    Xenogears would be fun to play.  I need some RPG's, and I heard this one was great!  I liked the Xenosaga games too, so this one needs to come to the US!

    You can get Final Fantasy VII on PSP, all you have to do is have a really big mem stick and a copy of FFVII for PSone and then copy data across to Mem stick. But be warned that some people have had lags and stoppages in the game..... bu not all people.... majority were happy

    I would like FF9 because I've never played it.  Something with that old-school look would be nice on the PSP.
