[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread

[Dazzla Veteran]

Desperate? Not quite, I'm buying it for the same reason I bought the DS at launch; the GC, Xbox and PS2 at launch; the N64, PSone, SNES, MD at launch. See the pattern? They're just toys, it's the same reason I waste money on stuff like TFTs, DiNovos, iPods. Other people fish, others read books, my hobby would be buying overpriced geek toys asap.

good for you Dazzla knock those hatters down!

I'm jealous as all hell! :devil: What do you do for a living, that lets you spend that much on gadgets?

And just a guess, but you're not married are you? My wife would kill me if I spent money like that!

I officially worship at the Altar of Dazzla! :innocent: We are not worthy!

(Now, about buying me one of these PSPs...! :whistle: )

[gogo514]

about the wifi function on the psp, is it the like internet wifi or just low range wireless connectivity between psps. It would be awesome if i can play my psp vs anybody.

[AionXn_]

by current rates and japanese street price:

unit itself: 19800 yen = 232.55 cad

value pack: 24800 yen = 291.27 cad

games: 4800 yen = 56.37 cad

should be around this level.

It's a standard wifi chip, probably not long range or anything for battery life reasons, but yes games can go online.

[sundayx Veteran]

theres a setting (if im not mistaken) on the psp that allows you to set the range/power of the wifi

I should definitely get a job so I can buy all those things too... :p

still no definitive word on a europe release? I'm not going to import it, but definitely going to buy one... not matter whatcost ^_^ Dazzla convinced me :rolleyes:

good for you i say... if i could i would as well :D

[Dazzla Veteran]

First little snippet, I can't seem to get it to accept .m3u files, and it can't see music in folders more tan 1 directory deep. e.g. it'll see Album\song.mp3 but not Artist\Album\song.mp3. As a workaround I've used "\Artist - Album\song.mp3".

[zachman123]

Dammit why does the U.S. release have to be in March?!? I have $390 in E.B. Games cards saved up for one :D

dazzla, is the battery easily removable? I'm probably going to buy a spare just in case.

[Dazzla Veteran]

It's extremely easy to remove, you unclip the cover and pop it out :D No danger of it falling out either. This seriously is a colid piece of kit, I was worried after reading all the defect threads but this is solid.

Messing around with movies now, only like 29.97fps movies (NTSC), 4 viewing modes, Original, Normal, Zoom and Full Screen. For 16:9 encoded stuff Full Screen is ****ing amazing, for 4:3 Zoom is a good option.
