Sony PSP

The spiderman game looks good....
but dunno if the PSP battery can last or not?

tried ridge racer on the PSP... very cool, very smooth, very addictive. graphics is powerz siah... :thumbsup:

 

[Wolfgang]

Well, look at it this way. It can be used it as a Digital Portfolio, A Movie Player on the go, an MP3 player, as well as a gaming machine. (But you would need a 1gig MS duo pro to fit everything in... )

Imagine, Ridge Racer on wi fi multiplayer... in one word, sweet.

Blade of Brothers which is similar to Diablo as a hack & slash RPG is quite fun but it gets boring when playing alone. The fun part is when you get friends to link up with you on wi fi and go dungeon exploring together.

Twisted Metal basically means you get to cause mayhem & destruction all over the place against your friends.. great way to relieve stress.

Sound cheap but Japan sets are still cheaper in Japan.....JPY20,000 with basic kit...

JPY20,000 = SGD312.00

Got a friend buying it from Japan this week. It's the same package as the one on sale here, the casing etc etc. It's ard $380 only... so mark-up here is pretty high.

Yeah, i agree.

What you are getting is the value pack. It's well worth it.

Anyway, Wolfgang, I think you know him too, it's Lionel.
It's quite strange lah, I think they mark-up a bit too much for the launch already. Cos I've check, even if I ordered online on Yodobashi and get them to send it here via v-post, the price in Singapore will still be $10-20 more.
Only drawback I heard is that Japan sets can only play their own region's UMDs.

Only in terms of movies but game wise, it's not an issue.

Enjoy your PSP when you get it. Maybe we can all meet for a PSP gamiong session.

Singapore sets are set to Region 2, same as Japan.

Also, Sony Singapore is only going to bring in Japanese versions of the games, but this is not a total non-issue as games are not region-locked (only UMD movies which, to me anyway, is not really a big deal as I don't see myself watching a movie on the small screen).

So far, I have accumulated 4 games for my PSP (Jap set)
1) Ridge Racer (Jap)
2) Need for Speed Underground Rivals (US)
3) Wipeout Pure (US)
4) Tiger Woods PGA Tour (US) - currently concentrating on this game.

And the big news this week is that my favorite Xbox game (Burnout) is coming to PSP later this year ... woooo hooo ... and of course, also looking forward to GT4.

1GB MS Duo can pop in the most 40min of video nia.

No need to ask someone.....

Remember PS2 has came out with a HDD too.....I have one 40GB PS2 HDD i bought from Japan.

So either they will come out a 2GB, 4GB or 8GB MS Duo or leave it as it is.

PSP = Portable Play Station (PORTABLE!!!!)

Why want to lug around a 60GB HDD?

Hmm... My iPod's got a 20GB HDD liao leh. :think:

2GB MS Duo Pro I believe is on the way liaoz. Hmm... 1GB MS Duo Pro costs like $260 methinks... Certainly sounds like what I'd paid for my 256MB MSPro 2yrs ago...

Not true. i managed to store all of my shots for my portfolio, store 5 eps of naruto and some MP3s...

All you need is this program named PSP Video 9. It converts your video files in to mpeg4 and helps you compress it to suit the screen size of the PSP. It's freeware too.

onnnnn!!!lets meet up..start w ridge rider

Haha.. i'm in.
