So what's up with that? It's coming out at FutureShop on March 24th and I haven't seen many threads about it. It looks nice, is it good though? Whats the approx price?
It looks pretty fantastic to me - everything i've heard about it is positive - i hope it lives up to the hype. Pretty powerful piece of kit, from what i've seen...
'pparently the shoulder buttons feel a bit cheap, and the disc is liable to pop out once in a while.
There's also apparently some ghosting on some games, and a few have shipped with dead pixels.
Aside from that, it's apparently all good.
PSP is going to be the best thing to happen to protable gaming, even if the price is kinda high. You can get them on ebay now, but I am just gonna wait.
I heard some of the buttons are kinda fucked. They don't respond properly because of the size of the unit... the designers were forced to put the sensor slightly to the side of the button. There was some news article floating around about it several weeks ago.
Looks sweet. Just a real shame about the media format (I guess they had no option since you couldn't bolt a DVD reader onto the back of it)... I can't see people buying UMD versions of films to watch and nor can I see film companies bundling UMDs with their DVD released.
So that's films out of the window. Aside from that, the gaming should be great... N-Gage couldn't build up the grassroots support (at least, it never felt like they managed it) but Sony could well pull it off.
But it still has the memory cards to put movies on, and play them that way. Unfortuantly memory sticks aren't cheap. I wish the would make different slots for different cards
