[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

Jus wondered if anyone else here has the "gaming" Sandisk 1gb stick?

I have got bored of waiting for normal 1gb sticks to become available so have jus ordered a 1gb "Gaming" stick.

From what I can tell the only difference is that the stick is in sum horrible see thru yellow colour, and that it doesnt come with an adaptor. Both of which are not issues for myself since I already have a couple of adaptors, and I wont have to see the stick since it will be inside the PSP all the time! LOL

I also noticed that it is slightly cheaper too! *prob cos no adaptor*

So is there any differences I have missed? Has anyone else got one?

Well, I talked a guy out of keeping the TEN he preordered to sell on eBay. I told him that in fact Sony said they weren't going to have the same shortage problems the PS2 had. What store allows a guy to preorder 10 of them anyway?

Anyway, 2 were for him and his kid, the other 8 he was going to sell. When I said that I had one he said "did you get it on eBay?" I wondered why he seemed kind of disappointed I didn't until he fessed up that he preordered 10.

They should go to actual customers.

That's good, I can't stand people who do that - spoils it for some. :angry:

Yay I went to EB Games today and was talking to the guy. Turns out ppl who pay off the PSP have a better chance of getting in the first shipment (which is what I have been hearing online) so I payed it off and now I'm in the first shipment (well its 95% likely). Can't wait, but damn I am spending way too much money.

Well 20 down is good if you are one of the first preorder but apparently money talks after that lol. The guy kept hinting that I would be bumped up higher than ppl that just put the minimum down if I paid it off. So I did. Doesn't hurt really, I can get the money back if I'm in the second shipment. When I was walking out tho the guy said he'll call me when we get them in, which is pretty damn big hint if you ask me :-)

EDIT - Yeah too many cool games are coming out for this damn thing. I'm so confused as to what to get. I put some money down on Metal Gear Acid but I'm not 100% sure i want it. Twisted Metal and ATV look cool cuz they have online play. Mercury looks awesome too but I can't pay 50 bucks for a puzzle game... then there's RR, NFSU, Tony Hawk, Untold Legends.. jeez.. anyone wanna lend me a few bucks? :-D

I have a question: Would it be a better idea to buy a PSP in Japan, or wait for them to be released in the US? It's cheaper to buy in Japan than to buy in US right? Is there any other differences? I have someone who can bring me one so getting one from Japan isn't a problem.

Thanks

If you don't want to play any UMD movies on it you might be OK.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
