Is the PSP for Me?

For me, game quality is where it's at. When I can get lost in a game for hours at a time, that sends me a clear message that Sony will continue their role as king on the gaming jungle. ;o)

Hey Chris, can you write up an entry and find an article about the Nintendo DS. Hey, wait a minute.. I just realized that it's not called a 'Gameboy'… odd.

I believe gameboy and nintendo DS are completely separate from each other.
Any who, I agree with what was said about the PSP, SONY could have made it so much more appealing to a wider audience. *sigh*

well one can only hope they will learn from the poor sales figures.

More than happy with mine so far. Remember, the PSP has an upgrade system built in, so the issues above of no browser, email, etc, may soon go away. The browser issue seems to have been hacked already [Engadget] and the system hasn't been out but a few days.
As far as UMDs go, I'm expecting writable ones before too long. No on expected Sony's MiniDisks to be writable, but they ended up being that way.
Memory sticks are too pricey, but then again, you are dealing with a proprietary market. Bought a Sony camera with a Sony memory stick that I knew would work with my PSP and I'm more than happy. I'll be stuck buying another format if I get a PDA, as Sony's proprietary format doesn't work with the other guys proprietary format. Get them all to agree and we'll all be happy. Until then, deal with a pocket full of memory.
If the glare is a problem, look into a cover or something. I'm currently looking into something similar to a PDA cover, which will hopefully help with scratches. A few third parties are coming out with cases that include shields, so light isn't such an issue.
All in all: this won't replace your iPod or PDA – yet. The upgrades, third party add-ons, and hackability could make this thing the system to beat. As it stands, it just a nice gaming console that brings a few new tricks to the market.

They are having problems getting good units to consumers. Either the pixels are dead, or the buttons are mucked up, or something else. One guy said he had become an expert on returning the PSP to his retailer. My advice is wait a few months until they sort things out.
Sony has a reputation of making others play by their rules, as in proprietary storage. Too bad it keeps backfiring in their face.

there is now a way to browse internet through game exploit from what i have read on forums

after you get it checkout PSP Hacks and pimp that sucker!

your're exactly psp is a cool little device the battery suck ats to and it could have been better this generation which is mine by the way is to concerned with features such as mp3 video and grapics a big factors nowadays but i rather have excellent gameplay then super cool graphics which i want lie is a plus but why use all most all your time on grapics if the game sucks that was my problem with xbox its game that have been on pc have been better more refined and just more fun so that makes me a nintendo fan because even though alot of people ignore the gamecube if u play it youll notice there fanchise games play better and look flawlees 95 percent of the time but alas not everyone is interest in a game unless its really violent i mean i like those to but it the gameplays suck then whats the point i personaly hope nintendo xbox and playstation improve without selling out to multimedia functions which seems to degrade the systems playabillty a lot of people do care about thses type of veiws but i think they should it would improve the gamers realm of possibilltys a whole lot and i would like to hear feedback on my comment so tell me what u think either here or send me an email at melvinf7@hotmail/com thanks for ur time by readinging all of this

Hello I read you comment about the psp, well first of all hi I just joined this forum or this page just because I saw your article about the psp.
Well to get things started it seams to me that the guy who posted those that article about the psp either does not have one or does not like Sony because give me a break man you have be joking??? Microphone? That has to be a joke.
Well if no web browser or email that shows how much you know about the psp,
It has a web browser and it can support gmail ( Google email ) just because you don’t know how to use it buddy don’t say it does not have it. Get your self “ Wipeout Pure�? and then get back to me on the email no web browser thing…
No videos…? Well buddy if you can spend 300 bucks on a psp then you have to have money to buy a 1 gb memory card, and yes you can put DVDs and videos in the psp, you just have to convert the format get your self “Psp 9�? and a USB cable and your set all the movies you want. You can have up to 3 dvd or videos ranging on 300 mb each yes we all know that dvds are about 1.8 gb but with the psp 9 it converts it to psp space that is far more smaller then a computers format.
WiFi… Well Buddy hmm you can only use it for head to head lol that makes me wonder how many psp’s you own lol have you ever seen “ Add Hoc Mode�? yea it’s a little mode the psp has to connect to a wide variety of servers so yo can paly more then just you and your self you can play your whole block. And more
Well don’t worry soon the psp will be the #1 most selling hand held ever because “ Socom is coming out for it and there going to make it so that you can play anyone any where . you can be in Kansas and me in Alabama lets rumble. And when the ps3 comes out in nov. 2006 the psp will also be used like a handheld controller so you can use it to play your ps3 from your psp. Cool huh
Ok I have said a bit to much any questions, email me at francyc@gmail.com.
The psp can do allot more things then you think buddy give it some time its the first hand held to even come close to ps2 graphics it has awesome graphics and has a lot of things you did not know about I hope you find my information help full and yes I see everyone with a PSP!
Thank you
