[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

been playing Mercury for a while now and I have to say that it's one of the most addictive games I've ever played.

I think the feel of moving something liquid is done fairly well.

At the moment we are restricted to a nub, however the tilt enhancement should be implemented in the future.

The current battery for the system from Sony is $50. I am not sure if its out yet or not but the the Action Replay replacement battery is $39.99 and it is the same mAh rating. I don't expect a higher density battery anytime soon (at least a year but I really expect it to be a lot longer then that).

i bought my extra batteries (which are out in Japan but I can't speak for the US) for 18 pounds each. Very nice deal for official ones.

Toshiba have created this revolutionary battery technology which fills up to 80% in 5 minutes (as described in an article in Japantoday.com)

I'm sure Sony will use it to it's advantage (as well as other companies) once the technology is out in the open.

Well I just got my PSP

The Place my brother got it was an EBGames in Boulder Colorado, the shop owner said out of the 200 he has sold since the release he has not had one returned. My Brother checked it and sure enough there is no problems with it :)

Man, I want one of these. I know if I ask my parents, they'll end up getting me one, but it's just that I'm one of those people who feels bad when I make my parents spend a wad of cash on me.

What should I do?

Say you want it, but offer to pay half or more for it. Or save up your money and pay for all of it. It's worth every penny that's for sure.

Here's the lowdown:

1. US and Jap PSPs can play any region games so you can buy a Jap PSP and play US games on it.

2. UMD movie discs are region coded. If you buy a US PSP you can only use region 1 films, and a Jap PSP will play only region 2 UMD movies (luckily Japan shares the same region as the UK). Not a big deal unless you desperatly want to pay ?20 for a film you probably already own.

3. When the Jap PSP boots it asks if you want Jap or English menus for the PSP OS. Choose English and never see another japanese character again unless....

4. ....you buy a Jap game, in which case it may have some Japanese in it. Obviously US games will be entirely in english.

5. Where to import - a lot of people have been mentioning this place Electricbirdland , prices look good. I recommend getting the value pack

I got mine from gbax.com, it arrived very quickly but wasn't cheap. A mate of mine is looking to import too, where did you get yours from?

What game do yo think is best

Mercury or Lumines?

Lumines! :D

And in regards to the question about the 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, you'll have to wait, no Canadian retailers have them as of yet.

The best prices thusfar are from either NCIX or FrontierPC, both hovering around the 150 dollar mark.

I would suggest waiting on stock for NCIX, as they have good customer service and decent shipping speed. :yes:

hey, that new logitech case is supposed to be out now. did anyone pick it up? any pics?

/omg tiger woods makes me want to throw my psp through a window. just trying to get a game started, it's gone into the demo about 7 times, wasting over a minute each time. :angry: :angry: :angry:

why have battery wasting demo come on in 30 freakin seconds???

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
