I planned on buying it, but then I wikipedia'ed and noticed that they're releasing the PSP Go in October in the United States shortly.
So my questions to you guys, for PSP users:
1) Why did you pick PSP over DS (any DS versions)?
2 screens? Ew, do not want. Crisis Core/LocoRoco/Patapon and some other games made me buy it instead of a DS.
2) Can the PSP hold music, as in, can you listen to music on your PSP?
Yes.
3) Do you download music with a fee? Or can you just transfer MP3 music files directly from your computer?
You can transfer them. When you access the PSP from your PC it's like a pendrive.
4) What's the memory and all that on a PSP? This way, I can know how much music I can put into a PSP.
The PSP uses Sony Memory Sticks Duo/Pro Duo. They go up to 16 GB iirc.
5) Does it save games by memory, or do I have to get one of those memory sticks or whatever?
They come in UMDs and .iso/.cso files. The .cso/.iso are saved to your memory.
6) Can I download PS1 or PS2 games as well?
Some games have been ported. Some other games can be played if you softmod it (PS1 games).
7) What about battery functionality? How long does it last when fully charged?
The phat PSP (100x models) lasted about 5-8 hours depending on use. Dunno about slim ones.
8) When buying a PSP, what does it come with? Is it a USB drive, headphones, a game, or what?
The value pack I got had a usb cable, headphones with remote control, a 32MB MS Pro Duo (ew), and PES 2007.
If anyone could answer as much as possible (I'd prefer indepth), I'd be grateful, thanks!
PS: Yes, I know I made a Zune vs iPod thread before, but that's how I collect info. x) I'm getting a Zune 'if' the PSP can't hold too much music.
Also planning on getting Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 1 and Tales of Eternia as SOON as I get my PSP!
All in all, the PSP is great. It's A LOT BETTER softmodded. It's up to you. 3000 models can't be softmodded really well as of now. So if you plan on softmodding it (which it's illegal yes), you're better off buying an older model instead. You know, the Custom firmware can run:
- SNES emus.
- Nes emus.
- PS1 emus.
- Megadrive emus.
- GB/GBA emus.
- Homebrew applications.
