For those interested:
US launch Date is March 25th. Should really be announcing Europe any day now. -
I’m not very impressed with the UMD movie thing, I mean are any companies(apart from Sony Pictures of course!) going to actually bother to release their movies on UMD? Even if they do, is anyone actually going to buy them??
People aren’t going to buy a movie on DVD(which a lot of people do these days) and also buy it on UMD so they can watch it on their PSP.Will probably buy one after the price has come down and after seeing the games.
-
Thats all your not impressed with ???
-
Well I’m not impressed with the price, the look or the games either, but didn’t want to cause an argument…. :cool:

Now you know there’s no fun in that.

True, but sometime you just gotta take one for the team….. :D

Have you held a PSP yet Nooptical?
Have you played any of the games yet Nooptical?Just wondering.
-
Guys, do we have ourselves a fanboy here?!?
-
Just curious Steph,Nooptical sounds like he knows a small bit about the PSP. I thought he might own one and played some of the games.
Also Steph is it a bit clicky around these parts? -
Nah – just getting you going a bit! ;)
We’re a good crew round these parts, and you’ll find the dialogues & banter more on the informed/educated/mature side than the “PSP sucks/my DS kicks its ass” side of things…
…though my DS does indeed kick SonEa’s ass any day :D

On the “street” I presume…. :p

[/quote:af2e8fe712]No, and No. I’m basing my opinion on the price, well, on the price. And the looks, on how it looks. ;) I just don’t like its design. Maybe it is comfortable to hold, will wait and see.
My opinion on the games is based on previews/reviews etc. Ridge Racer looks good, but nothing else really interests me…..
-
I’m looking forward to Wipeout Pure on PSP
-
zoltar…
Answer to both of your questions is yes and I’m unimpressed.
I could add a lot more things to be unimpressed with; flying disks, unresponsive square button, dodgy key and stick positioning….many more. -
unresponsive square button[/quote:d5b08aca4f]
I can’t believe you don’t like this. Its one of PSP’s best “features”….
-

Hahahaha…I think its greatest feature though is you get the impression that dropping it will caause it to smash into several pieces. I must admit I haven’t tested that one out though because I don’t own one and they’re a little expensive.
-
I’m not a huge fan of the DS design either, but at least its clam-shell. I much prefer clam-shell to the PSP design or GBA design.
-
“flying disks, unresponsive square button, dodgy key and stick positioning”
OmenI’ve been using a number of different PSP for the last 4 months and I have had none of the above problems.

Clickiness threshold, initially lowered for welcoming purposes, is being concurrently reassessed…

[/quote:4c22da9006]
lmao.
In my opinion the design of the PSP is faultless, if you consider its aimed at a mass-market audiance, if you look at the machine from an aesthetic point of view then maybe some cracks begin to appear in the design as Nooptical has noted, personally I think it is much better conceived than Nintendo’s DS.
Oh and I heard the date on either http://www.gamesradar.co.uk or in Edge, or again on http://www.the-magicbox.com.

Why’s that?

Stephs last post confused me…….but having re-read it I understand it now……
-
Before this debate goes any further, can we just clear up a semantic issue that’s getting on my nerves:
1. Click: A brief, sharp sound.
2. Clique: a small exclusive group of friends or associates.
Ahthankyew.

Quick, someone call Dr Phil… Imeediatly!

I just think the PSP is a nice piece of kit as I have been using it for awhile know and I just thought I would share this with you
SENIOR MEMBERS. -
1) Newbie (1 post when asking “have you done this/that Nooptical?”)
2) baiting regulars for PSP bad-mouthing (well, at least faults-outlining/debate)
3) then evangelising (of sorts) PSPIf it looks like one, sounds like one, smells like one… catch my drift?;)
Not that it wouldn’t be fun poking fun at Messengers of the Sonea faith, mind… But I believe such debates lead nowhere and are therefore best avoided: which is better, PSP or DS? Is one better for games, the other for price, one better for innovation, the other for looks, etc, etc?
Who TF cares? Like PS2/Xbox/GC before, this will probably turn into a ‘better to have both’ situation. PSP for the big franchises and better graphics (GTA, GT4…), DS for quirky multiplayer titles (Mario Kart DS and others). Such that direct comparison on any point (tech/design/price/ergonomics) is, IMHO, pointless.
-
Senior Citizen Members you mean……

Everyone always shuns me if I consider proclaiming that the PsP is sexier than the DS… (T_T)

I’m always asked that question……. :D

The PSP is a beautiful object, zoltar.
But consumer-appealing aesthetics should not be allowed to overshadow ergonomic design faults. Great looks is absolutely not synonymous with great gameplay, if one accepts that user control is one of the tennets of gameplay, and that goes not only for graphics but also hardware…
-
Awww Steph…..stop turing this into a legitimate discussion….. :(
-
Lads,
please don’t say anything to annoy Zoltar, as I’ve just noticed he is described, under his ‘profile’ biography, as ‘Decent Bloke’.
Made me laugh out loud.
Nice one, Zoltar!
-
It’s the hot & cold shower treatment :D

Indeed, I have yet to get my ‘mits’ on a PsP so wheter or not the aesthetics compliment the ergonomics is yet to be seen, all in all I like the PsP for the design, shoot me for doing so if you feel the will too.
Note: please use 9mm rounds, I hate bows and arrows, they always get stuck in my teeth.
-
I was thinking of using a blunt spoon myself…..
-
As opposed to what? a deadly crafted razor sharp spoon, sporting Samurai leather crafted buckles?

Rather nasty post there…. *sniff* *sniff*

*puff* *pany* I can’t keep up with this posting milarcky!!!
someone shoot me now………………………
-
And how, pray tell, do you suggest I “shoot” a spoon?
-
Thissssss….
…..is the sound of inevitability, Mr Omega’s Dust.Thissssss….
…..is the distinct clacking sound of a pump mechanism loading a 12-bore Brenneke cartridge into the breech of my shotgun. -

How obvious…

*clink* *clank* *clinkitty* *clank*
That is the sound of the blunt spoon rattling off the change in my pocket…….
-
Sounded more like the sound of it clanging down the tube of a mortar to me…

no no no, this is the sounds of it clanging down the tube of a mortor:

Not so obvious for Nooptical, do excuse me.
Can’t do CS just yet, still at work, then moving on to the boozer (O’Brien’s, Upper or Lower Leeson St, one of the two – just been refurb’d) in not very long at all :D
But those should be available in CS, I do agree. A 12-bore bullet (which is what a Brenneke is) is rather terminal, might I add, both for the target when hit and for the shooter’s shoulder.

I don’t like the PSP. Then again, I don’t like the PS2 either, maybe I have a dislike for Sony products :eek:

I also don’t agree thats its a sexy design. Technically it isn’t what Sony have said it is either.By the way guys, baiting newbies is really annoying. Chances are he’ll not post again because you pissed him off, just because he had an opinion. Not exactly the kind of atmosphere that we should have on a forum that is trying to attract as many people as possible due to the lack of games educated people in Ireland. If you’re reading this zoltan, ignore them.

yeah zoltar, come back, you’re not so ugly after all, all is forgiven…

Hang on one tootin’ minute!!!

Do you work for Sony??
4 months ago is October. Were dev kits even out then?? If not Sony, must be someone like EA.
Do tell… -
Yep work for Sony over here in London. From Ireland but been in England for the last three years.
