[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.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
