It sounds like your friend is the problem

On a more serious note, did this friend ever try running the calibration software on the initial boot screen that appears when you turn on the DS?

Stu you can't talk about nintendo fans like that when you are as bad as them with sony.

[Perfect Stu]

Not only can I...

I just did

Anything else?

Yes my friend ran the whole enchilada... to no avail.

In any case, I don't think Nintendo fanatics could never give an accurate review of a Sony product... as Sony fanatics could never give an accurate review of a Nintendo product....

In cases like these... there will always be more negatives pointed out then the positives.

I guess this really is a Sony vs Nintendo argument.

I believe that this thread was designed to list some potential problems with the PSP. I haven't seen a video of the Nintendo DS cartridge flying out while some1 is playing a game, or complaints about battery life. Therefore these are all valid points and worth bringing up.

At least I would like to know this before I buy my PSP.

I have heard some Sony fans on this forum complain about how they think the dual screen is not a feasible idea and has no potential, from the time of release, where there probably aren't enough games to even support this feature (early stages).

It kinda seems like there can be no wrong done by the PSP. The moment a problem is brought up, everyone goes on the defensive without even properly thinking about the problem and how it can affect users.

If people see problems with the PSP, and they think it's a big problem, then I say it's fine. But not to the point where they are saying "PSP is gonna fail" or Nintendo DS is gonna fail". It's too early to tell I guess.......

Sony fanboys are just as bad as Nintendo fanboys. At least I am a fanboy who can admit that the Gamecube is my least played console out of the 3 and the Ps2 shined this gaming generation. And also I am looking forward to both handhelds, but am a little skeptical about some of the PSP issues discussed in this thread (as most of you should be). Wait and see no?

well thats part of the problem, many of these arent problems at all, and are just points to make either one look bad.

it helps to know what exactly your looking at tho, the disc poping out, i dont see a disc poping out while someone is playing. i see someone torquing the thing, twisting the whole unit and looks to be trying to hit the eject button with one of his fingers behind it.

and actually the more i look at that damn video, the more it looks like its a camera trick and its upside down, it appears to be the disc is just falling out, but because of how the camera is making it look like its shooting out. Cant find the video right now but i remember when they showed em putting in a disc, there was no spring action to it. it slid in, and shut, pops open kinda like the old cassette tapes did, and you pull the umd out.



besides questionable battery life for psp, and pixel problems on ds, i dont see any major problems on either.

Yer at first I was thinking that it was a trick. I'm not sure though. It kinda looks like he's just playing it. But it could be.....who knows.
