to all PSP owners

I really need your helps guys to make up my mind, i want to buy a PSP, but i would like to know if it' s a good investment , what' s the futur is like, what can i do with my PSP , either legal or illegal i don' t care ... just give me your thoughts please thanks!

Please don' t make these forum into illegal talks,kikizo as a forum will have to shut down threads or ban users then.

Some small things are illgeal that shouldn' t be that i think we should be able to talk about.
I mean you have the right to copy a game but they put in like a crazy shit copy prot in every game so its alsmot impossible if you dont dl a extra copy

wtf?!

anyway,riiiiidge racceeeer 2 is on its way for PSP.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

If you buy a " new" PSP it' ll have more recent firmware that locks out the possibilities of using the cooler homebrew anyway.

If you' re a traveller like Majik, or want a gimmicky add-on for your PS3, then get
a PSP. It' s not really good if you get it for it' s conventional reasons and you' re
a home console player.

*Is really moved that Abasoufiane is seeing through Sony' s haze of bullsh1t*

That doesn' t mean that I won' t hesitate to...

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Quez you can talk about the possibilities and piracy or whatever, just don' t show how ok??

Magic, i' m gonna get a " new" PSP 1.5 that should do it i think

so far the game are mediocre with few exception, so tell me what are your most wanted games for PSP.

All my games came free with the PSP, that' s:

Virtua Tennis
WipeOut
MGS ACID (Turd)

The only one I bought was:

DarkStalkers

Which, with the D-pad on that thing makes life hell.

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

1.5 would be " the best" for homebrew and emulation. Kudos to Abu!

As for actual PSP games that i' m looking forward to:

Tekken: Dark Ressurrection
Moto GP
Metal Gear: Portable Ops

...and...

...Ridge Racer 2...



...but i' m MORE interested in the PSone emulator (due in September) and going back to play awesome PSone games again.

this is a poor list for a sony console , this is a shame !!

what the hell is happening to sony damn it!! i see the PSP vs DS as the xbox vs Ps2...

why the DS has castlevania and final fantasy while pSP got none !!

why is it that psp get so many ports over original games

why can' t sont make a PSP a true playstation brand

where are all the good rpg' s that playstation owners are proud of !!

you' re going down sony you' re going down

Not a fan of Sony' s consoles BUT I LOVE their handheld. I' m probably the biggest PSP *fanboy* here, cause I haven' t really put the thing down since the Japanese launch :)

But as with anything the best thing if possible would be to try before you buy. If you have friends with em, check out their PSPs and games. IF stores have demos, check em out. Really try to take the thing for a test drive..

The PSP was an awesome investment for me, but that doesn' t mean it' ll be a great one for the next guy. I have about 60 UMD games and half that number in movies and I' m not even going through all of the ones and more stuff is coming out. Color me a happy portable gamer

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

futur games that are interesting:

Metal gear

and thats it i think


Majik , the psone emulator got me excited but when i really think about it, i think i played all the best games available in psone , from racing to rpg' s... i thinki may be i just need to buy something this summer but nothig worth its price so far, even the 360 it will only be really interesting past October/novembre or may be tile early 2007, end even buying a very powerful graphic card is not worth it , i mean what would you play hun what could yu possibly play so far on pc that would make me want to upgrade nothing all games released so far i could play them with a decent frame rate and graphics on my 9800 pro, people i' m stuck, ii hate this phase ... who agree?

Except for the d-pad and the shoulder buttons I LOVE my PSP. Oh my God what an amazing piece of hardware that is. Just wow!
First of all the PSP has great games. Sure, they' re not as innovative as the DS games but they sure are fun. If you' re the kind of guy who wants console games on the go, then the PSP is for you.

I haven' t played all the games but I believe these are worth buying, judging by reviews and my own experiences:
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
WipeOut Pure
Ridge Racer
Daxter
GTA: Liberty City Stories
Lumines
Virtua Tennis World Tour
Burnout Legends
Field Commander
Pursuit Force
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max
SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals
Gradius Collection
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
Twisted Metal Head-On
Kingdom of Paradise (Key of heaven)
Monster Hunter Freedom
Metal Gear Acid 1 & 2
Me and my Katamari
Untold Legends
Tokobot
DBZ: Shin Budokai (if you' re into DBZ)
Coded Arms
Tales of Eternia
LocoRoco
2006 Fifa World Cup
Fight Night Round 3
Breath of Fire 3
Tenchu
WWE Smackdown
Tony Hawks Underground 2
Worms open warfare

I' m probably forgetting some good games but all the titles I mentioned above should really be worth playing. As you can see there' s a wide variety of genres and franchises on the PSP already but there' s more to come in the future:

Ace Combat X
Battlefield 2 modern combat
Blade Dancer Lineage of light
Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core
Gran Turismo 4 Mobile
Guilty Gear Judgement
Killzone liberation
Lego Star Wars
Magna Carta Portable
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Mortal Kombat Deception Unchained
Ratchet and Clank Size matters
Tekken Dark Resurrection
YS6

...and many more.
All these games have great graphics and many of them have wireless multiplayer or even online play. The huge screen is amazing and you' ll be familiar with the controll layout. Quick shutdown/startup allows you to instantly stop playing and then continue when you have the time without having the game loading.

If you don' t want to play those games and don' t upgrade your firmware you can play emulators or use other applications.
You can download demos, videos, music, photos and backgrounds to your PSP on the official PSP website www.yourpsp.com. If you get bored with games or just want to chill you can watch a UMD movie or easily take your videoclips on your PC to your PSP and watch them on the go. Or why not listen to some music?
With the option to use 4GB Memory stick Duos you can have tons of stuff on your PSP.
E-books, emulators, calendars, pirated games, movies, music, everything that has anything to do with entertaintment or multimedia have a place in your PSP.
I say: BUY IT!

Ginjirou thanks you so much , you really answered pretty much all that i wanted to know except for one detail which is very important, it' s about the batery, how long it last with intensive gaming thanks !

around 30 games!! are u kidding me terry ??

*SmAcK*

60 UMD games!
30 UMD movies!

god bless you terry, hundred like you and you made sony' s day!!

3,8 h in Ridge Racers - that' s the one I found tested :)

Abasoufiane if you love illegal games so much get a DS Lite and mod it - this way you can have the best portable software in large quantities, for free and with incredibly stylish design (almost 50% smaller than psp)- not to mention the 19h battery life on regular brightness setting and 9h on max brightness.Did I mention the lack of loading times?

:)

I think I' m going to get a PSP for video playback and stuff like that when they unlock higher quality video decoders (like the one for umd)

I would like psp to get its killer app, you know a game that hasent been borrowed or ported from its big brother [ps2]. Something new, and fun.

LocoRolo sounds like it, and its being heavily advertised over here. Did you guys play it yet?

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Abasoufiane if you love illegal games

i don' t love illegal games, i love games

thanks for the answer about ridge racer , only 3.8h !! it looks cheap

as for the DS i wouldlove to but i don' t know how to mod and i don' t think taht people in this country will know how tomod a DS, but again people in this country surprised me so much before sooo maybe i think they won' t bother much with the DS sadly because the PSP is getting all the attention, it' s sony , the playstation brand... liike you silentbomber, ' im really waiting for that killerap... i think that since i get games for free i won' t have to complain anyway right? not complain as you should guys, if i were you i would love to kill sony gfor not bringing the big guns to the PSP,not necessarly a game that should be made for a console ,something just in 2d will do really great if the gameplay is great...

So you dont wanna buy a DS cause you can' t MOD it?
That' s what you saying?

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

If someone offered 50 bucks for my psp I think I' d accept the offer. When Sony launched the psp I was so excited about it. I never expected PS2 quality as some did but I did expect the handheld to have a lot of great games. This isn' t the case at all. Terry you must be hypnotized by its sexy looks because the psp doesn' t have 6 worthy games let alone 60.

Monster Hunter and Breath of Fire 3 looks promissing but beyond that I don' t see anything that makes me feel any better about wasting 300 bucks on a flop.

The PSP itslef is a great handheld (except for the ghosting and dead pixels), but I don' t see enough support.

I' m only talking about the games because none of the other features and capabilities are well enough executed to even talk about. Watching movies from a memory card for example is more trouble then its worth. I think Sony purposely made it such a pain so people would actually buy the overpriced UMD movies.

And where the fuck is GT mobile!?

I hate the psp, I would be so much more happier with a DS lite.

this is a poor list for a sony console , this is a shame !!

what the hell is happening to sony damn it!! i see the PSP vs DS as the xbox vs Ps2...
why the DS has castlevania and final fantasy while pSP got none !!
why can' t sont make a PSP a true playstation brand
where are all the good rpg' s that playstation owners are proud of !!

you' re going down sony you' re going down

man calm down there are many good games on the works for the consol, here are some


Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Loco Roco
Valkiria Profile: Leneth
Finanl Fantasy: Crisis Core
Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters
Killzone
Ridge Racers 2
Gran Turismo Mobile
Ultimate Ghost and Goblins
Breath of Fire 3
Monster Hunter
Tekken: Dark Rsurrection
Daxter
Luminies 2
Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel
Silent Hill: Origins
PSP Eye Toy Game

just to say a few, things look very nice for the PSP future, the ceramic white version is about to be released, the PSX oficial emulator its another cool upgrade, so i thing a PSP its a good investment but only if u can afford buying a 100-200 dlls memory device...

if i' m going to buy a psp i' ll buy it with 2gig of memory , that would be sweet.

quez, what the hell are u talkinga bout, i' m not buying a ds because franckly speaking there are no pirated games or at least it' s far more complicated than PSP.

breath of fire 3 !! wooow what a great RPG oh my god i' m so excited!!!

i played that game 8 years ago or even more , i played it the year it was released and i didn' t finish it although i loove rpg' s why? simply because the game is SO SO. now sony come and they telling me they going to release an average rpg that was relseaed 8 years ago, i mean even if they polish the graphics , what the FUCK are they thinking !! ok not them that' s CAPCOM to blame, wasting ressources for almost nothing... and then they released a messed up viewtiful joe while the DS got the real deal , this is rediculous, i don' t know how developers think may be they choose a winner from the very begining ...

How about rpg naruto 3?
Or Final Fantasy 3?
the new zelda.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

C' mon just buy a PSP. The DS does have games that are more fun but that' s all it does. Plays games. With the PSP you' ll get a lot of bonus features. It' s not always that you want to play a game. Sometimes you just want to chill and watch a movie. Sometimes you' d like to show yuor friends photos and sometimes you might want to listen to music. The battery time is great. I' ve never had to stop playing because of the battery. And if you play more than 4H at a time (that' s not healthy man!) then you can buy an additional battery with even more power in it.
The only reason you should get a DS instead of a PSP is if you' ll only use your portable for playing games. But if you want more then the PSP is the best choice. If you want to do piracy stuff then no additional devices are required with the PSP.
The DS got the good version of Viewtiful joe and the PSP got an old Breath of fire, sure.
But when the DS got the old N64 Ridge Racer the PSP got a new great game.
And when when the DS got the old Mario64 the PSP got a new Daxter game.
The DS gets Zelda, well the PSP is getting FFVII CC.
The PSP ain' t so bad at games as some people say. BUY IT!

i think i would , maybe tomorrow and i don' t think i would regret buying because even if it' ll fail as a console , it will still offer some sweet features that will always be granted cheers all!!

BUY IT

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!

what do you play the most Terry?

1. Metal Gear Ac!d 2... I invested about 110 hours into the game in less than one month. This game owns my soul, which I find AMAZING because I LOATHE *turn-based* RPGS, strategy games, and card games, but Konami managed to take all three elements and make a really fun and highly addicting game out of it.

2. Gradius Portable... I love playing and replaying through Gradius Gaiden mostly.

3. Fight Night Round 3... I think the PSP version is BETTER than the Xbox 360 version simply because the characters move faster and I just like the feel of the controls better when I use the wrist strap for leverage.

4. Smackdown vs. Raw 2006... Another game I put a lot of hours into. Ever since I got the PSP version I haven' t touched the PS2 version other than using it to transfer over my custom grapplers.

5. Star Soldier... Easily the best remake of this classic shooter.. Better music and better gameplay than was found in the GameCube and PS2 remake of the same game.

6. Kingdom of Paradise... Easily my favorite RPG released this millenium... Was also the very first RPG I completed from beginning to end and on my own. And what' s even crazier was that it was the Japanese version!! Once I got the U.S. version it was a cakewalk, but I' ve put a lot of hours into the game.

7. Capcom Classics Collection Remixed... The BEST Capcom compilation released so far. I love it WAY more than the version originally released for the Xbox and PS2.

8. Gangs of London (E3 demo).... Downloaded it from E3 and still haven' t gotten rid of it yet. Going by the E3 demo alone, this game has the potential to be pure, utter garbage. I still play it on occasion, but I SOOO regret getting rid of the Ratchet and Clank E3 demo for this piece of chit.

9. Every Extend Extra (E3 demo).... Another E3 download. This game is addicting. I love it way more than the overrated Lumines. I' m not getting rid of this demo until the full version game is released.

On the movies end, this week' s UMD movie viewing consisted of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, I, Robot, and the Exorcism of Emily Rose!

I' m pretty sure you' ll be able to mod it no matter where you are , but you shoul know one thing about moded psp - it plays only few games for the psp - the ones that require ver1,5 - newer games (newer than Ridge Racers and lumines) won' t work - you' ll have to buy them.

At least that was the case last time I checked :)

Terry, you' re quite the avid handheld gamer aren' t you?

Always on the go?

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

psp will enventually be getting loco roco, one very few psp original.
may i recomend Daxter, gta liberty city stories. both are very addictive

i agree buy it i had one butsomeone at my school stole it. but you should buy it.

Terry, you' re quite the avid handheld gamer aren' t you?

Always on the go?

PSP has a nice comfortable home in the inner pocket of my jacket. Whereever I go, it goes :D...

The daily commute to work and back home is an hour and a half affair each way so I consider the PSP to be a godsend really! Plus with all the subway riding errands I do every week it' s nice to have for some short speedy play sessions or get further into a movie.

Why do I love the PSP so damm much? Because I am a WHORE for powerful handhelds.

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

Really, I thought you would be into the ds more, like all that 2d goodness and Nintendo games.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Really, I thought you would be into the ds more, like all that 2d goodness and Nintendo games.

I only have 5 DS games, lol.. I only buy DS games that I' m HIGHLY anticipating. Stuff like: Nanostray, Sonic Rush, Viewtiful Joe, New Super Mario Bros, Yoshi.

I mean to be completely honest, I was never all that enamoured with the DS, despite liking Nintendo more

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

Oh shit my inner Nintendo Fanboy is coming back.... gruargh no no no argh!


WHAT THE F*** is up with this thread hUH!?!?
Terry?! YOu don' t like the DS?! You prefer the PSP?!??! You are what you said yourself, a whore. Damn you bitch, I mean Whore!!!!!
You like powerful handhelds, well then the DS is the thing for you man!!!!
Sure it doesn' t have the same graphics as a PSP but it does have two screens and if you put the power of both screens together you' ll get the same power as a PSP DUMB ASS!?!? ISn' t that power or what!?!? HUH!?! Bitch answer me!!!!
And then the DS has touchscreen and other magical stuff that really needs power so it' s amazing man! What the F*** is wrong with you!
FIve games?!?! Are you retarded or what???? I bet you haven' t given any of the other games a chance even, you damn Sony whore, have you??!!! HUH!?!?HUH!?!? Bitch I' m talking to you, answer me damnit!!!
I bet you don' t even know the DS has a touchscreen DUMB ASS!!!!!! Or do you know how to use it? Maybe you' re too stupid to use a touchscreen and two screens at once?!? Yeah, that' s it, you' re too stupid to like the DS.
F***ing nutcase is what you are.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey
houwaaaaaaaaaa
I GOT MY PSP 1.5 !!!
yes yes yes heeeeeeeeeeeeeey it' s so fucking Scarce to find a 1.5PSP

Ginjirou you Bitch , the PSP is the best Console EVER to grace mankind

now please tell me guys, all the tricks to enjoy my psp at its fullest pleasse pretty please tell me everything, PM or something

i have three game so far, Daxter and Sword of eternia aaaaaaaaaaand Loco Roco that game look sooo cool from the very first minute , i hope it won' t disapoint me !!

well thank you guys in advance for your hook up !!

despite having both the DS and PSP, i must choose the PSP, but that' s becouse i love race games most. mariokart is my fav. racegame for DS, and ridge racer and outrun 2006 coast to coast are my fav. PSP racers.

if you love puzzle games the most, then i' d go for the DS becouse of the touch screen. playing zoo keeper is way exelent with the stylus. but if you like the more main stream games you also find on ps2 or whatever console. i gues its still up to you if you like the psp good enough to buy.

greetz,

music_maniac1965

If you run those games they' ll force an update and you won' t be able to run homebrew or use emulators.

Daxter forces and requires the 2.6 firmware update and Loco Roco 2.7.

Basically, playing the games you bought and updating will completely destroy any reason you had to get a 1.5.

You CAN trick the games though but i fear it may be too late already...

Majikdragon , i' m telling you it' s all right i play the game and once i trun off my psp and restart it, it goes back to 1.5 !! isn' t that just amazing , damn it is , i' m really happy..

Majik please let me know if you know (in private) how to use the " sugar" for my PSP , man anything you know .

Consider yourself PM' d.
