As title guys, what do I need to get a hold of?

Console.
Case?
Screen thingies?
What games? (puzzle games and racers)
Any cables I need to get it talking to a PC?
Is one battery okay, should I get another?
Mains adapter?

Yeah I've had a look around google an you-tube but wanted your input too.
Thanks in advance.
 
Case is good, something small but hard-ish
don't bother with screen things
memory stick 4 or 8gb
mains adaptor should come with it
spare battery can be handy for long journeys etc
 
The fake ones can be pretty slow, but the genuine Sony and Sandisk ones are both good (both same make I think). Its a memory stick pro duo that you want.
 
Case?
I have a official sony psp case thingy which zips open to hold the psp, and a flap lifts up for games/mem sticks/headphones/whatever and is quite tough and compact. Was surprised to get it for a tenner on sunday
Screen thingies?
Never really bothered with this, I put it in the case afterwards all the time anyway
What games? (puzzle games and racers)
I played a demo from the PC Store of Space Invaders and it was awesone! Definite pick up and play coolness! As for racers....this is what I'm looking for also so anyone speak up!
Any cables I need to get it talking to a PC?
Just a standard usb like the PS3 controllers/digital cameras/etc (the one with the small end)
Is one battery okay, should I get another?
Its handy that now it can charge over USB, I would probably forget to charge the 2nd battery so its not for me.
Mains adapter?
Comes with :)

Just to add, games I would recommend so far :

Everybodys Golf 2 (Fantastic simple yet really fun and addictive golf game great for short stints)

Patapon (Cant really describe it, part rythm part erm... You have to try it!)

Metal Gear Portable Ops (METAL GEAAARRR!!!) :D

One this is RIGHT up your street, Outrun!!!!! Its awesome on the PSP!

Theres a racing game I hear about which is really big in Japan called Initial D which I am looking into and looks good.
