Did you get the picture in exactly the same format we're seeing it in now? Is this person able to get ahold of a bigger scan?Originally Posted by dethink
That'd be awesome.

That'd be awesome.
he's saying it looks iffy too...i'll see what i can get.
They're still gonna have to give me a shitload of good games I'll want to play.. Until then, I still don't give a crap. It could look all pretty and be made of gold, but until I want to play the games, I can't justify even paying $199. "Death Jr." isn't a game I want to play. "GT4 Portable" isn't a game I want to play.
Meh.
I actually hope the prices and bundles are close to this. It would make sence for Sony to offer some different bundles at different prices, to help offset the high prices we know the hardware is going to go at and give consumers options on what to buy. I doubt this is real, but let's hope that it will be close to this. And yes, if the PSP CAN launch for $200, it's REALLY going to give Nintendo a challenge. Since the DS is going for $150 itself.

Dear Sony,
I do not need an MP3 player, nor a "mini" DVD player. I have a camera already, as well. Please find something innovative to do with your gaming device.

Although I still believe that the PSP will retail at $199, the article does have many glitches as mentioned above.
Let us start with the first sentence:
"After Playstation Portable blew away E3 this year we were left with many unanswered questions, mostly concerning PSP's battery life and it's price, which were conveniantly forgotten at E3.
This is an awful sentence. There should be a "the" in front of Playstation Portable and PSP. There should be a comma after "year". "Conveniantly" should be spelled "Conveniently". "Playstation" should be "PlayStation".
The rest of the article is just as atrocious. They keep referring to memory incorrectly. For instance, they say "64mb" when they should refer to it as 64 MB. In the third paragraph, they stuck in a very unnecessary "of course" that ruins the entire flow of the first sentence. In the fourth paragraph, they don't put a space between "memorystick".
I would say this is completely fake.
<Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them
Re: supposed PSP launch package pricing... BOO YAH!
so are they the sony only(magicgate) memorycard ???
i'll think about it .................no !!
i'll hold out until first price drop or maybe boxingday(wake up 5am to wait at bestbuy to pick up some door crashers haha)
Some folks write 64MB. It's almost always capitalized, but whether you lump that right after the amount seems to almost be a matter of personal choice. Then there's 512kb...that's valid, too.
In fact, if you look at an actual Sony Memory Stick, you'll see it's written all together - just like this: 256MB.
I'd agree on the grammar bits, though.
Waitaminute.. Digital Camera? Do they mean an attachment? To make it a DC? How many Mega Pixels.
And waitaminute.. GPS? Doesn't that require a service fee? How much is a subscription to GPS anyway? Actually, that's tempting. I get lost all the time.. That feature might make me buy it... unless there's a GPS unit for the GBA or DS.. then I'll pass.
As I said, it'll take a bunch of good GAMES to make me want to buy it.. oh, and a lower price. The only two expensive things getting my money this holiday are a DS and the PSTwo.

Here you go guys, it is going to have memory sticks packaged with it. Price isn't that bad either. Only $40 off from the DS. Nintendo better watch their ass on this one. It could be trouble for their monopoly.
Cool people I have bought stuff from on this board: orrimarrko kyosuke75 dave2236 video_game_addict cloudstrife29661 NESCollector75
GPS is subscription free - but I don't know why an handheld should have this feature...

I dunno yet on this one 4-6 hours battery life still ain't too hot..
[edit: shorter linkage]
Not too shabby.
Battery pack a la Nomad I wonder? Smaller than Nomads likely, but looks external...

Add me to the undersigned. I have a 30 gig mp3 player, 4 DVD players, and a 3.2 megapixel digital camera. Why the hell would I need another one? Just give me something that plays games!!!
The current list of games for the PSP looks awful when compared to the games aleady announced for the DS. I'll choose quality/catalog of games over quality of graphics any day...

One question I still dont have an awnser too, does the PSP have online play through routers just like the DS? Anyone care to explain. Also, has it been announced whethere the PSP will have a region lock?
So far I think that Sony has a good idea doing it with the three package deal.
This thing looks VERY appealing. I want one!
Region lock for PSP will be similar to the Xbox. It's there, but up to publishers to implement and use it if they want to.
Of course if publishers follow how they've gone with the Xbox, then most/all PSP games will be region locked (only a few Xbox games are region free).
Guess we'll have to wait and see. Least the DS is region free. Just have to see if different region games communicate okay that's all.
The listed games for the DS look awful compaired to the ones on PSP. The DS has no good launch games that I saw at Gamestop. a port of mario 64, some sports games, rayman, and the sims. im annoyed that wipeout pure isnt a PSP launch game though. I wanna play it!

I'd like more battery life, but 4-6 is acceptable (especially if the recharge time isn't bad).
Price is competitive.
Still wonder what happens if you drop one :P
It should come down to the games then. In that regard, I'm still leaning towards DS for Feel the Magic and later Wario Ware. I know I 'fanboi'ed out when the PSP was revealed, but i think the PSP has an excellent chance of capturing a large share of the portable market at the very least.
Note to Sony: a new ICO or Silent Hill game for PSP would be nice. I already own Ridge Racer V...
Should be interesting to watch the horse race...
