I finally got my PSP :D. I wasn't going to get it at first but my friend convienced me at the last minute to go and get one.

I waited in line from 1AM to 7AM at the Sony Wonder store and finally go that damn thing :woot:. I must say this is the best handheld ever made, it blows the Nintendo DS out of the damn water ;).

Features:

1. 5-6 Hours of battery life (replaceable batter)

2. Head phones that are white with remote attachment (better than apple ipod head phones)

3. The graphics are just like ps2

4. Wireless connection (can pick up any wireless network and start gaming with other people online) *Also you can setup a network under your home network just like the network adaptor for ps2*

5. The controls are sweet just like a playstation controller but on two trigger buttons (R, L)

6. 32MB Pro Duo Memory Stick (which is can hold music, video, game data, and pictures) *You can upgrade to anything memory stick higher*

7. The Spiderman 2 UMD movie looks just as good as a dvd (menu, extras and all)

8. Wide LCD screen with no glar

9. You can download updates

10. USB port that enables you to send data from PC to PSP

That just about sums everything up, Sony seems to be releasing original PSone titles with new features and some new titles. Grand Turismo is soon to be released in April and Grand Theft Auto should be released in May.

Nintendo is going DOWN :shifty:!!!!!

IMO nintendo > *. However it's unfortunate that Microsoft and Sony have the more popular games. I love nintendo, but nintendo is leaning more and more towards being it's own system with its own games, and by it's own games, I mean nintendo-made games only. If my favorite games are on Sony and Microsoft consoles, it leaves me torn that I can't support my favorite gaming company.

This is a dark day for ShmengeTravel. :(

I know exactly what you mean my friend. :( I am an Nintendo Fan too, so, I'm getting a DS whatever people say. I've played it and love it. :) I will also get a PSP if I have money. But I always have and always will, buy Nintendo first :)

Bwhahahaha-- I got mine too, but I got it a lot easier. Last week I reserved and I was not to get it until March 31st (2nd shipment), however GameStop had a midnight release so my mom rushed out to the store and only waited in line for 10 minutes and got my PSP back home to me by 12:30. :D

I'm still on the fence about the whole PSP thing, I realize that the graphics are all sorts of stunning, but the fact that you get screwed into having to buy less than cheap memory sticks in order to make any real use of the other features is pretty annoying.

I'm sure I'll come away with one in the end, but I don't think I'll be jumping on it right away, I still have my DS to fiddle with, and honestly that thing was designed for puzzle games, and it works like a dream. Considering that I was opposed to the DS prior to release, then getting an impulse and purchasing one, I'm surprisingly happy with it.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
