Wow. I did a quick search and the Duo goes up to 512mb, and the Pro gets up to 1 gig!

I like the analog stick. You won't like it for the first 30 seconds, then you'll start to get used to it. After about a minute and a half, you'll pretty much have the hang of it, and then it's great. After being annoyed at the lack of analog on the DS, the analog on the PSP is great. I beat my first series on Ridge Racers last night - good stuff.

Edit: Oh yeah, and in the recent days I've decided I want a PSP. That screen is so sexy.

Is the hardware as flawed as it has been made out to be?

There have been alot of rumors that its of sub quality.

Also, do you recomend importing or waiting for the release here.

I am not having any hardware issues - thankfully. I think most of the reports are exagerrated by the fanboys that populate forums, though there are obviosuly some issues for some people.

I would probably recommend waiting until the US launch, unless you've got some disposable income, and you don't mind getting less than 100% out of the game, since there's a fair amount of Japanese in the games. You can easily figure out games like Ridge Racers and Golf if you don't know any Japanese, but you might get frustrated here and there when you accidentally quit a game, or delete a save because you didn't know what the menu option was.

How about the battery life? I know it's better than what we feared, but I still haven't seen any report (other than GAF people stating that it's 5 hours per battery pack).

PS: I'm starting a club. The "No Aaron T." club. Who's with me.

I'm not too sure on the battery life yet, as I've been too busy taking pictures to actually play today. I'll have a report on that soon, but based on last night, I can say that it's probably 4-5 hours, and it's certainly not the 90 minute crap that a few sites said.

You have a virtual boy and a 32x? And a Game.Com?

All three of those were purley to round out the collection. Not that I haven't bought my share of clunkers on accident. 3DO and Sega CD come to mind...
