Yeah, same here. I was under the impression that it came with Spiderman 2, mine didn't, just a demo disc. Amazing though the amount of tech that Sony has stuffed into this thing for $249. The screen alone must cost a fortune. Wonder how much they are losing per unit. hopefully someone figures out how to install linux or put a browser on this thing.

Called the store, they tell me only the first 1 million units shiped by Sony had the Spiderman Movie. He did mention that I should try to call Sony direct and see if they can ship the movie for free.

i can check if the stores here have the spiderman movie. if they do, i'll buy you guys one, and you return the one that didn't have one? the movie retails for 24.99 i think. or 29.99. i forgot the price they were going to set it as.

I'm sort of waiting for the outgoing quality to improve. Early reports I heard are an awful lot of them have some out-of-the-box problems. No way would I buy a Nintendo DS instead though...

I bought one the moring they came out.

No they arent worth the cost if you only play games. You have to know how to use it and get all its potential. I am downloading movies and mp3's and watching them, playing games online, and getting online. Its amazing the potential in this thing.

I'm having a great time watching Top Gear on mine. I got pspware for my mac for $10 and had it convert all my Top Gear episodes to the correct format for psp and it syncs just like a pda now. It's great. I'm not sure it's worth the money, but I'm enjoying mine and was pretty pumped when I found an open-box 512 MB memory stick duo at best buy for $50 after rebate.

How many minutes of movie can you store on a memory stick duo? And is there any way to wi-fi transfer the data to the PSP?

Question - I know that the initial 1 million PSP's includes Spiderman 2 with it. Does Sony plan to release Spiderman 2 as a UMD movie later on for those of us that don't plan to buy the PSP now or no?

I was planning to wait until GT4 Mobile comes out but if the Spiderman 2 movie is a limited item then I might get the PSP right now!
