"PSP Pics"

OK, I'm sure everyone has seen loads already, but this the first time I've thought to myself: "Damn, I want one".

I would never normally consider a handheld but the shinyness and that screen has brought out the magpie in me.

Some info from OPM2 (Official Playstation2 Magazine-Belgium) apparently, though dunoo how true it is:

Games tested on a imported PSP.

* Game: Ridge Racers
* Type: Singleplayer
* Volume: max.
* Screen Res.: max.
* Battery Life: 3h30min.

* Game: Ridge Racers
* Type: Singleplayer
* Volume: max (headphones)
* Screen Res.: max.
* Battery Life: 5h10min.

* Game: Ridge Racers
* Type: Multiplayer (WiFi)
* Volume: max (headphones)
* Screen Res.: max.
* Battery Life: 2h45min.

* Game: Vampire Chronicle
* Type: Singleplayer
* Volume: 50%
* Screen Res.: max.
* Battery Life: 5h5min.

Would be nice to have some battery info for when playing video/music though.


Also from the magazine I think:

Samsung is now the producer of the TFT screens (used to be Sharp).
This should guarantee no more dead pixels.

Samsung will also produce the new MPCs (microchips for the PSP).
These new MPC's will use up to 2.5 times less the battery power than the old MPCs.

99% of all PSPs that will be released in the US and Europe will have this new technology.

I was even considering selling my GP32 last night because I want a PSP so baaaad.

Might wait for a few top games to come out first though, Pro Evo etc.

THEN i'll properly consider.

What can I say? she's a beaut.

The malfunctioning square button was only on a few hundred machines, it's not a fault with every PSP.

I must say I have no idea what the hell this is all about - I'm guessing that some people are either very heavy-handed or they've been watching some questionable material on the PSP. I can't think of any other reason why that button would be sticky.....

And yes, the Ridge Racer intro is something quite special and it just isn't the same until you've actually seen it 'in the flesh' so to speak.

For some reason cartoons do look very good on it though. I've got Futurama and The Simpsons on mine and both look incredibly impressive.

The photo's also look superb and that's a very handy feature. Now that digital cameras are so popular, I find I take plenty of pics but don't show them to enough people.

The screen on my Camera isn't enough to show it off, burning to disc requires effort (how lazy!), printing I just don't do (sorry about the jobs Kodak) and crowding around a PC isn't always practical.

So having the pics on the PSP is absolutely brilliant and the slideshow feature is pretty handy too.

And that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.





And I've seen porn.

Does the screen use the X-black technology? My laptop has it, very good screen.

i'd want one just to be able to fire UMDs at people.

"so you think I'm just playing a PSP, no threat to you, huh?" BAM, dead. ahahaha

The shininess does look a little offputting. Looks like as soon as you play it with a light above you, you get a nice reflection of that light instead of being able to see the game you're playing.

However the rest of it does look very nice.
