I was thinking the exact same thing... an Ipod/PSP/That sexy Nokia Phone/Nintendo DS/Nintindo SP advance or w/e

Now me personnaly iv never ownd any handheld gaming system except for the good ol' Sega GameGear Since those kind of systems arent my all time Fav.. but wow..

Good Review it seems as the PSP can doo alot anyidea how big the screen is. and can it watch FULL DVDs?

Also can it be pluggd intoa TV screen or somthing?

[lsquare]

Dude, it uses UMD's not DVD's as stated in the first page.

[uniacid]

Dazzla you have way too much time and money on your hands :rofl:

[nR.]

Great review Dazzla! I'm looking on eBay for one now :)

[GenesisNZ]

Maybe Daz can answer this, but where abouts can Import a PSP from? Other than lik-sang and play-asia. :)

I forgot to ask, does the PPC support AAC audio? Also how big are the movie files if you encode it at a 362*xxx resolution with a 2 channel audio?

[SojIrOu]

the psp doesn't support AAC and when you encode a movie at 368x208 its about 240mb at lowest quality for a 1.5hr movie. at lowest quality you its still quite acceptable but if you want you can get the converter and encode your own movies at different qualities

RR sure does look great, but I still don't know if it's the game I want because of the arcadiness of it. Then again when I looked at the NFS:R preview video the framerate seemed really low (Was it just the video?). I haven't heard much about GT4:M, but that seems like it'll be great to me.

So undecided on which racing game to get... And only 9 days left to pick :D

[Iguana]

Hey Dazzla, how does uploading and downloading onto a memory stick work? Do you use a USB-to-USB cable, or something else? Is the USB cable included in the value pack?

[Dazzla Veteran]

I've used both methods. Before I had a USB lead I used a card reader, but now I just use a USB lead.

And for 368*208 (which annoyingly I had to do in virtual PC because the Mac app that does it doesn't work for me), I encoded Garden State (100 mins) at 2 Pass 768kbps and 128kbps audio. Came to 522mb! I've only got 294MB left on this card :s

[Iguana]

Is it just a regular USB port on the PSP, or is it a USB-mini? I thought I heard a friend of mine say it was a USB-mini.

[hulibecker]

It is jus a USB Mini on the psp, but cables are cheap enuff neway. :yes:

[JMann Veteran]

Excellent to look at thanks man! (Y)(Y)

[Rappy Veteran]

God The More I Look At This Post the More I want one...lol

The Sony PSP is like the gorgeous, expensive, high-maintenance European model of handheld consoles. The sex is great, but sometimes even when you press all the right buttons, she doesn't feel like it. She's the one you show off to your friends, but keeps emptying your pockets of all your hard-earned cash.

The Nintendo DS is like the chunky, double-chinned ugly American girl. You can touch her any way you feel like and she lasts forever and never complains. The sex is OK, but you just know that the only reason you're keeping her is because of her personality.

[lsquare]

So the only audio codec that it supports is MP3 and Atrac? Wow it supports AVC, but not AAC. The hell?

Edit: I just checked Sony's website and it states the support of AAC. Are you sure it doesn't work? Check this out:
