IGN gets excited over playing MP3's
 
This little part in their PSP launch thing gave me a good laugh.

Quote:

We're currently working away at in-depth impressions of the games and the various features of the system, from music to movie playback (we're listening to MP3s right now!),
People still get excited over being able to play MP3's? It just amuses me how excited IGN gets just because they are listening to MP3's on their PSP. OMGOMGOMG LOLOLOLZ, I'm listening to MP3's on my handheld :p

(I'm not flaming the PSP, just poking fun at IGN :D )

I heard there is a way, using the USB port, to connect the PSP to your anus so you can fly.

They're just trying to cast a shadow on the DS's explosive, unrelenting success.

Guess what IGN? No one cares about listening to MP3's on a PSP. In fact, it completley blows. Cool people listen to MP3's on MP3 Players. What a novel idea!

Yes, and some people play games on Handhelds other than phones. Also, a novel Idea.

I dont see the difference of being able to play music on a phone, and playing music on a PSP. Or even an MP3 player. Can you play games on your MP3 player? No. Can you on a PSP? Yes.

PSP>MP3 Player.

Since you and I seem to be in opposing conflict again, why not let our GameTavern friends choose the winner?

Boys, teach this kid a lesson. :cool:

dissing up the PSP for playing MP3's is the same as dissing up an iPod for playing MP3's

having said that, "(we're listening to MP3s right now!)" sounds stupid.

but I'm looking forward to MP3 playback, as I dont have an MP3 player

Actually since an iPod's main purpose is to play mp3s, your comparison is invalid. Now if you were to say "dissing up an iPod for being able to play solitaire" then you might have something. Unless of course you feel the main purpose of the PSP is to games mp3s and not games...

GBA has been able to play mp3s for quite some time with a cartridge attachment. Don't see how much different that is from PSP where the mp3s are stored on a memory stick you must purchase.

Actually, Yes you can. the ipod comes with games on it. :p



And i find it halarious how people like to diss the psp instead of being excited about the DS. getting bored with the DS or something?

and to support Stu's comparason...

Its the same as dissing the DS for having picto chat.
Its the same as dissing the ipod for playing games.


I mean seriously, if you wanted to turn this same discussion around on DS, people were getting so excited about picto chat, OMG HAHAHA, HE HE HE!!! thats what phones, computer instant messengers, and letters are for!!! :rolleyes:

Both handhelds have thier extra features, and both will be used. who bloody cares?

(And this wasnt directed at you Jonbo :p)

What's important isn't whether you're right, or he's right, what important is that IGN are a bunch of dolts.

:D

Just so we're all clear on that.

What? Pictochat?

I'm sure a lot of people bought a DS for that. :\

And besides, you can argue that as a game. You can play games with it. :D

I think Stonecutter hit it on the head.

Why are we bickering amongst ourselves? This is a gaming forum, and both of these handhelds play games, and both have their special features. Its up to you which ones you like (and also which games you prefer) to decide what you want.

Let IGN be idiot fanboys for the PSP. They lose a little more respect everytime they do that.
