i have a gp2x and im very happy with it for what it is. the sound is dissapointing i must say, but you never seem to be able to have EVERYTHING in one system :( from what ive seen of the psp, the gp2x screen is second only to sonys machine.

The PSP screen is great for slow games/3D games and photos, as it's sharp, but it ghosts like all hell, so it's not so great for 2D.
Example: You ever play Deception 3 for the PSX? I converted it to play on my PSP. You know how text will scroll along the bottom of the screen in parts of the menu? It's completely unreadable on the PSP.
That's not to say the PSP is worthless either. If you want the commercial games on it, it's a great system, as these work around and with its limitations quite well. But as a homebrew machine, it is somewhat flawed. A shame.

Then I need to modify what I said earlier;
The GP2X has the best screen of any handheld available. It's very bright, has good viewing angles and I have not seen any blurring or anything that would indicate a slow screen update.

Certainly a nice screen, and a great little console. Just wish I could get NeoGeo games that require the gfx dump to not have those momentary slowdowns when it has to load new data...I think I might need a faster SD card.

How have I NOT HEARD about this little goody before?!?
Hmm. . . methinks the GBA-SP with the Flash Card will be on eBay soon!
And what of this little item - feedback from anyone here who owns one? Same thing in a different package in true Korean fashion???
EDIT: Hmm. . . that's not a Linux system, tho. Palm OS. :P
So, back to the GP2X. Why buy a PSP instead of this, besides not being able to play the PSP games (which I could care less about)?

PSP has more raw power, plus the haxxorz have taken over Sony's PS1 emulation, so if you like original playstation games, you can play the majority of them fullspeed on the PSP(it's either fullspeed, glitchy, or doesn't work. Vast majority of them are just fully working.).
Of course, you then have the screen issue and lack of tv-out to deal with, so it's really up to you.
