Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

[Technix]

Soooo...who's standing in line to get one of these? $400 at FutureShop + included games.

I thought about getting one, but I'm in a dilemma: computer upgrades or buy a laptop.

Anyone thinking of investing?

[rawb]

[Anjew]

[ppcock]

I'm just saying that cause i have to look at them for 10 hours a day.

[NeVeRLooKBacK]

hahahahah

[Anjew]

[Revolver]

thats bung.

[ppcock]

UMD's make me go peee

From what I've read the psp only has a battery cycle of up to 3 hours until you gotta recharge the damn thing which is kind of a turn off to me. Also someone told me that Sony is being a bitch about the return policy. They told me that sony would not do any repairs or exchanges on any psp units. Kinda sounds like bullshit to me but ya never know with the market now days.

[ppcock]

consoles turn you on?

you guys will have issues with the Square button.

it was a poor move on Sony's part to release the PSP so early.

[thorn]

Hey, theres nothing wrong with being turned on by consols. . . They're hawt! I realy want a psp. . .

[e_BoY]

looks dope, quality wise is unknown. ill let this ride out for now see all the feedback and base a decision down the road. there is no need to rush into this. i guess biggest thing for me is how wel the online play will be and the low batery life is definatly a downfall

[b0ld]

rofl futureshop just dropped there prices on the psp already

[ppcock]

see kids!?!?! what has ppcock been telling for the past 6 months?

they're crap!@

atleast wait for the next release of the psp consoles.. all of you are using beta kits and they're crap.

First off, the package that you claim is a price drop isn't. The orginal package on their front site for 399.00 included 2 games (twisted metal and Wipeout pure I believe). They are now selling it for 379.00 with one game.

As for online, I've been playing hockey online for the last two days and it's been great, no problems at all, easy to connect and no lag issues (yet). As for the battery, when you see the screen in action, and the size of the unit, you will understand why the battery only lasts 4 hours on average.

I own both the DS and the PSP. Honnestly, I'd have to say the PSP is far better. Better graphics, and multimedia capabilities.

3 hours= Screen Brightness at full, graphic intensive game, full blast with the music, playing online.

As for the return policy, your probably refering the the rummor started by the letter from Videogamesplus.ca. It's not true, the psp comes with a 1 year warrenty covering those defects.

[Anjew]

You know Sony has a serious problem on their hands.
It's a great product. there is not price drop as of yet. but sony is definately underselling.
Wanna know why?
here's 1 reason. a lot of the psp's have dead pixels on them.
A LOT some have stated they have 15 and were unable to return them.
I personally have 3 in the top left of my screen. I'm lucky it's not in the middle.
to see if yours has dead pixels or not. look closely when there is a black screen or even dark. You'll notice they are just white dots and nothing is moving.

for the price they charge. You should receive no less then the sony quality they advertise.

[hardstylin]

i bought mine at zellers for 299.00 came with hockey and spidy 2, and these things are fucking elite!!! also bought hard case, usb cable too 450$ totall.

[-DLO_604-]

Fuck you all stop tempting me to get one.

[Technix]

:24k: :24k: :24k:

PSPs COME WITH DEAD PIXELS, WHOEVER PAYS $300 OR MORE IS GETTING RIPPED.

[-DLO_604-]

If they've already had a price drop i bet you their going to drop even more within two months lol.

[hardstylin]

^^^ maybe i doubt they will go much lower then 250$ though.

[rawb]

how about if you can't afford one you stop pretending you hate it.

why don't you go hating on the new bently body style.

i had dead pixels in mine, a line of blue pixels toward the center of the screen. apparently its not sony's fault, its from the way that the psp is handled while it is shipped. either way i exchanged mine right away and bought a 13 month store warranty. now if i want i can chuck it at anyone who trys to tell me it sucks.

psp kicks ass.
