IGN gets excited over playing MP3's

[Ace195]

Not to be mean or anything oh great xantar the migty *bows before him* but your prices are way way way off, 256 mb memory stick on the first site I looked at is 56 dollars. and thats best buy thats not even comparison shopping fot the lowest price..
Here is a link for anyone that wants one..

I'm all for the DS I love the touch screen and everything, however all those getting mad about the mp3's look at the GBA's ability to play tv shows by buying the media.

So I mean each of them has their own downfall. I personally like the DS and I plan on getting one but I don't see the point of paying 150 for something that wont do my e-mail and planner, eh so I'll stick with getting my palm for the time being until these drop in price.


And that folks is ace195's 2 cents

Ok, I guess that site I was looking at was either way off or had really old prices for some reason.

So now for $56, you can get two hours of music. That is assuming you don't store anything else on that Memory Stick such as saved games. Or photos.

I'm still very underwhelmed.

But at least IGN isn't getting excited about the possibilities of movie playback on the PSP. That would be just...stupid.

Well... It's supposed to be a nice extra, like the DVD player on the PS2. But the PS2 sold better for that than for games.

It's a nice feature for those that have no MP3 player yet. But I'd rather spare battery life.

lol, not exactly.



and mp3 playback i dont think eats up much batterylife. something like 8 to 10 hours for mp3's i thought?

Well I meant in the first months of the PS2 life. Forgot to add that part.

8-10 hours for MP3?? I expected it to be much more... since the screen can be turned off.

Try 1-2 hours for my iPod.

Silly iPod. The battery is like non existant these days. I think you can actually buy batteries for it. I saw them on Ebay. But how do you open it?

i knew what you meant,, and still no. not really.

mp3 players get like 8 to 15 hours usually. so its to be expected that it gets around that.

ipod actually the metal part can just slide off. get something small and wedge it between the edge of the metal and the edge of the face and you can start to seperate it.
