PSP worth buying?

[mushussu]

Hi ,
Living at the bottom of the world here in tasmania I cant get hold of a PSP through a local store till september 1 (If I Basically pay for it now).
Yeah I could order online, ebay, etc . But warranty support (especically with a sony product) is lacking , EB games over here is great for returns so I`ll be going there (one of my kids(4year old) dropped a gba (3 day old)in the toilet , I told the truth and they still replaced.

Anyway back to topic.

Are they worth it.? $400au about games about $70
Do they Break? (can kids)
Any stand out games?
Any emulators on the way for say ps1 game backups?
Prolly not a good question but I heard something about mame psp? would there be any legal stuff if there is a version?

I imported mine form Canada for +- 400 AUD (converted to AUD)

It is well worth it, even if I dont have any game for it yet (too expensive for import, gonna wait for euro games) I like watching movies/animes on it and playing with emulators

for ps1 games, I dont think that will happen because there already so many ps1 remake you can buy for psp, but well some people like challenges, so one day you might a skilled programmer doing such a emulator for fun -_-

the psp itself is strongly built, I accidentaly dropped it from the table, which was +- 1 m high but it didnt take any damage, when playing it is better to use the included cord, so that if it falls off your hands it wont fall to the floor because its attached to your hand

yes there is a Mame emulator, although many roms have a big filesize (20 mb +) some older not

if you want to play mame make sure you have a 1.0 OR 1.5. mame isnt that good yet for psp, try neogeo cd or other emus are getting better, ps1 is way off., but to tell you the truth i wouldnt give it to the kids...
