Who's seen the PSP up close and personal yet?

Post by benheck » Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:03 pm

I'm actually NOT planning to get one (hard to believe as that may be) but I am still quite curious about it. (since we all know how I feel about Nintendo and specifically the Gameboy(s))

So, how is it?

I played one a few weeks ago. It seems to be too fragile, but the screen is bright and crisp :)

Someone just figure out how we can rip the screen outta the thing and we'll have an even better screen for portables. Other than that, and future emulation (Which is virtually guaranteed because of the memory stick) I could care less about the PSP.

The PSP is a decently small piece of hardware. Its very slim and sleek. The nifty sleek style that is Sony is shown in almost every aspect of this portable device. Ben, what all do you want to know about it?
When in Japan with access to just about every system ever made and those that have yet to see international soil, gather your forces, and make the cool ones your own.

Bright screen? That big? Hmmm....how long do the batteries last, and will Bens PSP LED mod work with it?

the guys at lik-sang have :P.....but I don't think we'll be able to salvage the screen as first of all, the screen's probably digital, and second of all, who's gonna waste $250 for a screen that size when you probably can't even use it?!?!?!?
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
