I'm damned tempted to get a PSP now, but with all the dead pixel issues and the like it seems like one of those wait and see things, I mean there's no real way that a price drop wouldn't be on the horizon, just the same as newer revisions are obviously feasible.

Somehow I can't seem to justify dropping 300 to 400 bucks ( CDN ) on one of these just yet, though even when I do get one ( Just as certain I will as I am about the price drops and new revs :p ) it'll probably be used moreso for movies than gaming.

Anyways this is just me clearing out my head of PSP temptations. I think I can hold on another couple months with just my DS, Warioware Touched and Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits. ( Which is so damned fun BTW. )

Yup, after all the bickering on NW i especially looked during black screens to see if there were any dead pixels, and there arent. Also, i havent noticed any bubbling or whatever u guys are talking about. The only problem i have is that a couple times after exiting and rejoining a game, the sound would go all staticy, but thats about it. After a quick exit and rejoin,

Did you just answere your own question?

I want Linux on it because I want to watch movies and listen to music that's streaming over the wireless link. That way I won't have to bother with a memory stick.

Lets say I scratch up my psp screen good. like I ran some sand paper over it. well can I buy a replacement faceplate? I dident scratch my psp yet. I have had it for one day and have been meticlous about derbis on the screen and it still has tiny(non noticible unless under the right angle) scratches. I am DEFINETLY getting a screen protecter asap. What would happen if I put cleer packing tape on my screen? That would probly be pretty cleer to see through and cheep.

Well... tape is sticky and might leave some residue. The screen protector that I got is like one of those things which "sucks" onto glass.

@alan ^

But i heard that they might give us the tilt-sensor, and if they DO make it, they'll sell it as an extra. *sighs*

I sent them an email, but no reply.

It's a UK company so I dont know why they dont make it available at least from their own site.

the psp sold in korea will have streaming video and audio via the wifi adapter, and in hardware it's the same unit, so i bet we'll get some form of it and/or some one will import the network disc that it comes with it and put it on a us psp

i'd say best buy or ebgames. and get their warranty.

one thing that ****es me off about tiger woods. here's my logical though: psp->portable unit->battery life is important!

why have a demo that kicks in after like 30-60 seconds??? this demo spins the disc up, which takes about 30 seconds, and then it starts, and if you want to cancel, that takes almost another 30 seconds.

why not just let it sit at the menu? it will save battery life and time!

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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.
