Sony PSP

[the_dudefather]

my flatmate got a PSP with ridge racers and everybodys golf.

and i have to say how awesome it is. in the first 1 quick race i had i was completly gob smacked and blown away, the screen is really sharp and clear.

playing it is confortable and the flat sliding analoge stick is well done

i am -so- getting one of these

(especialy since a new gta has been annonced)

anyone else seen/got one yet?

Whats the battery life on it like? I heard it was short.

[the_dudefather]

about 5 hours, which in practice isnt bad

[Guitar Woman]

The GBA SP had 17... With the backlight on. :P

[the_dudefather]

but the psp has near ps2 quality games

it seems everyones only beef with the psp is the battery

[Guitar Woman]

And everyone's beef with the DS is JACK SHIT. Nintendo rises out of the ashes of it's defeat to own the gaming market once again!

[the_dudefather]

agghh negative vibes.

why cant both (handheld) consoles be seen as good eh?

on one hand ds has castlevania and a groovy touch screen and on the other PSP has gta and has totaly sweet hardware

(its going to be hard for me not to get both eventualy)

[Schimid]

I'm not interested at all by the DS. I tried playing on it, and it just felt awkward to me. I'm sure I'd get used to it, but I'm sure that I don't want to.

Might get a PSP. When the price drops considerably, of course. Then all the games'll be cheap, and it'll be like the Dreamcast. An awesome system that's awesomely cheap with awesome games. :o

[ArrowX]

THe only thing keeping me from getting the PSP right now is the price tag. The DS feels too akward to play a game with 3D conttrolls with a D-Pad, and it's stylus just screams "lose me"

[Guitar Woman]

If I rember correctly, The origional Playstation had a D-pad, and it worked just fine. :P

[ArrowX]

A D-pad that was quickly replaced with the Dual shock sticks.

Actually, my beef with the psp is that fact that it has near PS2 quality games. (by that, I mean most of PS2's lineup is shit)

DS is awkward at first, but you get used to it.

PSP shows *some* promise, but unless Sony learns from past mistakes when it comes to hardware (which they haven't, GameInformer confirmed that you can eject the disk simply by putting a slight twisting pressure on the system, like if you are really into a game).

The battery life is very off-putting, but another thing for me is that the PSP lacks any game I like! The Nintendo DS on the other hand has Super Mario 64 DS, which while more childish than anything on the PSP, looks like a much better game than the ones on Sony's handheld!!

I just hope that Capcom don't release Mega Man X9 on the PSP... Man, that would be harsh...

Sorry, but I thought that movie was very pointless and extremely short. Surely it could have lasted more than 7 seconds? 3/10

note how his finger moves towards the eject button

[Ninjavenom]

You can use the touch-screen on the DS without the stylus.

Oh gosh that video is lol

Actually, even IF he is pressing the eject button, that is another reason to find fault. The eject button should not be right next to the shoulder buttons. Poor planning on Sony's fault either way.
