premium because:
1. i dont have broadband, so XBOX live is point less
2. i dont really need a hard drive for it ( i have the original XBOX for that purpose.)

Get broadband, get the 360 Premium, get Live. It does rock, and there's just about no excuse NOT to have broadband.

Or you could hack the box and play emulators for just about everything on it. Is there a PSP emu for X360 yet?

You bet your fucking ass it has. With the latest custom firmware, you are able to play PSX ISOs on your PSP, with little to no problems. You have games like GTA, MGS, and Monster Hunter PSP. You a slew of emulators for various consoles, as well as homebrew programs. And eventually, you'll get games like the Final Fantasy Tactics remake. I still don't understand what many people have against the PSP. It's a good system - if you're open minded. In a community so biased for Nintendo, though, my words are probably just falling on deaf ears.

Dont forget the full speed GBA emulator coded from scratch for the PSP that is right now running better for me than VBA is on my computer.

Seriously, it's pretty fucking amazing. I've got over 200 GBA games on my memory stick, and apart from a very select few (yoshi's island), they all run flawlessly at full speed with no frameskip in full-screen mode with interpolation.

Amazing.

Edit - actually, I'll upload a video. Just for the hell of it.

But how much work do you have to go through to get that custom firmware?

Not to mention it's still far more expensive (plus you have to get a memstick duo) than a DS is at the start...

Well, my parents already had a 2gb memorystick duo for their stills camera. I just swapped my 32mb free PSP one around with it.

They never noticed.

And it took not much time to downgrade the PSP, but it was pretty sketchy. One bad move, and it would have been screwed up for good. Luckily everything went alright though.

So basically, it cost me £150 for a console that lets me play homebrew including MP3 players, a DIVX player, a near-perfect GBA emulator and an internet radio program.

Not too bad. Keeps me entertained at school and on long train journeys anyway. I think I have something like 20 albums on there right now, 30 gba games (took a load off) and a few DIVX films I ripped from my DVDs (Die Hard, Clockwork Orange).
