Thread: Advice on PSP?

the psp by itself, is one great piece of engineering.

the problem is the lack of AAA titles, and titles which utilise its features and portability to its full potential. metal gear portable ops was one of those games that contradictated tho (wi fi searching for soliders = fun). however, when i first heard of the psp, i was waiting for all the great rpg goodness i could have with it. 3 + years later and still no uber rpgs with most being ports of old ps1 games. final fantasy crisis core tho may change that

dont get me wrong. i have a psp and love what i personally can do with it
(homebrew, remote play for movies and music, custom firmwares, select games (oooh god of war = sexy) )

so ask yourself. are you just going to buy a psp purely for gaming? is there a title thats a must have for you? if you answered yes for the former and no the latter, then the psp isn't the system for you. you're better off getting a ds.

now excuse me while i remote play my pRon...

oh p.s

but the actual psp games did not impress me much at all.

so its worth tracking down an old one though with 1.5 firmware if u like that sorta stuff

You can downgrade any psp using the kick battery method now, all you need is some skill.

mepm is shit outta luck then..:p

Want to get a psp soon, so I went to jb hifi today and had a look, and they have a couple different packs.

They have the normal psp slim with nothing extra for $274, then they have the game coloured psps that included the game(the simpsons) for $299 and they also have the psp slim with media manager and 4gb card for $344.

I should be able to get better prices with haggling, but which pack should I get? What about colours? Black or white?

version 3.80 m33-5 hacked firmware + game on memory stick? win.
features are awsome, i liked playing my ps1 games of my ps3 while on the can, watching tv, playing games online, etc.

games.... patapon, god of war, locoroco, ridge racer 2, tekken 5.5, castlevania... all good only bitch about psp is the size of it, it isnt really good to lug one around just for music, but its a good time waster....

oh the mod is a bitch too


u dont need to track one with 1.5 version anymore, all youll need is to grab urself a new one and do a pandora's battery "battery hack" on your psp, dont worry if you brick it either, u can unbrick it with the battery hack happy huntings.

get white, its hot, when i first got my white psp (first in nsw) it was $450 bucks =/

Poonda FYI, Game also have a bundle of the console + 2 platinum games for $299.

Thanks K_space. Yesterday I bought the media manager pack with the 4gb card, for $344, and its cool. I copied a few songs on it and they played fine. The remote play is trippy as.
I was listening to my mp3s from the ps3 on the psp.

Play tv come on down.

What's in the MM pack that's not in the basic one, apart from the 4Gb card?

The media manager software, allows you to re-encode movies and transfer songs easily for your psp.
