[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

That's nice, because I can't even imagine how pricey it would be if Sony releases their own 2gb memory stick duo. :pinch:

If sony releases!!! lol

Sony has today announced Memory Stick PRO Duo (High Speed) in 1GB and 2GB capacities. They are one third the size and half the weight of full-size Memory Stick media, and all MS Duo media ship with an adapter that is compatible with devices that have Memory Stick slots. The 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo media is designed to support transfer speeds of up to 80 Mbps which varies with supporting hardware.

Sony today announced a leap forward in the Memory Stick? flash media family with the introduction of the 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (High Speed) media, the largest capacity available in the Duo format. Sony is also introducing the 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, media which is easily recognizable by its bold new black coloring.

what are you on about, they got their 20gb duo's in their psps, and teh clickwheel remote, and.. oh whatever :laugh:

Just got it. It's AMAZING!! My daughter was playing the DS next to me on the couch and Ridge Racer made her put it down.

Encoded the latest Final Fantasy VII-AC trailer for it. Amazing stuff.

EDIT: Got Pictures working. MP3s that I dropped on it are listed as 'corrupted' (encoded with iTunes as MP3s).

EDIT II: 7 folders of iTunes-encoded tracks don't work (Journey, Jarre, Pink Floyd, etc.). OLD Napster-grabbed files do work. Could it be the MP3 tag data?

EDIT III: U2's "The Joshua Tree" which I encoded with iTunes DOES work, Shery'l Crow's "C'mon, C'mon" doesn't work. BOTH were encoded with the same version of iTunes. NEITHER have album art. BOTH were encoded at 160 kbps.

Ack...my last post wasn't editable.

I was playing around with the directories that had the corrupted files. Turns out that the MP3 files WERE in there, but in a folder of 15 songs, you first see nothing but a list of corrupted files. I scrolled all the way down for no reason at all and the files were there!

I'll have to find out why this happened.

:huh: SanDisk, whose memory cards are relatively cheap, makes 2GB Memory Stick Duo, don't they?

Wouldn't it be awesome if Samsung makes 8GB Memory Stick Duo with their nano technology or whatever? :woot:

Sony launched a new site, called YourPSP. It's empty now, but they say content will be placed in the following weeks.

I'm hoping for a firmware update soon.

Thanks for the info. The site seems to belong to SCEE (sony computer entertainment Europe) and the site says in small print that your email addy will be used to inform you about the site up until the euro launch.

I was asking about release dates for europe in my local Game store last week and the manager told me 'Anytime between April and September'.

I really hope Sony get the PSP out in europe sooner rather than later - I've had a PSP on preorder ever since I saw videos of Wipeout pure in action!

guys let me just tell you, those that are still drulling about psp... it is NOTHING compared to the screenshots, once you have it in your hands and see the screen for youself you will be in awe. It is gorgeous.

I was one of those people who though how different can it be from the screenshots, well now i understand why people say the pictures don't do the justice.

nuff said.

You should see some umd films on it, i got the demo disc it has some previews on it. Also i put a ebook pdf on their and the text is perfect. As for the creaking noise with the Dpad mine does it, not as bad as it was when i first got it as it wears in.

Yes, the pics don't do it justice. I should have mentioned that.

Voodoo, where did you get a PDF reader for it? I was actually thinking about how cool it would be to have one on there yesterday...and where can you get a demo disc from?

Mike

I got the demo disk from Ebay theres still some on their and theyre quite limited.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/voodoo.mchale1/PSPbook.zip PSP doesnt directly read pdf's, hope sony includes the ability in the update, stupid not to.

Doubt very much sony would allow that to happen, not to mention UMDs hold 1.8gb of information, and they have only just announced 2gb mem stick which costs the same as 2 psps, hardly even out and people are talking about pirating it already, jeez.

    • 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.
