[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

hey guys i have a couple of questions

1. how convenient is it to use the psp as just an mp3 player, talk about size, ease to scroll songs, search for songs, how to switch between songs (without looking at the screen), how to carry etc

2. if i had an episode of lets say, apprentice, hdtv, xvid, 350mb, and convert it to the psp (with acceptable audio and video quality) how big would the output file be.

thanks for replies.

edit: is there shuffle, repeat functions?

haha...not convenient at all. first off youve got BULK, second, youve got a cumbersome two-handed interface. its a pain...certainly not a feature they should be advertising...kinda a 'gimmick' really...

you could theoretically get a half hour episode of tv down to 30 megs...ive gotten south park and family guy down that low with acceptable quality

Has anyone seen this yet?  I found the link at a PSP forum.  The Korean PSPs gets to go online and if you look at the pics in the link (somewhere in the middle), I think they're playing StarCraft!  When are WE (USA) going to get this?!

That's the Starcraft TV they have in korea.

Not happy with it?

I've still not decided anyway. I've gone to like every store in Chicago and can't find ANYONE who has a unit on display so you can 'try before you buy'. They only seem to do that with the DS. It would be nice to decide in a month or so though, as I have a nice long trip coming up.

or you can come on over to the uk and ill sell you mine  :happy:

A display model of the PSP would look terrible though, unless the sales staff came by every now and again to wipe the smudges off. A PSP is really only worth it right now if there is a game you really must have (for me it was WO Pure, but only get it if you're a fan of the original). Waiting on MVP 2005, but if it keeps getting pushed back, I may just end up getting MLB.

K, got my psp today! Yay.

But the plug is not the same as what we use in UK, so am i ok using a powercord from like my ps2 into the adapter? The plug given says 124V on it, with 6A.

Would this just fry it or what?

*Edit* On the adapter it says input 100-240V's, well Uk runs at 240V so thats ok right?

Just don't wanna fcuk it up first day.

Lol.

Thanks.

Well, I got my PSP last night at Circuity City... I had found a store in the area (Best Buy) that had units I could actually play with, but none in stock. Circuit City had like 4 in stock and they have a no questions asked return/exchange policy. :D Got Untold Legends as well.... Fun game, but I think BG:Dark Alliance on my old PS2 was better. Not bad for a first release though!

Not -1- dead pixel either. And the screen sure is beautiful on it. :)

Are all units in the US the PSP1001 models?

My psp is also PSP1001. No dead pixels either :D

I saw that on like page 19 here right after I posted. lol. I guess that is just the current NA model #... Glad you have no dead pixels, I was so scared of having them after all the reports.

Now to wait for 1GB memory sticks to be available and not a ripoff (you could find them for close to $90 2 months ago... :( )

Yea I think dell was selling a 1gig stick for $85. :woot:

Got my psp, and it's beautifull. Bougt wipeout with it and its such a cool game, brilliant graphics everything so far is brilliant.

Only problem is i need to buy a bigger mem stick, the 32mb one isn't going to last long.

:p

P.s i bought from Lik-Sang, they delivered it within 2 days of payment, which is amazing.

I did get stung for ?40 import tax however. Gutted. But worth it.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
