[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

someone had to back out, since I can't take paypal. (2-3 spots left) If the spots aren't filled I'll sell them on ebay (as Alpha kindly suggested)

I really want to just ship to the UK, since I checked the UPS's cheapest shipping rate and it is 70 dollars.

One game, a PSP and shipping comes to 321 dollars. I just dont want to be held liable for international deliveries.

At least if I ship to the UK (where I live), people can come pick it up, or I can send it over for a fairly cheap postal cost.

That's the third time the info has been posted now...

Like the DS it depends on the game. On the DS it's called Download Play, on the PSP it's called Game Sharing.

Stop decieving people, dazzla. It is only Nintendo DS that is able to play multiplayer games with several other DS'es with 1 cartridge in hand.

PSP DOES NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE.

Yes, there is a feature called "game sharing" on Sony PSP, but it is not the same feature as Nintendo DS. Do not be decieved.

With PSP it's "game sharing" is only to trade savegame files with others who have the same game and to trade some files with PSP and PS2 like the GBA advanced linker for GC.

NO CURRENT PSP GAME SUPPORTS "GAME SHARING" FEATURE

i hate it when I cant edit my old posts...

Anyway,

Seems like a standard PSP and three games (lumines, golf, and Ridge Racers) should be around 200 pounds.

(if not less)

I think Ill only be able to help 5 people, because I dont want to be stopped at the airport with a huge amound of PSP's.

Two people have already 'booked' two spots. Three spots left.

@Dazzla, I've asked Aiko to check how much 1GB memory sticks are. When she emails me back I'll let you know.

****, excuse me for reading the Japanese manual wrong :blink: :blink: that's what you get when you read the ****ing pictures.

Consider me wrong, I wasn't decieving anyone, I was just trying to make out the manual (which I seem to have lost :s ), no download play for PSP. Not that we know what Game Sharing is though...

Dont suppose you'd mind giving some advice to a uk gamer looking to buying a PSP?

I'm looking at getting a PSP + 2 Games + Memory Stick.

What games do you recomend for people that dont speak Japanese? Do some have any english dialogue?

ok everyone look, I've taken alot of orders (and i'm getting like 10 pounds profit only from each)

I've decided to leave it up to ebay.

The NEOBAY will have the links up (one is up now)

For US buyers, all I know is that via UPS it's 70 dollars minimum for 5 day delivery. I'll deliver if I can't be held liable.

I hope I can help some people and before mailing me, or bidding please make sure 100% that you want one! I've had 4 people asking and backing down and 3 sticking with their plan.

I hope everyone can understand that its a huge responsibility and I want to help people, just not put alot of stress on my head.

Ridge Racers and Lumines seem to be the best choices at the moment. Ridge Racers is about 90% english, the other 10% is guessable and the more you play the more you get used to it. Lumines has more english in it then Ridge.

Sony PSP Update: First Price Drop (Value Pack $439 / ?322 and Standard Pack $379 / ?278)

I'll wait just a little bit longer...

So the UK version is out? If it is, could anyone tell me if it will be compatible with American Games, if it is, I have enough, I am going to buy it.

just in case you're interested...

Metal Gear Acid is apparently very english orientated.

I've heardthe ENTIRE dialog in MGA is Japanese... :yes: but the menu's are english

585192860[/snapback]

The text on the cards is mostly jap...so its useless unless you can read em

The only *safe* game to get is Ridge Racers (imo), and thankfully it rocks.

well as mentioned before, lumines is also quite english orientated...

as for MGA, I do already own this game and yes it is VERY J-orientated....if you are willing to give it a go an dnot understand the story, then most of it is fairly easy to pick up...although it does help to have a little ability in J and a J wife who is fluent.... :p

when I return back to Japan next week, I plan to pick up dynasty warrior SE that comes with a much better carrying case than originally came with the psp...I also plan to pick up one of the AI series and something else...

and as for a battery update....using the system with lumination on low, vol on low and alternating between RR, Lumines, MGA, and watching some vids off the memory card, the battery lasted about 6.5 hours before I had to swap it... :D

Sony has posted a public apology in its website, to apologize for the shortage of PlayStation Portable in Japan. Sony mentioned they will try their best to ship out additional PSP units to the market.

Anyone saw this apology letter? Couldn't find it on their website.

You obviously didn't look hard enough, I found it within 30 seconds:

Here's the nasty translation from Babel:

Apology

- Concerning the shortage of goods "of PSP" "place t Shaun portable" -

Corporation SONY computer entertainment

2004 December 29th

Usually this corporation product patronage receiving, thank you for truly.

2004 December 12th (day) it sold "PSP" "place t Shaun portable" from the customer very much we have received favorable comment, appreciation you say deeply.

At this corporation, in order that it parallels to the expectation from the customer, every week we continue the shipment of the commodity, but state of shortage of goods is continued as still.

In order that "PSP" moment the commodity is delivered to the customer whom waiting it has received, quickly in the pleasure, we exhaust all power, but we apologize the fact that we have done to apply great annoyance from heart.

It grants no soldier/finishing understanding, continues and regular use that it can receive this corporation product, it asks may.

More and more I am convinced PSP will probably launch late april/may in US or even worse, not at all in 2005.

This is one bad launch and if they can't supply their own territory, I don't know how they will be able to worldwide.

Just my opinion.

Lmao, "not in 2005". You're a funny, funny guy.

Anyway, quick impressions on Lumines then I'm off to drown myself in it.

1. The music ****ing rocks. I love this ****, hooked the PSP up to my 680s and whacked up that volume :woot:

2. I can see this becoming extremely addictive. Even the difference between the first and second go you can start to see strategies, ways to build combos. This is gonna get a lot of playtime.

Lumines is a good attempt for a polished puzzle game for PSP, but i still believe it hinders gameplay with PSP's wide screen, it's kind of odd that the blocks come from the side and you don't seem to have much space to maneuver your blocks.

You should try playing your psp games with xlink and see how good the multiplay is.

The creators of lumines are also making a new puzzle game for DS aswell which I find intriguing and fits perfectly well with the way DS screens are setup. It's called planet meteos.

Blocks come from the side? No they don't, blocks come from the top and the playfield stretches all the way across the screen.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
