Question PSP (again) - Worth buying now or wait and where from?

As the title says really, I was going to wait for the official UK release, but as thats delayed (due to the greedy ones across the pond?) until at least June, am tempted by the likes of Liksang for an import.

Question is, is it really worth buying now considering what appears to be a very limited library of games at release - apart from Ridge racer, I cant see many more titles of interest at the moment / next few months. Is RR a killer title? Most racing games get a little boring fairly quickly.

Also, where to buy from - plenty of choice on Ebay, or Liksang (seems like a good choice)

Any ideas?
