Cool! I thought that thing wasn't out here for ages....

Oh and where did you get your keyboard from? I'm assuming it's a light up one?
 
It's an import ...

...and I got the eluminX off ebay for 50 quid
 
Very nice, and now.. give it to me! ;)

Damn, it's so sexy.. rahr.

Crumbs! £50? I'll get an imitation one for a bit cheaper ;)

What games you got with it?
 
Just Ridge Racers at the mo, my mate is goin to Hong Kong in a bit, he's gonna bring me back a heap of UMD games really cheap.

:D

The graphics are awesome, ridge racers looks almost like project gotham racing 2 on the xbox ... they've done an awesome job with it!

really?
 
Christ, for a little box of tricks that's awesome! Looks better than N64 games, thats the sort of quality I was expecting
 
Cool. But what's with the oversized box? What kind of peripherals does it come with? It looks damn sweet though :D

The PSP is like a small PS2 (both in size & kinda performace wise) so it's no wonder it looks better than the N64 or NDS.

Edit: I think this ought to be in the Games section too ;)
 
another questiong
you can do more whit that thing appart of play videogames?
like reproduce music?
 
It came with a case, strap, headphones (iPod style), in-line remote control (for video/mp3 playback), a 32mb memory card, charger (japanese), battery, manual (thats all in japanese)... thats about it I think.

Ridge racers and a british plug adapter for the charger also came with it (but not in the box, for obvious reasons).

I've added the PSP onto my wireless network, I'm gonna have a few net games of ridge racers soon, from my sofa :D

I hope Sony release a web browser & email client for the PSP, it would be so easy to do since it already has wireless access.


edit: yes RJMC, it also plays videos, mp3s, pictures, and acts as a secondary storage drive when plugged into a USB2 port (needs no drivers in XP)

cool

but whats the price?

well whatever the price is sure will be very expensive in my country

btw the games are on CD or DVD or a special format?
 
lePobz, is the memory card Sony Memory Stick? I'm thinking of getting a PSP and if it does use MS, it'd work well with my Vaio...
 
it's not a memory stick, its a 'duo' ... unless a memory stick is a duo .... anyway, its like a small version of a SD card.
 
the UMD discs come with games on them, they're not writable... so i'd say it depends on the game you buy :)

They probably aren't any more expnsive to produce than your average CD.

Duos are mini memory sticks, I have one in my phone (p800). They come with adapters to make them into normal sized memory sticks so you can stick them in your cameras or whatever.
 
Ah right I see, well yeah it has a duo port, and comes with a 32mb duo card.
 
Looks awesome pobz! I want one, i saw the new slimline ps2 which i wanted, but is a tad pointless. This thing looks even better, problem i feel is they want you to play your loved games portable, so i'd end up buying two different versions of a game. Making more money and me losing it :( No way we can use the original versions to convert onto the psp? what bit is it btw?

They will. Saw it on a Swedish forum. Among lots of other cool stuff via Firmware updating.
-Text-to-speech
-Addition of support for SonicStage EMD and news transmissions (as in, RSS)
-Calculator
-Audio chat
-3 new games inside the PSP itself
-PSP mail software
-PSP word processor and spreadsheet
-PSP web browser
-PSP scheduling software
-Fix 00
-Fix 002

Dunno what the two last do though :) It's from some Japanese site. Some outside company has apparently managed to increase the battery capacity by 3x too :)

And this is kinda cool too.
 
DS meet your maker...i bet there will be a ton of good stuff to put in the PSP. A SNES\Genesis\N64?\Whatever Emulator for the PSP would be sweet....
 
Yeah get both a PSP & a DS. Play on your PSP until the battery runs out. Recharge while playing on your DS. Problems solved...
