PSP -- [Playstation Portable] [merged]

its called a PSP. its not a PS1 or a PS2. you have to buy the games all over again. but they dont have the same games as the current consoles games. (eg: metal gear solid has become metal gear acid) and there are only 25 games released so far

is it more like a ps1 or a ps2?

it has some ps2 games and some ps1 games on it

so are you saying the graphics on it can handle both ps1 and ps2???

no what im saying is theyve taken some ps1 games and some ps2 games and remade them so the psp can handle it

it's like a game boy... only better 🤺 and with PS titles

looks good

Hopefully Sony will back it with several good ports and many original games.. we'll see where we are in a year.

I hope when it gets released in the states the defects will be resolved.

What defects are there? Explain; or post a link to some sort of information? I haven't heard anything about the PSP's release in Japan. All info. would be much appreciated.

Edit: Got this from the DS thread... should be discussed here anyway:

or if the link does not work, "According to dozens of forum posts and lower-end game sites, many of the first PSPs released suffered from a variety of defects, including "dead pixels, dead drives, analog sticks not working and even falling off, and even screens with dust and 'air bubbles,'" according to Engadget. A more-spectacular alleged problem was the so-called "Master of the Flying UMD Guillotine Trick." According to reports--one of which even featured video evidence--if you twist the PSP a certain way, the UMD drive opens, causing the disc to come flying out like a throwing star. Luckily, GameSpot can address both of these rumors head on. While in Japan last weekend, GameSpot editors did observe some PSPs with dead pixels, but did not see any evidence of the other defects. As to the flying-disc glitch, we were brave enough to use one of our precious PSP units to test the theory. We stabilized the unit with our left hand, turned forward ever so slightly with our right and--SHAZAM!--out the disc popped.

Bogus or not bogus?: "Riddled" is a bit extreme, but there were defective models. Not entirely bogus. As for the flying-disc trick: Not bogus, in our experience."

Does the PSP have any bluetooth applications or access to the internet in any way?

It wont have Bluetooth or internet.

I will soon. They're working on it. It will come out likely within this year or the next.

On the internet not the bluetooth.

Well, the psp has been released. It seems sales look very positive. I called my local gamestop and Best Buy and guess what? Sold Out!

Not bad for Sony.

Can someone tell me if you can download movies from the comp to the PSP?
