PSP

[Patrick]

My friend got a PSP on ebay, and I think it seems pretty cool. First thing it comes in a case to keep it in. It's got movie trailers, music videos, internet, and of course games. It's got more features too, probably.

I like the the way it was made. It's bigger than it looks, bigger than a Gameboy Advance but still handheld. I heard a GTA game was coming out for it.

 

[Tarvis]

I want one but can't afford it.

 

[egonboy]

yeah a few of my friends have them they look preaty cool but you have to buy a screen guard it doesn't come with one

 

[Don Francisco]

You can buy mine. There are absolutely no games for it. I wouldn't have gotten it if it weren't for me being in Japan. Oh well, GTA: Liberty Stories might be good. But most likely the PSP will continue gathering dust on my bookshelf.

 

[egonboy]

I'm waiting for the price to drop and the ff7 titles to come out on it first

 

[egonboy]

vash you are aware the psp's don't play dvds correct?

 

[aaron]

but lets imagine you do put the money into the psp.. those things are incredibly sweet. if you have a good library of psp movies that thing would be nice to have. its biggest problem is the restricted compatibility.

 

[Don Francisco]

UMDs are worthless. They cost more than DVDs and drain PSP's battery like crazy.

 

[egonboy]

yes but some movies like advent children are being planed to come out in umd first

 

[egonboy]

No vash they are not see dvds are on discs and UMDs are cartriges with little discs in them.

UMDs are worthless. They cost more than DVDs and drain PSP's battery like crazy.

But not only are they a hell of a lot more portable than a TV and a DVD player, they cost around $15-$20. And there's a suprisingly large selection of them. AND, the battery lasts just about as long as gameplay battery life: 6 hours. Unless, of course, you're stupid and set the volume to max and the backlight to its brightest setting constantly.

 

[Don Francisco]

Ever heard of a portable DVD player?

 

[Tarvis]

I hate those things. I got one for my ex for her birthday one year and all it did was break. That fucker wasn't cheap either. $300.

 

[aaron]

i've got a portable dvd player.. its called a laptop.

The PSP is wankery. Plain and simple. Maybe if the batter lasted longer it'd have some merit. Or some really worthwhile games. As UMD is worthless (except to trendykids) and I'd rather just get the DVD and be able to play it where I am. And I don't expect there will really ever be a UMD rental business that is worthwhile. :\ 3 movies for free whenever I want them > expensive portable media format that is really just wankery.

I'd rather play a NeoGeo Pocket Color, anyway. ;.;

 

[Tarvis]

wank. wait. who the hell are you

 

[Patrick]

pretty sure its a new member, not an old one.

 

[Kuro]

I'm like magic, if you really need to know. Or majick, if you prefer the spelling.

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

i prefer magic, mm'kay?

Ever heard of a portable DVD player?

You mean those new-fangled things with batteries that last half as long as PSP?
