yeh pretty sure PSP has wireless multiplay of some description, bet it doesnt have download play though where only one player needs the game...

By hardware features i was mainly referring to processing power / memory PSP shits over DS in this department.

But ive always been an advocate of graphics dont make the game. . so yeh doesnt bother me.

I got one about two months ago and I've got to say that there fucking awesome :grin:

But only if you have the money to spend on them its set me back a fair bit buying a larger memory card for it, and games, and yes you can play multiplayer wirelessly :)

i have one but i havent had a real chance to make it do cool things yet, need a usb cable and a 2gig memory stick


i've got 2 movies to watch on it, the quality is sweet and i've played v8 super cars on it, and i sucked badly.

my only complaint is that the volume is rather quiet

i love em..
dont have one, as i dont have time to really justify its purchase, but one thing i really think it needs is an AV out - to u can connect your t.v to it to play wen ur home etc.

it would cross over the playstations duties a bit, but would be sweet.

quality is excellent.

heard the enxt version will have built in mobile phone etc in it,.

i've owned 3 psps, and had my first one since they first came out in Japan. Love it to pieces, and use it every day on the bus to work.

It is an expensive system to own, given the price of the unit, memory cards, and games.

I find the volume is to low on the psp, its just to quiet to enjoy the full sound of music. But other then that from a media pov the system is brilliant for a portable device.

Ive had mine for a while now, no real issues with it. Anyone have dead pixels yet?
Games are a bit rich though, have NBA, Twisted Metal, NFS Most Wanted, Ridge Racer & Tony Hawk at the moment. You can also download saved games off the net, wallpapers ect ect.......... wicked :)

I have one. Well....actually I have two, but I'm going to give one to my bro for Christmas.

Patch: What firmware does your PSP have? 1.52? That's what mine had and it's crackable. You upgrade to v2 then use to downgrader to go back to v1.5. You can fit 10-20 SNES games on the crappy 32Meg card they give you with the PSP...but now I've got my 1gig one I play whatever I want. Lumines and Wipeout atm.

its got v2.50
i can upgrade it even further but im not gonna.

the guy's ebay page says this

Q: What is the Firmware on this white PSP auction? Does it still play all those emulators?
A: The firmware on this one is 2.5. No this wont play those emulators. I have old 2.00 firmware plus 1 GB which can play all those emulators and isos for extra.

i wonder if its possible to sort the card out on one thats got v2.00 on it and then try it??

Wont make a difference, it's a limitation built into the 2.01 and up firmware to stop piracy. The memory card simply stores the data, it's the firmware within the PSP that stops homebrew etc.

However you can run some homebrew now using the 2.0 firmware, but 2.01 and up atm are yet to be cracked.

/me pats 1.50 PSP
