Playstation Portable questions...

Ok, I am turning into a knowledge whore when it comes to the Playstation Portable. I haven't had much time to research, just have a few gamers and computer magazines that have articles on it. But I was wondering if anyone had any reliable information on like A) The EXACT release date? I have talked to a few people, including reps from different retail locations and they just say 'march sometime, maybe, we think.' I NEED TO KNOW! i wanna know when the exact release date is, if there has been one released.

And also, will you be able to save PSX games to memory cards and play them on the PSP? I know that you can save videos onto memory cards and play them on the PSP but I wanna know if I'm gonna be able to play my Vagrant Story and Final fantasies on it! =) Muchos gracias for the information!

I once ran down a hill, fell down and hurt my elbow; my mom said I would be ok, she kissed it and made it all better. I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!

zxello... I can't get an exact date either. But late March is what I'm hearing. Not the mid-month date that was floating around. Plus I can't get a fixed price on it either. "They" say- $200-250. I dunno. I'm guessing at least $300 with the system and a memory card. Best I can do...maybe someone here is more connected.

Sony hasn't said anything more specific than late March. Sites have dates, but they're all just guesses. Price range, Sony said under 200 dollars... which likely means 199.99, but who knows? And as for PSOne games, no dice. Just gotta play whatever they release. I wouldn't rule out remakes of PSOne games for the PSP, but you're gonna have to pay.

Like default said, there isn't any support for PS games on PSP (besides remakes onto UMD format, of course.) However, I wouldn't rule out the possibilty of emulators being made to work on the PSP. As we speak, there is a group of people trying to get a simple Linux running on Nintendo DS, so you never know what will happen

Please read the below article on the US release for the PSP...i just sold my japanese PSP. i had it for all of four hours. i am glad i did b/c the US version will come packed w/ a lot of stuff.

Article was copied from - http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/02/03/news_6117815.html

PSP launching March 24

Single-SKU $249 "Value Pack" to include 32MB Memory Stick Duo; 24 games confirmed for launch, including Need for Speed Rivals, Metal Gear Acid, and Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix.
After months of saying the PSP will "probably" launch in March, Sony Computer Entertainment America has finally set the launch date for its entry into the handheld wars. This morning, the electronics giant announced that its eagerly awaited handheld game system will go on sale in North America on March 24.



While the PSP's ship date fell inside previously announced release parameters, its price was higher than expected. Sony will only sell the PSP as part of a single-SKU "Value Pack" for $249 in the US, CDN$299 in Canada. The new price point is $50 higher than the $199 many industry analysts predicted; that was based on the PSP's Japanese MSRP of 19,800 yen (approximately $185).

Besides the PSP unit itself, the Value Pack will include a 32MB Memory Stick Duo (which usually retails from $24.99 to $39.99 solo), headphones with remote control, a battery pack, AC adapter, soft case and cleaning cloth, and a UMD disc with game-demo movies, and a music and video sampler. As an incentive for early adopters, Sony will include a free UMD copy of the blockbuster superhero film Spider-Man 2 with the first one million PSP Value Packs shipped.

More importantly for gamers, Sony today confirmed the launch-title lineup for the PSP, all of which will go on sale during the PSP's unspecified "launch window." "The high profile lineup includes a wide range of products that will appeal to every type of gamer--from the sports fan to the action enthusiast," said SCEA executive vice president Andrew House. While many games were previously announced, some were only confirmed as launch titles today--a full list is below:

Ape Escape: On the Loose, Sony Computer Entertainment America
ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails, SCEA
Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower, Capcom
Dynasty Warriors, Koei
FIFA 2005, Electronic Arts
Gretzky NHL, SCEA
Lumines, Ubisoft
Metal Gear Acid, Konami
MLB, SCEA
MVP Baseball, EA
NBA, SCEA
NBA Street Showdown, EA
Need for Speed Rivals, EA
NFL Street 2 Unleashed, EA
Rengoku: Tower of Purgatory, Konami
Ridge Racer, Namco
Smartbomb, Eidos Interactive
Spider-Man 2, Activision
Tiger Woods PGA Tour, EA
Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix, Activision
Twisted Metal: Head-On, SCEA
Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade, Sony Online Entertainment
Wipeout Pure, SCEA
World Tour Soccer, SCEA

Also of note was SCEA's revelation that some PSP games would sell for as little as $39.99, some $10 lower than the standard $49.99 price most retailers list PSP games for. However, the announcement did not specify which games would carry the lower price.

I'm sure that depends on where you live. I preordered mine about a week and a half ago, and made the first shipment. Though they said if I dont get there that day, I may have to wait. I had to request the day off just to make sure I do get there before they're all sold out.
