If the gpx dev scene is a vibrant as the current gp32 dev scene it should be quite a machine. You can't beat playing snes games on your morning train journey.
Frank Horrigan Vault 35	Posted - 2005.08.26 17:41:00 - [6] I just ordred one and wipeout pure off newegg.. shoud be here like monday.. Ill stop by this topic then i guess
Shinnen Caldari Interstellar Brotherhood of Gravediggers The 0rphanage	Posted - 2005.08.26 21:20:00 - [7] I imported my PSP from Japan a while ago, it's a nice console, wipeout:pure is an ace game, and get a nice ms so u can put vids and music on it. Seriously worth the money

Frank Horrigan Vault 35	Posted - 2005.08.27 04:22:00 - [9] I hear you can make wallpapers and use them without any hacks in the 2.0 firmware so im just doodling away in photoshop if anyone wants one just gimme a picture ill try and make it fit.. the end result has to be 480x272
Dray Caldari Euphoria Released HYDRA RELOADED	Posted - 2005.08.27 08:25:00 - [10] My brother and I bought the japanese versions, I cant fault it, so far its been allover the place with me and took a lot of stick and its still fine, Ive got ridge racer, lumies, metal gear acid, wipeout pure, and tiger woods golf, all excellent titles and I also bought a bigger mem stick for music. I cant fault it and its worth noting that im a dyed in the wool pc gamer, I have an xbox but thats no more than a glorified dvd player, Ive never had, been impressed by, nor wanted anything playstation, but this changed my mind, versatile and fun, ignore the hater buy one now. Btw if you do travel a lot a backup battery is invaluable.
Lunaticdie04 The Watchmen Of Corvus Journeys End Alliance	Posted - 2005.08.27 10:37:00 - [11] Can you put movies onto the memory stick and watch them that way on the PSP? The GPX2 gizmo looks pretty good but how much will it cost and will it ever come out in europe? It looks like one of those gadgets that will be native to the Far East only. Lucky bastards with their high gadgetery and pretty women.
DeMundus Beyond Divinity Inc Excuses.	Posted - 2005.08.27 12:25:00 - [12] Originally by: Lunaticdie04 Can you put movies onto the memory stick and watch them that way on the PSP? Yes, they take up from 300 mb to 1.2 gb. I even saw u can dl them, or convert ur own to the psp format. Iam gonna convert my BSG DVD collection
H0ot	Posted - 2005.08.27 14:02:00 - [13] My beef with the PSP is that it wants to be more than a handheld game console. Yeah it has a lot of neat functions, like wifi innerwebz and the ability to watch movies on a tiny display.. but what good is that when the games (so far) have all sucked?
Soros NibbleTek Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2005.08.27 14:15:00 - [14] I have one and it pwns.
Slaveabuser Amarr House Of Hades	Posted - 2005.08.27 19:20:00 - [15] How much does anyone use ahandheld......rwally im curious? If plays music? So does winamp, a cd player or a disman/mp3 player. It plays games? So does [insert system here] It has a web browser? so does [insert whatever you want here] It just a expensive toy.

So does winamp, a cd player or a disman/mp3 player. It plays games? So does [insert system here] It has a web browser? so does [insert whatever you want here] It just a expensive toy. It does exactly what it says on the box, and as anyone here will testify most handhelds suffer because of screen quality, not the psp, its screen is quite frankly superb for gaming and movies, everytime i use it im still impressed. The sound quality playback is also top notch, the guy who says the titles sucks obviously is to discerning for us mere mortals and has a big beef with the whole psp thing. It is in my opinion relatively cheap, and worth every penny. Like u say theres plenty of other items available that can do what it does, so it comes down to preference, as for the original post.... DeMundus you wont be disappointed.

Arvid Black Reign Origin	Posted - 2005.08.30 20:27:00 - [20] Edited by: Arvid on 30/08/2005 20:27:18 I pre-ordered a ceramic white japanese PSP w/firmware2.0 with Lumines and Metal Gear Acid a couple of weeks ago. I'll get them in 2-3 weeks and I'm really looking forward to that. :) ~Arvid

Ive filled up the 32 mb memory card that came with it with bout 70 pics, and 3 short videos I converted with this free program.. it woudent convert half the files i told it to though, like wmv files :/, using some photos as wallpapers, and i have to say this is a nice lcd, no dead pixels (was very paranoid about that) but thank god its perfect, the viewing angle is great, the games dont take long to load at all, here let me load up wipeout pure.... mm one sec seems i had to many tabs open on the interweb :P it froze.. gotta restart it, anyway the game basicayl starts up instantly, ok, took 17 seconds to load the level, not bad at all. anyhoo, I would post pictures but i packed everything up since im moving in a day or 2.. now im gonna go win more races..
