And this is the PSP here. Fucking nice. It's gonna be a turn-based strategy game, with card game elements thrown in. It sounds really fun, even if it's not Metal Gear Solid action.

Words cannot describe how I feel about this thread....

THROW AWAY THAT GAMEBOY

[sports]

WAIT...is the PSP the new ''mini-ps2''? About the size of a gameboy advance?

[thebiggameover]

:eek

[sports]

One world.....

Also, Final Fantasy VII will be a PSP exclusive, to the best of my knowledge. There aren't many screens of games for the handheld, but there's a demo video for the PSP itself, except you have to be signed up to see it, and it kept fucking up when I tried to sign up.

Some more screens:

Ick thats even worse! Why the fuck does everything have to look like a GBA

The GP32 still owns the PSP anyday

[ProfessorCool]

You haven't even played it, so shutup.

[HickMan]

This looks gay. I love Metal Gear games, but I hate all games where you fight with cards. FUCKING GAY. Great graphics and all, but I have a feeling that most of the games are going to be on PS2 anyway. I'm not saying the PSP dosn't look like a quality system or anything, but I'm just going to wait it out and see how it does.

You're an idiot. First off, just because it'a horizontal handheld, it looks like the GBA? And that means EVERYTHING looks like a GBA? How about EVERYTHING looks like a Game Gear, faggot?

Second, I thought you were joking when you posted that picture, but I guess you weren't because you are retarded. It's a PSp; A one-of-a-kind handheld made by a guy to play Playstation discs (which are exposed in the back, and can hurt you pretty bad). He also made other for other consoles.

Third, I like this look. Preliminary designs showed the control buttons as being flush with the casing, which I really didn't like and couldn't imagine it being comfortable. The buttons do appear to be quite raised now, which I'm happy about.

[ArrowX]

I'm 15 and just barely remember the Game gear so leave me alone

I realize the Horizontal screen

I was just a bit curious as to why they couldn't have the Widescreen on a PS2 esq controllet type thingy.

I still like the GP32 better

[whoreable]

psp does appear like it is gonna be pretty huge. in size i mean.

specs do look good, but if you ahve to lug around something the size of a gamegear.....

[sports]

The PSP probably be expenisve when I 1st comes out...but then again, PS2 is now 150 bucks...PSP probably be...maybe 100 when it comes out.


The GP32 looks very good, better than the PSP imo. When did it comeout?

[HickMan]

100? try around 400.

[sports]

400 bucks for a handheld? I wouldn't buy it...be temtped...but still wouldn't buy it. Ofcourse, it will most likely have better games than the Game Boy Advance.

[Rongi]

100? try around 400.

Jesus Crutchety Christ that's more than when the PS2 first fucking game out! I mean it's amazing and everything but come on that's insanity.

[HickMan]

I know. But think about it, it's got more features then the PS2, and all that funky stuff. I'll just wait for it to go down. Go down a lot. And even then I still probobally won't buy it.

I was using the Game Gear as an example of another horizontal handheld. The PSP, I believe, is only slightly longer and thinner than the GBA.

As for price, it's not going to be $400 and I don't know where Hickman gets his information, or logic. The highest it's going to be is $200, IF THAT. The likely price is going to be $100-$150.

[HickMan]

I think E3 is a good source where to get information, don't you agree?

[thebiggameover]

last i hurd, it was going to be $200 us. i wont pay more than $150 for a handheld...

[James]

"Unfortunately, Sony did not announce a price point for the system so how much the unit will cost is still somewhat of a mystery. We expect officials to announce a more formal pricing structure at the upcoming ECTS or Tokyo Game show events; but we wouldn't mind if something a little meatier came down the pipeline before then."

From IGN. So as I said, Hickman, I don't know where you get your information from.

[HickMan]

E3 ON TECH TV. WITH MY OWN EARS.

[James]

Advent Children will be on both DVD and the PSP. So my bad.

Also, there was a new trailer shown at E3, but I'll be damned if I know where to find it online. >: It shows Tifa though, from a brief clip I saw on X-Play.
