Shhhhhh, that be a secret...

Anyway, great review.

Just one question: There's been all this talk about how you can't encode your own home brew video at the full res of the psp screen. Therefore you have to change the screen settings to "Full Screen" to watch it properly. does the PSP remember this setting when you power down/ remove the battery etc... or will I have to reset the screen mode every time I want to watch a video?

Hope that made sense :whistle: !

That's right, it doesn't keep the setting. You have to enable Full screen each time, it's kind of annoying, but then it is only 3 key presses away.

Oh, and another question :unsure: :

You didn't really mention the wifi features of the PSP. Does the unit appear as just another wifi enabled device, and functions the same as when connected via USB? In other words, will I be able to effectivaley drag and drop stuff over the network onto the PSP? Some websites seem to be unclear on this.

I've not had a chance to test out the WiFi abilities, I don't own a wireless router and I don't have access to one :/

I do own a PSP and wireless router and can say that it will not function as a network device, you must use the USB cable to transfer your files to it. The Wifi will however connect to your wireless router and there is a option to upgrade the system firware and software. I tried that this morning it connected perfectly to Sony of Japans website and promptly told me I had the latest software installed.

Lumines and an extra battery came today. I'm leaving the battery sealed for now becaue as of yet I've not drained the battery. That's despite using it as an MP3 layer for 8 hours whilst at work, then a few hours of Ridge each night.

Lumines impressions to come...

Superquick impression. Kind of a pointless impressions because I've only had 2 goes.

1. The music ****ing rocks. I love this ****, hooked the PSP up to my 680s and whacked up that volume :woot:

2. I can see this becoming extremely addictive. Even the difference between the firt and second go you can start to see strategies, ways to build combos. This is gonna get a lot of playtime.

Pic of course:

Hmm, I've not really played with it whilst on the move but I just tested it. Playing music from the memory stick there was no skipping (I was shaking for over a minute) but playing ridge the game carried on fine but the music stopped a few times. This was shaking it though, I tried playing Ridge walking round the house and there was no skipping, same with Lumines.

Well, make the most of it, there's no new gadgets for Dazzla for at least a month because I intend on paying off my entire student loan in January. Expensive New Years Resolution...

After that, well, new Mac would be nice, new home cinema setup, iPod Photo.......

dazzla, you're only 22?! i thought you would be a little older than that. damn, the $$ you make! where do you work? hook a brother up! i am turning 22 this month too, but as i recall, you spend a lot more on toys than i do, lol.

Don't you think it's rude to ask such a question?

If indeed it's wet, windy wales then sometime in March. Game have started taking peoples names for an initial preorder list, similar to what they did with the PS2.

Easily sorted...

I'll pay P&P and you bubble wrap the PSP as good as you can. I'll then test the wifi capabilities on my wireless router and report back to the good people of neowin on my findings,

Then after a day or two of testing you will recieve your PSP back in bubble wrap in the exact same condition with fresh battery, charged and i'll even clean the screen for you.

I look forward to your PM :woot:

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
