Who has got a PSP then?

[The Great Cornholio]

After all the hype of having to preorder to get one, a quick trip round the shops shows stacks of them. Anyone got theirs yet? Enjoy your new firmware with it's non-homebrew protection!

Note for non-geeks - I got a Japanese one a while back which has the ability to play emulators/hacked games etc. which the new UK ones can't at the moment after Sony threw a hissy fit.

I would imagine sales will rocket when PES5 and FM2006 come out for it.

Speaking as a 'non-geek', none of the above post makes any sense to me whatsoever...

Get down your local Game or Gamestation and ask the spotty 12 year old to explain a Sony PSP to you!

I've got a DS. Its crap, but the PSP is far worse. Enjoy your No Games.

Had one for a while. Upgraded it to level 2 last month and only last night did I finally get around to trying out the web browser. It bloody works and everything! Now I can check my email on the way home from work, who needs a laptop!

Currently waiting for Burnout:Legends, GTA Liberty City Stories, SSX on tour and Pro Evo 5 to be released on the thing. It really does make the train ride to work go by quickly.

No games? Unlike to multitude of DS games I suppose? Plenty of games around - especially as they are region free.

Twice as many games on the DS, almost twice as many sold, still outselling the PSP. I notice that every PSP is owner is waiting for a game - they don't have them yet...

Piece of technology comes out. Lot of buzz about it. MYOB pops up on here claiming it's the biggest piece of shit EVER. Do you have some sort of program written that just churns this stuff out?

PSP's been out for nearly a year; just not in the EU. So its not something that "popped up"

DS games are region free, and permanently will be - PSP's have the option of region coding, which is likely to start being used (if and) when the promised big titles come out.

PSP and DS both have around 30 titles, the difference being the PSP has launched with that many where as the DS has slowly built up to that number. The DS has been the top selling hardware of late, but PSP should take over that mantle now.

Aint the DS called the new Etch a Scetch, with that stupid pencil.

Its a stylus, and its not a new concept at all. Never heard of a PDA? Tablet PC? Its a lot better than a UMD reader that spits out discs if you move the unit too fast (which happened to every single demo model GAME had here)

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Having played both, there is simply no comparison. The DS is a GBA with 2 screens and games aimed at 10 year olds. The PSP is a portable PS2. The games are much more complex and take longer to program.

Is there anything MYOB doesn't 'know' about geekery?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Had a go on one a while back - they are good but are they really worth all that money?

I can't wait too play FM 2006 on my PSP, when that comes out. That will take the boredom away on a long away trip.

How long will the batteries last then

How long will the batteries last then

There was a rumour month ago, the batteries where going to last about 4 hours, but Sony squashed that rumour.
