aww, that woulda been funny :p

just saw all the clones posted at engadget...really mind-boggling.

[oojaxxoo]

i may get one but theres no use for it as an mp3 player since i have an ipod, i probably wouldnt play games at all, and i wouldnt really watch a lot of movies on it. so, is there really any other uses for it, or would it seem useless to me?

it's useless to you...you wouldn't use it for all the things its intended for

i have to agree.

[KeR]

I got Lumines and its an awesome game :D. What other games would you guys recommend for the PSP?

[Zeni]

As has been stated before.... Lumines and Ridge Racer, that's all you'll ever need. :)

[dheaddy]

Wipeout Pure!!! Great game, plus the online exploit

[zachman123]

Yay Lumines and Wipeout!

[zjoden]

geez about time i got the money to buy one XD.

i wish paypal would hurry with the money transfer T-T

:D ZJODEN

I am going to get my brother buy one from the USA, what are the chances that it has a defect. I mean dead pixels can happen after purchase, but the chances of bubbles etc.?

Also I think I will get Ridge Racers, I guess no one has any complaints.

It needs to be a Duo.

I heard somewhere that in the near future, sony will release psp's with better batteries, so that the 33mhz barrier can be reached without taking a huge hit on battery life.

That's what they've been planning from the start, eventually they will since the PSP is only running at 50% = 222. (and it's 222mhz not 22)

Well, Duo's are by far the best for the psp, but they aren't the only option....

Using Non-Duo's with the psp

[Amnesia]

anybody get Mercury yet (from those who pre-ordered)

[Pheee]

Just wondered if any one knows where to get a PSP in Colorado, near Boulder hopefully.

[dheaddy]

I just noticed something about the way the PSP handles photos. I used JPEGBook to convert a lengthly eBook and it came out at around 1600 images.

However, despite there clearly being 1600 images in the folder, only 1000 images could be displayed and the remaining 600 were unaccounted for. I can only assume this is some limit to how many images it can deal with in one folder. (Btw before anyone mentions it, yes 1000 images in a folder is more than sufficient for most peoples purposes ;))

[BroChaos Veteran]

that would suprise me. but you have no problems putting the remaining 600 in a second folder right?

also, pretty cool usage of the psp, never heard of anyone using it for a book before.

I got it. It is VERY fun and VERY addictive.

Yeah that's what I did, split the files across 2 foldersso it's all good. The programs been around for a while and can only convert a text file with no formatting into a stack of JPEGs at the PSPs native res

I'm still a bit meh about Mercury, perhaps it's because I've had no time to get into it but having played and loved Monkey ball the dynamics feel inferior. I know it's totaly different but it's not. The nub doesn't really do it justice.
