[OmG]

Is the Datel 4GB Hard Drive any good? I've heard it is pretty slow.

[Ji@nBing]

I saw the white one when I was in China. I totally should have bought it and ebayed it. Oh well, I'm moving back in the spring. Maybe if it's still in demand I'll buy one to sell then...

[reveries]

IMO the white psp looks ugly

[dpanda]

hmm the white one sure looks better then my friend's black one. i'll get it when i struck lottery. XD

[runningking7]

Hey, how the heck did you manage to fit all of those pictures (20mb+) there?

Oh, and really nice pictures!

Its ment to be as fast as a conventional Memory Stick. I'm sure something faster and better will come along soon.

[reveries]

I have one question about the PSP's charging times... will it damage the battery in any way if i charge the Battery even when its not fully drained? e.g. chargin when battery left is 50% ?

[dior_addict]

It shouldn't matter after the initial "drain&recharge" to fill up the battery juice.

i am willing to trade my black for a white one its got no scraches and it has the latest software 2.60!!!!!

Most people are turned off by the latest firmware, 2.6, since it doesn't allow homebrew.

It does now...

[instant.human]

which advantaged does 1.5 have in comparison with 2.6 or vice versa?

iirc 2.0 was the firmware that added the webbrowser, but i bet that there is some homebrew-alternative, if you dont want to have 2.6 installed?

but umm....anyways, you can have both, that webbroser-thing and homebrew on 2.6 now, so whatever. ;)

[.Ali]

What homebrew apps+games can you run now? For 2.6? Is it still using GTA?

[sn00pie]

Hate to bring up an old thread :( but I was wondering when you rip a DVD and convert it for use on PSP how much space on the MS does it use up?

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

at least sony know how to make a good looking product, i'll give them that, but those nintendo "box" things look cheap n nasty.

And it seems at least RanCorX2 knows how to revive an old thread :/ :laugh:

Where is Dazzla by the way? Don't tend to see him around a lot any more.

I disagree. I think Nintendo's DS Lite and upcoming DSi look very sleek. The PSP looks just like any other "hi-tech" gadget. The DS Lite is very distinctive, kind of like a baby MacBook.

Got a PSP Brite/3000 the other day when we had some blackouts. I must say that I do feel it is very well built besides maybe the UMD housing which isn't that brilliant. But in comparrison to my brothers DS Lite the buttons especially are alot nicer...I find the DS's to feel somewhat loose in their design. They're perfectly useable mind when in a game, but just in the hand to me the PSP feels better built.

Nintendo got it right when they adopted solid state media for games but. As above, the UMD mechanisms feel a bit clumsy even if they work fine and I've had no issues. I assume UMD's are going to be stuck at whatever capacity they have (2GB I think I read) where flash would have been more easily updated even if they used a proprietary format to make copying harder.

i honestly think there is nothing to them. Its a small little box. PSP looks click and definitely "hi-tech" and for me thats a good thing. Honestly, the DS looks like a kids education game thingie to me.

thats just sony though, they refuse to give up on the properietary stuff. I think the 2 gig max isn't that bad. That's a lot of space IMO for a portable gaming platform. But i am sure companies like square-enix wish they had more room.

[Smigit]

Yeah it is a Sony thing. I just feel they'd have an easier time allowing developers to produce larger games should they wish. It failed as a movie format and always was going to from day one. I duno, the space used up by the UMD reader in the device could be used to make the PSP even slimmer. UMD's aren't the smallest kids on the block after all.

That said, it seems to me they may be pushing towards digital downloads anyway what with the 5.0 firmware release.
