does anyone know anything about the psp like release date game lists price etc.

Half a million will be out by this year's end.

Takes 20 seconds to load a game.
10-15 seconds to load in-game. Double Fang.

4 hour battery life in several situations.

Constant Wi-Fi drags it down to 2 hours.

Cost of an extra battery is $45.

A small precent of consumers have air bubbles and or dead pixels in their screens.

and by twisting the psp a little the door in the back will open.

Games-
Ridge Tacers
Armored Core: Formula Front
Hot Shots Golf
Lumines
Vampire Cronicle: The Chaos Tower.


So-
Normally- Meh batteries...
Online-Pathetic...

Talk about none reliable

The PSP is gunna be filthy!

No, not really.

Let's say your wanting to play online on a trip. So, yeah.

A trip out of state usually takes 3 or 4 hours.

So, if you brought your PSP with you, you'd run out 1/2 or 2/3 of the way there.
Or, when you get there, you have REALLY low batteries and have to charge it when you get there, making it a real hassle, and this is with fresh batteris.
After a year, let's say, the internal battery loses 15 minutes(just a guess) of it's life. Less time. Now you can't play the whole trip. The thing will stay out two years, and if you charge it for 2 years, let's say, that's about one or two thousand charges, the battery will probably lose 10-30% of it's life. Not a good thing...

Let's say you are going on a vacation and travel all day.
You'll run out of batteries way early.


Sony has never had a good reliability. Except with non-systems.

Just stick with the DS. Besides, the PSP launch titles are going to be pathetic.

Except maybe Tales of Eternia if they release it.

[MooMooFarmOwner]

Jus take a look at this unbaised review from a person on the Nintendo Forums. http://forums.nintendo.com/nintendo/boa ... e.id=17897 He will lay all your troubles aside with PSP's supperior gameplay and graphics.

Superior?

Come on, look at it. Ridge Racer was also released on the DS. There's nothing superior about that.

Then the guy stil doesn't like the loading times. They are insane.


Movies? Sucks batterylife. One movie, your PSP is done for.

Well at least the PSP can play movies, I was in EB games last night playing Metroid Prime Hunters with my friend, and we both commented on how crappy the DS is, then the store manager came around and told us that the DS sales have dropped while the PSP reserves have skyrocketed. Hmm I wonder why DS is failing? Maybe it's the shoddy graphics? Maybe it's the outdated touch screen? If I wanted to play a game using a Touch Screen I would just go get my palm Pilot from 1994 and use the Touch screen on that.
