I recently received my PSP Movie Dock (with remote) and have been enjoying watching my PSP movies mostly while eating on my lunch hour during work. I like the fact that you can plug it in or use batteries since I'm using it in places where an outlet might not be conveniently located. I'm not sure about battery life yet but that can always be remedied by using rechargables. I also like that it boosts the volume since I have a first gen PSP and everyone knows how low volume the speakers were on those! But just being able to watch my PSP out at Carl's Jr. or where ever is a real treat. Yes, people sometimes stare at me but I like to believe that they're all thinking, "Wow, I wish I had a PSP and one of those movie docks!" Sometimes, they really are thinking that because I've had a few folks ask me where I got the dock and I'm happy to share with them. For the price I paid, the value is enormous so I say it's super worth it to buy this movie dock. And it comes with a remote so you don't have to push the volume button at all. However, one little thing about the remote: fast forwarding and rewinding only work if the movie is on a UMD. If you have your movies on the memory card, you've still gotta use the buttons. Not a big deal for me because you can put multiple movies on one memory card and you only get 1 movie on a UMD. Bottom line: if you love watching movies on your PSP but need your hands free for eating burgers or whatnot, buy this movie dock!
