@akmarksman: You gotta be careful with announcing your firstedness... You can't see if someone beats to you to the punch, and if they you look like a total d-bag.

It's amazing the price difference between the cradle with av cable and without. I've seen av cables for under/around $10 or so...mostly on ebay but nevertheless. I paid under $10 for mine.

That said, I'll prob wait for the price to come down for the cradle sans cable. It's convenient for connecting to the tv and not having to either hold the PSP or have it teeter on a table at the risk of falling.

@Out2gtcha: I use my PSP on my desk at work to listen to podcasts and internet radio. But sometimes being able to have video going would be nice and my hands are not free to be holding the PSP while I work.

Proping is up on books works on occasion but the power cord really gets in the way of that since it connects at the bottom.

This is a nice clean multifunctional solution (though I wouldn't through down more than $35 for it)

@toddgarvin: How much are those Apple branded AV cables for the iPod again?

$49 [store.apple.com] and that doesn't include a stand or remote.

Actually, you can get something similar to this at Game Stop for $10. Its a cradle that charges and allows you to watch movies. This thing is WAY too much. Even iPod docks are cheaper than this thing.

@akmarksman:

FFS, are you 15?

So, what's the point of cradling a "hand held"? I mean isn't it designed to be held in your hand? Ok, so you're a cradle junky an outright cradle robber or just love your PSP.....so why not just get a Sony console then? Oh no money for that? No job? No Wife? Drinking problem? Uh...........where was I going with all these questions again?

There are some cheap PSP cradles on eBay already that have a full complement of outputs (including component!).

If they can get native DLNA support on the PSP, this might be worth buying. But, otherwise, it's not all that helpful.

It seems like a good idea. I have yet to get the AV cable but I have been subscribing to more and more video podcasts, and certainly having a cradle to use just for internet radio and audio podcasts would be handy. I don't know about $62-$65 handy, but maybe $30 handy.

Will it either patch into the headphone jack or leave it open? I haven's seen a cradle that will do that.
Will it work with gen1 PSPs? If it meets these requirements then I'll pay for it.
