i am really annoyed that i rushed in to buy a black one

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

any offers?

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

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. ;)

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.

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.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
    • Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
