The point of my argument was to make a PSone that uses the PSP as its display, battery, and controller.
But there'd be no point since it would just be a PSone, and a TV capture card for PSP.
the PSP 1.51 or later doesn't have any backwards compatibility at allWith what would it be backwards comaptable with? There was no PSP before it. I dont expect the GBA to be backwards compatable with the NES (yes I know of the awesomeness that is pocketnes)
Funny, I had one in march. Many had it in december of last year. That counts as it being out, you may not have been able to get one BUT it was still out.
Portable DVD players have had price rollbacks. Has the PSP?
Yes, Ive been finding them for cheaper than what I paid for in march
Most of those are either direct ports or direct sequels to games on the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, or they're cross-platform and available on the DS or GBA
No, most arent. Now again, what if he wants PSP specific games?
You can determine which model PSP you have by looking under the 120V on the UPC label. In North America, model ' ' and 'A' (firmware 1.50) have been cracked for homebrew, while model 'B' (firmware 1.52) hasn't. As of September 2005, stores have only model 'B'. If I go used, what's the most polite way to check firmware version over the phone while I have the yellow pages open to local pawn shops?
Irrelevant. It does have homebrew and lots of it.
For the price of a PSP, that's what you can get if you go with a DS.
What if he wants Or better graphics/audio/ai/physics, more enemies on screen at once, a bigger brighter LCD, online NOW, downloadable content, the homebrew, etc etc? I got what I paid for with PSP. It was worth its higher cost
Which country's dollars are you talking about? At Wal-Mart stores and Walmart.com I see portable DVD players for 120 USD, which coincidentally matches the price difference between the PSP and the Nintendo DS.
Now go back and compare the costs when PSP came out in MArch. I did when PSP came out and one of the things I like was that portable DVD players cost as much as PSP did, and Portable media players cost more, still do, and have smaller inferior screens (albeit higher capacity)
I think a pet button would have been more appropriate given the way you worded that
Yes, a few of these games are sequels or have related series.
And a lot of the DS games aren't
A lot of the PSP games aren't either
PS1 games through a Walkman-shaped accessory analogous to a GameCube Game Boy Player perhaps?
Done before, its called a PSone
Probably because a link port would have taken up extra space on the console that is otherwise used for the real headphone jack, and because they wanted to prevent people from using flash card kits based on a GBA link cable.
Then support multiplayer wirelessly.Developers may also like the fact they can throw 1.8G on a PSP disc
How long does it take a UMD drive to read 1800 MB of data?
Dumbest comment ever. Some PS2 games are 9 gigabytes, how long does it take a PS2 to load all that?
A system doesnt ever have to load the entire game in one sitting. Its broken up into seperate levels, seperate voice sampels for example. MGS4 isnt going to play through the 3 hours of audio back to back
What if he wants games PSP has? Or better graphics/audio/ai/physics, more enemies on screen at once, a bigger brighter LCD, online NOW, downloadable content, the homebrew, etc etc?
if you want to carry multiple ripped movies, you have to carry multiple $130 memory cards.
You need to shop around more, I paid $60 for one that can hold 2-3 movies and since then, the memory stick I can buy for that cost has doubled in capacity.
Even better. Some of us Anime nuts love japanese voices over the english ones.
What do you deem CD quality music?
Not MIDI, actually recorded audio. Although PSones MIDI was extremely good.
Current Nintendo DS game cards are up to 64 megabytes, meaning that DS games can stream compressed audio from the game card instead of using "OMG it's a MIDI file" music
I know, but dev's dont want to waste that much space or processing power on the DS. See GoldenEye's music as an example
Which did you mean? 32 kbps MP3? 64 kbps? 128 kbps?
I think Id be willing to put p with 64, but Id prefer 128. (Id actually prefer 320 but hey.)
I have no respect for Squaresoft's everspanning FMV RPGs. You want to watch a movie, buy a movie. I want to play the game.
Games like Metal Gear Solid 3 use like 2 minutes of FMV for some live action footage of a nuclear stockpile, and the rest of the game is in engine footage, and still takes up multiple gigabytes. Beyond Good and Evil has 2 minutes of footage for a demo video when you leave the main menu idle for a minute. I dont know about you, but I still like decent textures, detailed 3D models for characters and levels, voice samples, CD quality music, and you know, all that other stuff that takes up space. Its not just FMV that takes up space.
The DS cart is Matrix Semiconductor 3d FRAM, and the block mechanism allows a theoretical limit of 4 gigabytes
No, it doesnt. 4 gigabits wouldve been beleivable, but 4 giabytes is a blatant lie
At a cost of $10 per 64 megabytes according to Matrix
No publisher will ever pay that much for a game that large
with no load time
Actually there is load time. Ive played Star Wars ep 3 on a DS with 6 seconds of load time.
but I figured I'd at least explain to you that UMD is the smaller, not the larger, of the two storage systems.
Obviously not, or I wouldnt be asking for Perfect Dark on the DS. Now go back to your bridge
And if you're that pathetic to threaten someones life because you (incorrectly) think they hate a piece of technology, you need to seek psychological help fast. You're a sick demented person, and need to be isolated from society
Seen the article where Miyamoto admitted he made numerous gameplay related mistakes in Windwaker as well? Twilight princess will have better graphics, and better gameplay. Win win.
Personally I'm 38, my kids were 11 when they played Windwaker, and I loved the emotive cartoon style. We haven't seen games that more gracefully bring across emotional reactions by the characters.
Slashdot Mirror
Then he'd have bought a DS already and this wouldnt be an issue.
how can you prevent a 1.5 PSP from becoming a 1.51 or later PSP if all future titles force a firmware upgrade?
This'll do nicely
Bigger means more stuck pixels
Bigger screen also means harder to notice those smaller dead pixels.
I want an open source box design. That plays OGG
But there'd be no point since it would just be a PSone, and a TV capture card for PSP.

Rogue agent. And that wav sounded pretty decent.
No it didn't.

No it wasnt, have you even owned one? It couldnt even run Sonic at a decent framerate
Oh, and like PSP, it also had a multimedia gimmick of its own called the TV tuner
Was it built in?
Even now, I would take a GG over a PSP anyday
PSP can emulate the Gamegear
I think a pet button would have been more appropriate given the way you worded that

Maybe cause its the first to support it? Ive never seen an OS with as few (3) updates as the PSP.
You need to shop around more, I paid $60 for one that can hold 2-3 movies and since then, the memory stick I can buy for that cost has doubled in capacity.

Ace Combat 5's Flight Stick 2 is better
No one. Good thing PSPs screen isnt tiny. It also looks as big half an arms length away as a 25 inch tv does across the room
Games like Metal Gear Solid 3 use like 2 minutes of FMV for some live action footage of a nuclear stockpile, and the rest of the game is in engine footage, and still takes up multiple gigabytes.

like DVD?
PSP, since you got the games reversed there.

Perfect Dark was not listed
I agree, I was quite disappointed that Prince of Persia got a sequel and BG&E wont.
I never implied that, I was implying your "we" meant the gaming public in general, and if it didnt you should broaden your choices.
You also missed Beyond Good and Evil which was a rather family friendly game.

Yes we have
