Just picked up a PSP and WOW ... It's crazy .. I have ????
 

My son's B-day is coming up and he's wanted one for some time now ... so we picked one up today .. This thing is way cooler then i thought .. the graphics are sick and I didn't realize it has a web browser .. I think I may get one for myself or this kid is sharing ..:1orglaugh

I still have to pick up a Memory card .. I have 2 - 512's sitting around from my Camera .. is that enough or should i just go get a 2 or 4 gig? I want to put a good amount of Music and Movies on it but I'm not sure how big a DVD Converts to and the best software to use .. I know I saw a converter in Vegas 6 .. is it worth buying the gameshark software?

any feedback is welcome ..:thumbsup

PSP is great, glad you like it. You should try playing wireless poker with some buddies

Most 2 hour movies can be compressed down to about 300 MB. For me, a 1 gig card is enough to get me through long flight.

T.V. shows rock on the PSP.

Here is the (free) software to convert video and copy it to your psp:

Hope that helps out Mike!

very cool ... thanks I guess I'll grab a 1gig card .. that with the two 512's should be plenty ..:thumbsup

So you opened it up and played it before giving it to him? haha

i'll wait for the new apple video device

You'll also want a stand, Mike.

It's nice to be able to flip down the tray table, stand the psp up, and kick back.

Logitech makes a nice hard case that flips to hold the psp up.

Honestly, get yourself a 2gig card.

If you can get the chance, downgrade the PSP to the FW 1.50 - allows you to play homebrew games and software - and there is some really cool stuyff out there - IE programs to stream TV onto your PSP, stream radio onto the psp - use the psp as a remote control - GBA, SuperNES, N64, Sega and NeoGeo emulators.. the whole deal - and also the ability to play ISOs of games, if you stand on that side of the fence.

THe graphics is great, but I hate the controls, so its pretty much useless for me. :(

i have had mine for abouta year.. i love it.. gets me through those long flights... my only issue is that they just dont have enough games yet..

See my above post ;)

Yeah .. i have to get a nice case like that .. we picked up a hard suitcase type box that holds all the wires and and a case for the games ..but i want something smaller ... I saw a clear plastic type shell case that may help .. i want to protect it a bit ..my sons only 9 and I'm sure he'll drop it or something.

PSP is pretty cool toy :)
Although I don't use it a lot...it's collecting dust somewhere in my room...:)

I post to GFY from a PSP in bed sometimes. Hehe.

I get some hits to my sites from people using them and have been contemplating buying one so I can check it out and maybe customize some pages for it.

I'm thinking of picking one up, but the Nintendo DS lite looks pretty good too...

yeah .. he wants one of those also .. I'm thinking Christmas ... They are pretty cool also .. and he has tons of gameboy games from all the old systems

get a 4 gig stick.. the more space the better.

I agree .. I mean he can carry multiple cards with him but why not just make it one ...

ive had a PSP for quite some time now, the best game is Wipeout by far

also, the browser really isnt that great

and everything takes forever to load on the PSP :(

I love my PSP. I hardly play games on it, though. The only games I've got are two compilations of arcade classics. So I've got old games like Mortal Kombat 1/2/3, the original Street Fighter, Final Fight, Paperboy, Gauntlet and a lot more. Those are the only games I really have the time to play, anyways.

I use it mostly for watching videos and surfing (checking email, stats, news, etc). I've got a one gig card, but that's more than sufficient. I've got a hard drive full of converted video, so I just load new videos when I'm done with the old.

Like RobbieRye suggested, use PSP Video 9 to convert video. It's a great program and completely free. Depending on the bit rate you convert at, a 90 minute movie will take up about 300-400 MB.

I did get one myself. Graphics are great but the games fucking suck.

The only one I enjoy is the GTA.

Looking forward for Mortal Kombat.

I bought it for my son who is 9 .. he be able to get enough games for now and he really likes to be able to bring movies with him. I'm going to pick up the Nintendo Ds also .. I Just didn't want to spoil the little guy .. he'll have to wait for X-mas for that one .. that's loaded with games ..:thumbsup
