PSP Launch!

MuGen · 03-24-2005, 01:50 AM

Since my ebgames isn't doing the midnight thing, I will be at the Mall early morning waiting for opening as with a lot of guys who want to buy the PSP tomorrow. Schoolboys will have to wait until the end of the day or play hooky to pick this goody up early.

I expect a lot of feedback from this forum, getting our hands on the PSP for the first time in a long time!

not an impression of my own, but i finally took a look at one at the store that had one out on display. and its quite an impressive feeling device, probably the most comfortable handheld unit i've ever played. that was my major complain with ones like the GBC and original gb, i never liked holding them, hands were too close together.

I got a PSP with Ridge Racers and DarkStalkers...

I gotta say... that is one sexy handheld, with the uglyness of your fingerprints

I'm satisfied with what I got today...

MuGen · 03-24-2005, 11:27 AM

I got it mine at 10:01am when my ebgames opened. I'm very glad I got my PSP.

Games:
Darkstalkers
Ridge Racers
Wipeout pure

Still thinking if i want to get a PSP now, (have to order it soon before they run out)

or my graphics card now and a psp later.

im getting a bit over $600 on me tax return, and i want to get myself something big with that money...

but if i get the psp now, i'll be very dissapointed if it cant run emulators on it. (altho im pretty sure it will) biggest thing for me with the psp is the emulators, i hope to be able to play NES, SNES, Genesis, GB, GBA, MAME games on it.

*sits and ponders*

I'd wait a while to buy a PSP null. There aren't that many games for it anyway.

OMG I want one of these. So much more than I want a DS.

It's so hot. ANd darkstalkers looks freaking awesome.

MuGen · 03-24-2005, 02:20 PM

I LOVE MY PSP! I have some GT4 songs and FF7 songs on it already. Darkstalkers looks insane for it as well.

My smoke breaks @ work now consist of smoke and ravanging Morrigan w/ Demitri.

me and a friend went up to best buy few hours ago, and thoes psp's were selling like mad. so he decided to go ahead and get one.

honestly i love this thing. i WILL be getting one, just not sure when i'll pick it up. the screen is mad beautiful, even after seeing the videos i had no idea it would look THAT good. everything is so bright colorful and sharp. I was playin his wipeout game for a while.

i cant wait to see what some of the old games like punch out look like on that screen. cuz emulators can make the games look better then they did originally, and that psp screen has a pretty good resolution on it for its size.

The more I look at this the more I want it. This is the sexiest damn machine ever.

How much does it cost, though? The only thing I could find on the net were these big bundle deals that cost 400 dollars. I want to know the price of a PSP by itself.

You don't know how much it costs? tsk tsk...

It's only available in the value pack (not the bundles ebgames and gamestop force you to buy which come with bunches of crummy games), which comes with headphones, a case deal, 32mb memory stick, and a couple other things...

$250...

But I'm guessing after the launch craze they will release a non-bundle for saaay $200... But I dunno...

Gameinformer said they are launching "PSP Solo" near Christmas.

includes:
PSP
earbuds
charger
32mb memory stick duo
$175 msrp

EDIT: the real cost cutter was then soft gel carrying case and the Spider Man 2 movie. Case valued at $20.00 and the SM2 movie valued at $29.00

Vampyr · 03-25-2005, 11:36 AM

Christmas?!

That's insane. I want one for my birthday, but I don't want all that crap with it. I just want a PSP.

Oh well...time to start saving up I guess.
