PSP

[Aflux]

Thinking of getting one, someone with one tell me what they're like without being a fanboy :P

Ta.

[Ezzie.]

I'm on even sides of the road..

had enough with the ps2.. going to get an xbox, so i'm fairly unbias

my advice?

DO NOT GET THE PSP.

Seriously.. i have one.. it's cool at first.. but the games are so bad on it.. it's just. eurgh -.-

[cocaine]

PSP slim and lite is the new one, it's awesome, seriously.

[Neil]

They're good but the games suck after a while, getting one flashed is the best option because then games are free lol

[Technologic]

They're good for movies in the car but otherwise they're crap.

(Me, insulting a sony product?!)

Plus the analog sticks come off really easily

I heard it's better without it lol

[Ezzie.]

my analog stick comes off tons also.. god i haven't played it in like 2 years it's that bad :p

[MrGazet]

I have it.Yeah its cool as 1st but its boring now.Avnt played mine much. go get summin else tbh :)

[reindeer.]

you dont need it flashed to play free games, just stick 'em on the memory stick :)

[Energizer]

they're total crap. don't get one, seriously.

[Neil]

Newer patches don't let you do that, you need custom firmware to play newer games from the memory stick aswell

[Aflux]

People saying 'they're crap' without giving a reason aren't exactly the brightest spark connected to the electrical circuit.

I'm in the 'common room' in 6th form quite a lot so is it good for like music, movies and games like, an hour everyday or so?

Yea last year me and my friend just sat and played sonic rivals xD

[Aflux]

Yea lol

We got lucky on fridays because it was like a free period and then lunch so we just sat for two hours playing it, sometimes we went on GTA and played about on that lol

[Aflux]

Is it free-roam GTA or limitations?

[Neil]

GTA:VCS you can free roam, if you do the death match game mode you can go anywhere it's pretty cool

[Aflux]

Ahh nice.

I'll end up getting both xD

[awelsh]

I dont really like it that much.

I havent played on mine at all for ages. The sound isnt loud enough I dont think either(might just be mine thats screwed though)

Only ever use mine to watch family guy or simpsons on there which ive downloaded onto memory stick.

Okay, I'll carry my Wii and TV around with me to school and that.

Moron.

[sock]

ye I loved it at first but then it was really crap and boring.

[L!nK.]

IMO I don't really like the PSP, thats for games that is, but your just going to use it for outgoings if so, then its ok I guess.

The music is good though and movies, and other stuff, but the games are not too good.



but they are playable.

[yido]

there fun to have but battery time aint that gd

[Aflux]

6 hours isn't good?

[BowTies1]

good for outside like long car journeys or when your not at home :) but when your insiide youll find your not touch it once

[Aflux]

How can you put the PSP down?

It's good for what it's made for, handheld gaming.

I got one a Saturday, 135 for slim with FIFA 08.

That's not true, I play my PSP all the time

[Hitman]

I'm thinking about getting a PSP too, Aflux what do you think about yours?

My Chinese friend has one, with games on a memory card so he doesn't need to pay - he has this thing with photo viewer, web browser etc... I'm going to get it but I need to know something; Are the new ones (slims) still able to be 'cracked/flashed' or not?

[Aflux]

It's better than I thought.

I use it at school a lot because I'm in college so it's all fun. GTA's are great and it's just overall good.

The web browser is slow but what do you expect?!

:P

[Neil]

PSPs are awesome if you're at school or college, just don't use it in lessons ;)

[Affreux]

Im getting one for christmas recommend any games?

[Mortalized]

I had it for about 2 months and got bored of the gameplay..

Use it for films though..

:D I'm hopefully getting one.

Sounds good, does it have GTA: San andreas?

True, but it's good for emails if you're out. :D

I'm going to get mine "flashed" or whatever you want to call it, so I can play games from the memory card. :D

[Aflux]

Just GTA Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories.

Oh and if you're into football - FIFA 08 for it is ace.

[Josh-H]

I had one two years ago. Big waste of money.

I never found a game for it that I enjoyed.

[alexxxxx]

I haven't tried pirating games for it, cause my torrent speed is crap, but it appears really easy.

they are kinda decent tbh. but i wish they had a better web browser.

lucky bugger ^^
I got one but it doesn't seem to be working :(

:P

What's up with it? If it's new, male sure the battery is in!

[Wig44.]

:P

It is! I'm charging but the light that is supposed to light up when charging hasn't lit up :(
It wont turn on at all.

AAAHHH ****!!

[Aflux]

Turn plug on dude xD

[Wig44.]

Turn plug on dude xD

It is! :(

Oh and when i flick the power button into 'hold' I see the hold LED light up a TINY bit.

[Aflux]

Should be orange when charging, check the wires aren't crossed or bent or whatever.

[Wig44.]

I know its meant to be orange and it isnt

And if they are bent does that have any effect on charging?
Will.

EDIT: If I put the power button into the hold position when its supposed to be charging the hold lights up orange but a little faintly.

The model I've got is PSP-1004 k according to its box.

[awelsh]

there isnt a hold light its just a simple yellow plastic thing :P

try fiddling with the cable a bit or something, is it new?

[Wig44.]

brand new and by the looks of things its buggered.

That has bloody spoiled my day, gone out of pocket and waited ages for a piece of plastic which is probably broken. Does anyone know what the problem might be, from the symptoms provided?

[Aflux]

If there's no orange light, that means it's fully charged or the battery isn't connected properly.

Take it off charge and flick the power switch up and see if it comes on. If not, take the battery out and put it back in [following instructions].

[awelsh]

there might be a little plastic cover over the bit inside the psp where to battery goes, if there is remove that.

Yeah, the battery might not be connected.

My dads GF got me my PSP, charged it fully and guess what? She forgot to put the battery in LOL! :P

[Jackbee]

Rubbish usually.
Put custom firmware on it, so good. You can do many things, free games, cool applications like free radio, game boy emulators, ds emulators, n64 emulators and so much more.

[Verrou]

^^
Where to get the custom firmware etc? And what do you do to get it "flashed"?
