Sony PSP Pro's/Cons

[Dyne]

Well, unless you play literally all day with maximum volume and maximum screen brightness, you'll be fine.

You'll get about 6 hours with maximum everything while playing a game. For movies it's a bit less. For music it's a lot more. It's all acceptable battery life; so it's not that major of a con as people make it out to be.

ok thanks guys! much appreciated. I'll let you know on my decision after sept 1

I have a PSP and DS:



Pros: freaking awesome design.... very powerful, great graphics, huge brilliant/sharp screen. You couldn't make it better. Built solid, and it feels like you have something of value. Movies look great on it!

Cons: coolness wears off.... movies and games are too expensive, not very useful for listening to music because a good size (1 gig) memory stick is over 100 bux. No good games out right now. I feel like I am going to break something if I drop it though.


currently, I play my DS much more!! and the DS is a beast. Ugly yes, but sturdy as hell.

Overall, yeah, I'm glad I own one, just because. If I had less money to burn, I'd have waited for a good price drop. Without the Emulators, I wouldn't have even 6 hours logged in gameplay. New ones CANNOT be used with emulators... only version 1.5 or less.

That's my main worry......buying it only for it's screen and visuals...........then having it gathering dust. I wanna have fun with it. And i'm SURE there are gonna be some great games on it in the future......like FF and stuff.

How do you upgrade the PSP version? So they stopped the emulation with the later versions?

Also is the US PSP made in China or Japan?

And I think I'm gonna have to buy a huge Memory Stick for it.......like 1gb

Ok well I've had an indepth look at the reviews from the PSP from IGN and Gamespot, and there isn't much atm that can persuade me to purchase the PSP from a gaming perspective.

I'm nearing my decision not to purchase one...........especially when comparing to the Nintendo DS games, such as Advance Wars DS, Nintendogs and Meteos.

I'm so confused >_<'

I want a PSP, and I don't know why. I think it's the screen.........it's so pretty

I know but I can't fight the feeling..............

$400 is a lot of money...........but I think I may give in and purchase one.

Probably because it does so much..............I like that idea......it's a whore of a portable
