[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

I have no dead pixels.  But I have what no one else has.  I have two small, like pin head marks on my screen.  Its very odd.  They show up green on an angle.  Very hard to notice tho.

What do the pin marks look like? I have a couple of those bubbles in the screen, but one has a dark center so it might be a pin mark thing...

Oh well, EB's replacing my PSP when they finially get one in (They said end of april, so anytime now).

i definitely have a pin prick mark in my screen too. and if you look at it from an angle, it reflects, and looks like 3 spots. you can see what i mean here:

i like image converter 2 (i downloaded a version of it to 'try') because it's converts the movies with a higher quality but a lower file size.

i converted a 30min tv show to a 39mb file using the default settings.

There is no "downloadable version" of IC2.

I purchased it and can tell you it's not that great. Your movies are thumbnail sized (bit of an overstatement, but true).

i guess i should say that i downloaded image converter 2 to 'try', to clear things up about there being a downloadable version - because there are copies of it on some p2p applications.

about the size of the converted movies, you can always make the movies bigger by pressing triangle then choosing 'zoom' or 'full version'

deciding whether to buy psp in canada or hongkong.

if i buy in canada, whats up with all the dead pixels and other problems. IF i buy one here, and it has errors, can I get it replaced immediatly, refunded?? OR i need to wait for manufactuer warranty?

open box but busted psp, can you refund?

thx

yeah, but regarding iversons problem, do they let you check for dead pixels in the shop before its bought? or after its bought, do they let you exchange virtually unlimited times until you get a no dead pixel unit? or do you just have to let it go and live with it.

Hey Guys,

I'm in the UK and have just read the news that we wont see it here until at least September, and even then we'll be expected to shell out ?180 (approx $350) which is a fair amount more than you guys in the states.

I'm not about to give Sony the satisfaction of ripping me off whilst making me wait months more than the rest of the world so I'm gonna import one. Just wanted to know if any USA users are playing imported Asia games without any issues? I don't just mean 'do they work', cause I know that the PSP is region-free for games, but do they all seem to have English interfaces as well?

That way I can get a bundle of games at the same time as getting my hardware.

cheers

Ascii

I'm playing US and Jap games on my Jap PSP. The amount of japanese text varies from game to game, ridge racers has very little, lumines has none, metal gear has a lot due to the dialogue involved. There's a breakdown on how japanese each game has on lik-sang. Best advice is to forget the jap games and just get the US eqivalent if possible.

Anyone know when retail stores will be getting in the Logitech Playgear Pocket case?

I have a gift card for Circuit City so I'm hoping it's soon.

re-edit: Hmm read the past posts, others seem to have got it in retail stores but I'm reading May is the release month for it.

I bought mine at Best Buy - I had to buy it, open it there, test it out - then swap it for another one - test it out, etc... I did this 4 times. Every time they scan it as if you buy it, they said they will send the opened ones back to Sony. As I was buying this (with the replacement plan) another Best Buy employee who was helping someone else out, was trying to convince them to get the replacement plan - he was saying that if you have only one dead pixel they would exchange it (unlike Sony), so I stood there and opened them until I got one that was OK.

Oh and after 3 they started to get really ticked off, telling me that I couldn't open every box they had.....

I should already be out. I got one already. But it's definitely limited. It's sold out almost everywhere where I live.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
