Best Buy.

Only thing to be careful of is the burnt pixel issue. Make sure when you get it and after you turn it on, that you look carefully from edge to edge.

If there's a pixel burnt, I'd return it and just buy another one instead of going through th hassels of an exchange (where they may play the 7 pixel-before-warranty bit).

1) got mine at Best Buy with a 2-yr replacement plan.

2) it uses a Memory Stick Pro DUO, which is a smaller version of a regular Memory Stick. Sony makes adapters that allow it to be used in a regular memory stick slot.

3) yes - you hook up the PSP to your computer using a standard mini-USB connector cable. you click "USB mode" from within the PSP menu to activate it.

btw I think more of the newer Sony digicams are using Pro DUO.. I haven't been following them but I've seen a few that use it.

very very good decision, even though ps3 would have been even better PSP is a waste IMO, especially with the new consoles out which are 8 million times better
