You can hook the PSP up to computers via USB.

[JHAirforce05]

And there is a converter that comes with the Duo to fit the normal size stick.

I released a preview version of my PSP manager for Mac OS X.

So this is the app you were talking about over here and at Macnn?

[JHAirforce05]

I was looking at www.gamestop.com and they are showing that the movies (all but one) are going to be $19.99 not $29.99!!!

[firen]

PSP memory stick 2

[JHAirforce05]

Yes it is. As long as it say Duo or Pro Duo it will work on the PSP.

[Starman]

Yup :)

Can you change the settings to boot to the main menu, instead of the game ? When an UMD is in, that is.

[~clean]

No, its allways boots off the umd when it startsup. You cant change that, Hopfuly they are gonna change that in later firmware revisions.

IGN got their hands on a US version of PSP:

Value pack addins (US version comes everything that japs got in value pack but also cleaning cloth and spiderman 2 UMD movie)

Confirmation: PSP games are not region locked, but movies are (anyone who imported jap version will now definitely not buy UMD media :p)

Awesome. Unfortunately, I need money so I will have to sell my pre ordered psp on ebay, and wait for revision 2.

How will WAL-MART sell the PSP?

I am going to try to go when they start selling them, which would either be at midnight, or unfortunately for me during my lunch break on the 24th- WAL-MART (2 of them) is the only store remotely near my place of work that will be selling them. I remember they sold XBOXs at midnight because I was there to pick one up (and stand in line)

If I can get one on the 24th, I will give my preorder for 2nd shipment to my brother for his birthday - which my mom will reimberse me for HA! I'll pick up a game for him tho. If not, I'll just have to wait...

[jamend]

Well the auction I bid on turned out to be a fraud, so...

Anyways, after lots of searching, I found an even better way to get it (for Canadians with VISA credit cards). At dvdboxoffice.com they have it at the normal price ($349.95), but there's no provincial tax if you're outside of wherever DVD Box Office is (unlike at Amazon which has stopped preordering anyways or Toys'r'us where you always pay GST+PST). Shipping is also free, and with this month's VISA promotion code of "VISA2005BE" for a 15% discount it comes out to $318.28. That's for the Value Pack with the Spiderman 2 UMD, although I don't know if that crappy Gretzky hockey game is included (I hope not).

One week away :D

[bob_loblaw]

I can't take the wait any more!!! :angry: :angry:

One week seems like an eternity away....

[..Vector..]

Well Tony Hawk underground apparently shipped to me yesterday :D

Fifa 2005 should be shipping 23rd (the NA release day)

[RonXdude]

I can't take the wait any more!!! :angry:  :angry:

frikking hell

I am just so excited about my psp that will be at my door tomorrow or day after, and even that seems an eternity away.

[zachman123]

Besides debating the other game I'm getting besides Lumines (probably I'll pick a racer), I was wondering if the games come with plastic cases, or are they just in the cardboard box? If they don't, how are you carrying around your games (I saw http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/255786.asp which I'll probably get)?

replying to my own post:laugh:h:

I called WAL-MART and they said you can get them at midnight. If I am not too tired, I'll camp out after work lol

[bob_loblaw]

WalMart isn't gonna have them for cheaper right? Thats how Walmart is, they sell stuff cheaper. If they are then Im gonna kill myself. But I doubt it.

[SkyyPunk Veteran]
