[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... :( )

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.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.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
