PSP = Big Problems - Page 2

no changes need to be made as of now. the only issue, is the battery thing.

nothing else is an issue. he said the analog stick isnt a true analog stick, but its hard to tell the difference, thats a GOOD thing. be it as it may, that its hard to do very slight adjustments, its still way better off then the dpad.

the video thing, for thoes people who are going to be putting videos on themselves and coding them to to the right format and all that. are going to know what they're doing, so finding a way to do that is easy for them. the other people i doubt will even be messing with that. thats not a prob.

and for fingerpints on the screen. dont touch the screen! thats the same for any handheld. which all get finger prints and are all easy to wipe off using your shirt.

I wonder who saw this coming.

Oh and another thing about PSP's battery life... I can't remember if it comes with extra batteries, or if you have to buy them... But either way, get an extra set of batteries and (although you'd have to stop in the middle) switch off...

Plus I heard PSP's battery's charge fairly quick... at least when compared to the DS... So if you really wanna go on a gaming binge somewhere where you have access to an outlet, use up batteries, replace and charge, repeat

Or just use the dern AC adapter if you have access to an outlet..

I consider the Mp3 playback mentioned an issue for PSP buyers. I'd expect something a little more user friendly from Sony, Mp3 playback should be seamless. Hang on do you just have to rename mp4's? Or do you have to rename Mp3's too?

But the battery life is of course the biggest issue. I know how much it can be a pain, from my iPod. I'd hold off from buying one until this is fixed (or maybe it won't be an issue by the time of release)

Interesting gossip:
said consider the Mp3 playback mentioned an issue for PSP buyers.
What?I've lost the context, . Are we still on consider the Mp3 playback mentioned an issue for PSP buyers?
Yes I always have to rename Mp3's.Are they exactly the same?
How do you know? More than you might think. What would make you hold off from buying one until this is fixed or maybe it will not be an issue by the time of release?

thoes are talking about VIDEO files. mp3's are simple. you save em on the memory stick and you play them.

What they're talking about up there (mp4's so to speak) are people trying to get the psp to play video files other then from UMD discs.

Totally defeats the purpose. If you have access to a wall outlet, play your PS2.

if you didn't believe me about the PSP shooting out the UMD's, here's a video of it... POS-P is more it...

haha, "whoops"

bobcat · 12-15-2004, 05:25 AM

lol.

I like the count down part. That is so funny.

I guess that'd suck if ur playing something like FFVII and u didn't save for a very long time then suddenly it pops out...........and to make matters even worse it pops out and falls into like a drain or something on the street.

I think that'd be pretty funny if it happened to somebody I didn't know

I didnt know wall outlets had monitors

Have you never played a handheld game in an environment with wall outlets nearby?

Exactly... I work at an ice cream store... In the winter, I'll probably get 3 customers in the period I work... So I bring along a portable gaming system...

I couldn't bring my PS2 to work, could I? But there are obviously wall outlets I could use so as to not waste batteries...

Maybe you don't have a TV in your room or you're part of a family with only 1 TV or so... Someone's using the TV... No PS2 for you, wanna play games? How bout that PSP... Since you're in your house, plug it into the wall...

Besides, if the handheld games are good enough, why not still play them at your house anyways? Just because a game system is portable, doesn't mean it's ONLY selling point is that you play it out of the house, but once you get home the system becomes obsolete and the games boring...

Quite rarely, myself. I virtually never do. Most places I go with the intent to play a handheld system aren't equipped with a wall plug. For example, I was just in the Mall of America the other day playing Mario 64 DS with three complete strangers for a long while. It wouldn't have been possible if not for long battery life, because there were no outlets that I could find.

And in some respects it's an issue of principal. I shouldn't have to plug it in just because the battery life is attrocious. It won't be my problem until I buy a PSP. And I'm not going to make it my problem. Either it gets fixed or I'm not going to get one.
