[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

Kind of irrelevant because you can't watch 480*272 movies on the PSP. Here's an example though, Garden state is 100 minutes, at 320*240 at a decent watchable bitrate it was 219mb. That's 2.19mb per minute, I encoded the same movie at 480*272 and it was 365mb. It still fits on the 512mb stick but then you have to take into account that if you could encode at 480*272 then you'd want to be upping the bitrate.

Needless to say there isn't a problem getting a 2-2.5 hour movie on a 512mb card. Thing is you're not gonna be getting much else on there, that's why I want 1GB. Film + TV + more albums. I've got 1 hour and 7 minutes of video on my card, plus 201MB of music (just under 3 hours) and I've got 12mb left.

guys, my PSP should be here any day now, and have been thinking I want to get a game to play on, preferably Ridge Racers.

Now I ordered my PSP and it was shipped on the 22nd Dec and should take 6 - 12 days to be delivered so around this time it shoudl arrive.

So where is the cheapest place to pick up a copy of Ridge Racers for PSP?

Just pre-ordered from EB :D

You can now in the U.S. if you didn't know (Sorry, didn't wan't to read through 44 pages of posts soo this might already have been posted)

The odd thing is you don't say if you want the Value Pack, so how is EB going to know how many of them to order compared to the normal PSPs?

Play-Asia is $60 which is ?30, that's not a bad price, they also have Lumines for $50 (?26). Choose normal shipping and you won't be charged import fees either.

All the pre-orders from EB Games are for just the PSP, closer to the release date (hopefully in march or before) you will be able to upgrade just the PSP pre-orders to the Value Pack. I already checked into it when I pre-ordered mine :D

nope, sony hasnt released any info about any release dates in the us

wait till jan 5, is all I can say (sony is "supposed to" reveal the psp launch date at ces)

and didn't samsung lately like introduce a 0-dead-pixel-policy lately? maybe it goes for the PSP's screen as well?

585228665[/snapback]

I think it's very unlikely to happen because that new policy is only applied to LCD products in Korea.

Also, Sony chose Samsung's LCD because Samsung and Sony already made friendship by co-producing LCD products and swapping patents.

Samsung is a very reputable company when it comes to LCD, so there's no need to worry.

I've read so much about the PSP and seen so many photos and videos. It feels like a PSP overkill. I was so excited in the beginning, but now that it's so hard to get a PSP and prices are so damn high, I'm losing interest. I've even started thinking about spending my money on an iPod.

So hard...to get...PSP...price...too high...losing interest...please help... :(

I think PSP is relatively cheap for what it can do.

And when PSP is released worldwide I'm sure you'll easily get one for yourself.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
