Sony PSP/Vita

Re: PSP - The Official Thread

I really want one of these and I just barely have enough money (either for one of these or towards a laptop) - but what are the must-have games for it? The only game I've really been attracted to so far is Football Manager 2006, and that doesn't look like it has the 2D match engine which is naff (so I'd rather have the laptop), and isn't out until Christmas (so I might as well hold out for a UK PSP in-case of any future "issues")!

What games are you lot loving (apart from "Everybody's Golf" etc. which I wouldn't play in a million years)?

How does it work?
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

something to do with playing in AD-Hoc mode. Im not entirely sure.

i might just use my 32mb card for game saves i spose. Makes sense :).

Can wait till the 512MB card comes! im gonna put star wars episode 3 on it :D yay.
Great time to own a PSP, as the homebrew and dev scene is moving along faster(hint hint)

am i correct in thinking that this will (in theory) increase the battery life of the psp, between charges, from 4 hours up to 14 hours?
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

indeed sir. and if you have big hands its so much better to hold while playing
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

Grrr just noticed about 6 dead pixels watching an episode of 24, now I cant help but see them all the time, ffs..... I checked it before I bought it aswell, god dammit. I doubt the place I bought it will take it back... so what do I do..... send it to Sony Japan?


Edit- The shop I got it from says they will exchange it :D

Are the 1000K versions any good (seemingly the only one I can afford I found in a shop in Liverpool today, but it's a 1000K version - I presume that's the BIOS, and that it's a bad thing)?

Also, do you think that waiting until the UK release will hold any benefits (I don't want to get one of these only for Sony to say when Football Manager's out "you don't have a UK PSP so you can't play it")?

I might wait for the UK version and see if the battery life gets improved... Good idea\bad idea? What's all your battery lives like?

Battery life is pretty good, I haven't actually ran out once yet, but I charge it every 2 - 3 nights.

The PSP itself is region free, but its down to the developers discretion to region lock their games. So if you have a Jap PSP, there's always a chance you may not be able to play some games, dependant on whether or not they're region locked to the UK or US.

I can't imagine developers would do that though!
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

Everybodys Golf is the best game on PSP at the mo.

It just keeps you playing for ages. Lumines and Mercury didnt get this much time in my PSP.

*runs off for another round*

if it's even half as good as the ps1 or ps2 versions, i'll be delighted - i loved those games! 'everybody's golf vs. tiger woods' is like the 'pro evo vs. fifa' debate. whereas most people buy the later 2, everybody's golf and pro evo are enjoyed by those in the know!
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

so what's the difference between the bios/system versions?

i'm about to get a PSP this week and i wanna be able to do all the cool stuff such as watchin movies, pics, mp3, etc.
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

Nothing except that on the very first JAP version (1.0), you can run homebrew and emulators meaning you play SNES, NES, GB/C, and a few other console games on the PSP.
Which I think is a good reason to get a 1.0 PSP. I have 1.5 but I'd kill for a 1.0 right now.
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

so, version 1.0 would be 1000 or 1000K right?

but movies are region coded, right?
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

I have a V1 machine, woo hoo
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

is it possible to have a psp-1000, but have firmware 1.5?

on the box, mine says psp-1000, but how do i check which firmware revision i have?
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

Just got one for £130 :) What are the must-have games then? So far I've got Wipeout Pure, World Tour Soccer and Ridge Racer (is it better than NFS) on my to-get list...

Edit: Yikes - where sells them cheapest?

hot shots golf - you MUST get this! i know you think you'll hate it, but you won't! underneath the cute graphics is an shit-hot golf game, in fact - the best out there...
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

yes i bought it for 20 quid hot shots or everybodys golf as u may know it here,its amazing game top class even if you dont like golf its still good
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

Not into golf... Sorry, but I'm the one missing out I suppose!! Any other games due for release soon? Oh and what's the best screen protector thing?
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

Is it really that good? I must buy it then.
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

SHIT. I've got a US version, misleading bastard arsehole. Is the screen really that much less clear than the Japanese version? Any links with more info about this?
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

and if u have the us vesion psp u cant get english movies
 
Re: PSP - The Official Thread

I'm not bothered about the movies; no way am I getting a UMD when I could get a DVD.

After a bit of research apparently the difference isn't worth worrying about; for the cost of a slightly duller screen you have less chance of dead pixels with a US PSP (apparently). Which is a massive relief.
