PSP: Are you getting one?

Now that the new year is upon us, how many are you are looking forward to the PSP? Eb Games is now taking deposits and I put mine down. Can't wait for it.

I do not think so.

This and the Nintendo DS are still a bit pricey for me to have just to play games on the go.

I love my GBA GBA SP and my GB Color for all my on the go gaming needs and these suit me just fine.

I'm unsold on the PSP. Sure, it'll have PS2 quality graphics, but none of the titles I've seen so far offer much new in gameplay. Plus I've seen the projectile disk ejection *grin*

in all seriousness.. Sony products scream "SEXY!!!"..but I havent seen any system sellers so far.. Though i did read in EGM it's supposed to be under $200 USD, so that's better than the initial projection of $400 USD.

Actually, I don't think the graphics are on par with the PS2, for example, take a look at MGS: Acid and MGS 3.

As for me, I have no interest in handhelds. I have had a Game Gear and a Gameboy advance and never really put any of them to use. If I were to choose though, I would get a DS over a PSP, but I'd rather stick to my console and PC.

I'm skeptical about the psp...although it looks sweet..and is featurefull...all I really want out of my handheld is games. I have my ipod for my music (and does it way better) and I don't see any need for low resolution video playing. I just want a handheld that can play good games for a decent amount of play time (6-8 hours). Sony has yet to convince me. I think I'll be keeping my sp around for awhile :P

yes i am getting one. They will be $200USD since the ones in japan sell for the equivelant of 200USD. They look amazing and sorry but iPods are kinda shitty, I want a music player i can actually exercise or do anything physical with, not a harddrive mp3 player that will skip if moved. Hi-HD minidisc players are way better.

Right now the only thing about the PSP enticing me right now is the beautiful screen. At the same time I'm worried about the screen. I've read several reports and even seen pictures of the screen getting scratched easily. Other than that I'm going to wait about a year or two before some decent games come out for it. Why do Sony systems always have shitty launch games?

anyway back to the psp....
I got really concerned while reading this article http://www.gearlive.com/index.php/ne...out_sonys_psp/

Quote:
2) The battery time issue is fixable. Everyone was worried about what kind of battery time we would be looking at with such a powerful system. Well as of now, you can expect even the most intensive games to last well beyond 3 hours of play time, while other less graphically intense games can reach up to 6 hours. Better yet, the system can be charged while you play it, and there will also be swappable batteries available if you find your game time will stretch well past 4 hours in one sitting. As an aside, mp3 playback will be in the realm of 9-10 hours, in large part because you can turn off the screen when the unit is tucked in your pocket. Charging will take about 2 hours from a completely drained battery. You can also play the PSP while charging the battery at the same time. There’s more hope too. Sony has already stated that higher capacity batteries are in the works.
3 hours for intense games?.....It seems almost like a joke....and almost like Sony is trying to get you to buy a second battery...even 6 hours isn't that impressive for a handheld. I would call this a big issue

Well I guess my enthusiasm(sp?) for it is because I did see one first hand at E3. I'd like to have something I can have to kill 1-2 hrs while I wait for the wife at the store or visit boring in-laws
As far as the battery issue I hope it gets resolved before US launch. Either way I'll still get it.
Anyone have any links to this ejection/projectile thingy?

I'm a little upset abut Metal Gear Acid. I was expecting more MGS play, but I read a preview that said it was a card strategy game. I'm really put off by that. It seems there are alot of racing games for the psp, but I'm not sure what else it has to offer.

well, I broke down and grabbed one today, and I'm in geek heaven at the moment.
Honestly, I got it for the multimedia features first, gaming second. That said, picked up Minna no Golf Portable and Ridge Racers and they are both pretty damn sweet. The screen has to be seen to be believed.
Right now I'm putting some music videos on the memory card. Yes, some hoops have to be jumped to get video on it, but nothing too stressful. Video looks fine by me, and now I'll have something to do on the subway.
Worth the money?
Definately.
Those of you stressing out about the battery life shouldn't worry too much. It will get you through a decent length flight/bus ride and is gold for short trips.
Absolutely a beautiful piece of hardware...

Right now, I would have to say no. I just want a great video game player, not any of the other multi-media stuff, and as it stand the PSP has a very weak launch selection. Also, the battery life is a big problem for me. 3 hours simply does not cut it these days. Whats the point of having a portable system if I'm stuck to an outlet all the time?

It sucks that you have to convert all your video to mpeg4 to play on the PSP. What a hassle.

Yeah, it's a pain, but converting also cuts down on the file size, which is good. MemoryStick Duo's ain't cheap!
(should have splurged on the 512meg, only got the 256....more is better!)

I've never owned a hand-held. I was always just more interested in consoles for my gaming, but I think I'll have to get one of these whenever I have the cash. The fact that it has an mp3 player is a strong selling point for me, as I've also never had an mp3 player outside of the stereo in my car.

Plus it's only $200? Not a bad deal at all, I think.

I was going to get an ipod, but i think i'll spring for one of these instead. Banana, what is the file size like for game saves? I'll definetly be getting a 512 mem stick, but I'm just curious as to how much music can be saved on one of these things if its for gaming too.

I don't care about videos. I'll have my laptop for that. But music is a big issue. My Net MD is on its last leg, and I am a Sony whore, so this seems to be the best choice for me.

save game files seem to be pretty small. I have a few golf files on there and they're pretty small. Seeing how PS2 cards are only 8megs a 512MB card should go a long long way.

I would like to get a PSP, but I would wait for a while. Sony's gaming hardware often seems to be pretty crappy in it's first few generations. I know of many of the earlier models of psx/ps2 that have just gone down the crapper. Even my ps2 (which i believe is like the 4th generation) is starting to lose some read time, although, it probably just needs a good cleaning.

fun though! No cords is a good way to do things.

I'm really really tempted to get a PSP at launch (I work at a GameStop, so I also get 15% off ) but my better judgement says to hold off a month or two to see if there are any bugs or whatnot.

Thing one here is that I'm not a hardcore gamer (console, PC, handheld, or otherwise). I'd like to get the PSP for its "gadget" capabilities, with regards to its multimedia capabilities, WiFi connectivity, and other assorted cool stuffs that makes a geek drool.

I actually have one myself, and Ridge Racer plays and looks really good. The battery time isn't long, I must admit, but it's still good none the less. I still haven't gotten around to playing music, or any other medias. And like someone mentioned, the screen will probably get damaged easily. That is why I keep mine in the little case that came with the value pack whenever the PSP is not in use.

It was a bit heavier then I imagined, and it also seemed a bit flimsy...that screen was beautiful, but i just started to imagine what would happen to it after a few trips (the way I handle my portables at least..) made me shiver a bit. as I said before I will still with my gameboy sp...never has failed me, and has some awesome games.. (ff:tactics, golden sun, etc.)

note: this is just a me personal problem with it, not a everyon problem...but if the psp truely is on the flimsey side, it's could be in a bit of trouble.

I think that the system looks solid. But, I would never purchase the PSP. The only reason is because I feel that hand held systems are a little too sophomoric for me. I just feel there is a time in a person’s life when they start to outgrow video game playing. If this system came out when I was a little younger then I would be first inline.

Don’t get me wrong, I love video games on consul systems. But, playing them in public (hence the purpose of a portable system) is something I no longer will do.

Hey, no one is making you buy the UMD movies. If/when I get a PSP, I'm picking up a large capacity Memory Stick and putting the movies I'd wanna watch on there.

Meh, I'd use it as an MP3 player more than anything else, I think.
