I dunno... PSP will have a lot of great RPG's.. and that's what I like, compared to GCN and N64 games..

[Goto]

I'm going to see how things pan out. While I'm Nintendo to the core and look having all the Nintendo game series, I'm a little worried the DS will simply be a fad, I don't know if it'll be any good for actually playing games. So I guess I'll wait a while to see if I want to get one or not. Probably won't bother with a PSP, haven't been that impressed with whta I've seen.

[Raktor]

DS. Just because I've heard bad things about PSP.

[cjjones]

All I've heard about either is from these forums, and most of it is just dissing PSP coz you all love Gamecubes, which I haven't actually played ever before, but comparing PS1 to N64, I'd probably have to follow Sony with the PSP... (hehe, I've even got a Sony TV, although I didn't buy it, I'm pretty sure it was my grandfather's...)

seems rather good so far


features:
from some sony man

The device in the top right corner is the PSP Universal Media Disc (UMD), a DVD-like dual-layer medium offering 1.8GB of storage. UMD comes with DVD-style region coding and copy-protection mechanism based on the Advanced Encryption System (AES). Each disc has a unique ID number too.

Sony has already said that the PSP will be powered by a 90nm processor built from a MIPS 32-bit R4000 core. The chip will feature a SIMD vector processing engine along the lines of Intel's SSE 2 and PowerPC's AltiVec. It will feature 8MB of embedded memory clocked to 333MHz and operating at 1.2V. The memory bandwidth is quoted as 2.6GBps.

A second MIPS R4000 core will be used as the basis for the PSP's media engine, with 2MB of embedded DRAM, and again fabbed at 90nm.

Alongside these two chips will sit two dedicated graphics processors, one for high-level graphics manipulation, the other for the raw pixel shunting. This second core contains 2MB of embedded video memory operating across a 256-bit 5.3GBps bus. It can deliver a fill rate of 664 million pixels per second in 24-bit colour and churn out 33 million polygons per second with transform and lighting effects.

The PSP will feature Dolby 7.1 multi-channel audio, with 3D sound. It will support MP3, AAC and Sony's own ATRAC3 sound formats. It uses AVC (H.264) and MPEG4 for video. The machine's UMD media can hold up to two hours' of DVD-quality video or four hours 'standard' quality, whatever that is. Either way, movies are displayed on the unit's 4.5in 16:9 widescreen ratio 480 x 272-pixel LCD, seen here.

One of the key features of the PSP is 802.11b wireless networking for multi-player gaming. However, speaking at a news conference yesterday, Kutaragi said Sony will at some point add phone facilities, bringing the device even more into line with Nokia's console-cum-phone N-Gage.

Kutaragi also said that PSP will not be a single device, but a range of machines targeting different users. He also stressed that the handheld's design has yet to be finalised.

ive been a supporter of sony since ps1 came out i hope psp is really good

we'll just have to wait

[Phieta]

Sell your GBA and put the money from that towards your DS. Then buy a PSP.

[Sproogle]

PSP will have a lot of great RPG's

Sorry, that's DS territory. There are a number of RPG's in the works for it, one by Square, so it's gonna be good. The PSP just costs so much, and the wireless feature at a Wifi hotspot can go all over the world but costs nothing. The PSP will surely charge monthly fees. Besides, when have you ever just been walking down the street, and suddenly needed to chack your E-Mail? If you say you have, now ask yourself if doing that is worth $300+ dollars.

The PSP will feature Dolby 7.1 multi-channel audio, with 3D sound.

YOU DON'T NEED 3D SOUND IN A FREAKING HANDHELD!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[asyluman]

All you PSP lovers, still gonna be loving them when it turns out soemthing inside explodes after 20 hours of gameplay? SOny and its tech flaws will be this system's downfall.

[Sproogle]

Also factor in the fact that Nintendo has been doing this for years, and as asyluman said, it will be quite buggy. I'll buy one of the next 3 or 4 of the handhelds Sony will make if this dosen't bomb, cause then all the bugs will be out.
