he could have kept the roach in the same bag as the psp since its already dead. and he didn't find it until 3 days later? my BS meter is chiming.

Speaking of Best Buy, how much does Employees of Best Buy get a PSP?

$199?

How much for a 512MB? $35?

I KNOW Best Buy Employees get DEEP discounts!

Gamesharing is not available on any of the launch titles

In the 2nd pic those do look like 2 dead pixels.

I want to bring a few things to everbdys attention here..

1. If your PSP had a dead pixel(s) in a few months or a year would you all go and return it? I would hope so since SOME of you think its TOTTALY unnaceptable to ever have one. I can understand at launch and out of the box, but i think some of you need to wait and acutally play some games before you return it.

2. We are all stuck on this dead pixel topic but havent considerd any of the other launch problems.

Did anybdy notice the L button sticking?

yeah, it sticks a bit. no biggie though

I just got a PSP at Costco for 320, it came with Twisted Metal Head On and NBA.

Are there any problems that I should look for on my PSP? I haven't found any dead pixels, but there was a tiny speck of dust, though that's okay. Also, I don't really want the NBA game, is there any way for me to bring it somewhere and exchange it for another game? It's unopened.

boys and girls... :p

have any of you played Metal Gear AC!D? if so, what do you think of if? I'd seen soooooooooooooo many different opinions about it that I don't know what to think now... :p

also, what do you think about Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade?

FYI, I don't like racing games (RR looks nice but that?s about it for me) or sports games (Mario tennis and top spin for me is more than enough) cuz I just want to make sure I get the right games for me when I place the order for my PSP on Monday.

thanks!:happy:y::yes:s:

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
