Ok, I'm really tempted to check out the PSP. What stores in the area have them in stock and what's the average price for the standalone unit/starter kit?

it doesn't look big enough for a DVD to fit in it.

I have also picked up one of these the first day it was released here (24th). Whenever I am playing it people stop and ask questions and are in awe with the quality, look, and multitude of options( I have heard they will release a nav system for it to play in your car).
As far as price, it may seem $$$ but when you look at it closer its a great deal for the technology. Remember the first color cell phones? $400 bucks. or what about the new razr cell phone that just dropped from $500 to $349. The cell phone has no room for a 4 gig card, cant play dvd quality movies, or do a fraction of other things( there is also a cell phone adapter kit being made for it as well so it can be a cell phone too. rather large though). Compared to most new electronics, $249 is a wonderful price.
About the use of the UMD's, Sony's PS3 will most likely have a slot for them as well as a UMD burner. I have heard from many that you will be able to burn UMD's and at 1.8 gigs per disk it sounds like a pretty sweet idea.
The WI FI system is great! I have played and own both Wipeout Pure and Lumines. I have never been cut off of a 2 player WI FI race or puzzle match yet. I even connected to the internet via WI FI to see if any new updates for the software was out or if the browser was up for d/l yet, but no to both.
All in all this is one wicked little piece. One of my favorite features is the battery info which displayes % charge and time left on current battery life. So easy.
The only draw back to the system is it doesnt come with a screen protector( I bought one from EB for $4.99) and the 1 gig cards are $149.99 (Sandisk) so the 4 gig sony's will be close to $900.00 which is way too much considering the I pod can hold a 60 gig drive and costs half that.
I also bought some Piaa Super Plasma h3 fog lights, denso Iridium plugs and some Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S so it has been a nice week for gifts from me to me.
