more likely to save the battery power and keep a hidden card to them, now they are releasing their full power.

ORIGINAL: ginjirou

Why has it been capped?


It was found to drain the battery too quickly.

They capped it at 266MHz, but uncapped it runs at 333MHz. In comparison, PS2' s run at 299MHz.

It might not sound like much but the difference should be very noticeable.

So now I have to buy a better battery if I want to play for more than 15 minutes, or what?

Something like that.

But still, if they sort it so the machine only runs at 333MHz for games, the additional battery life when running at 266MHz when watching video or whatever will be nice.

The extended batteries are kinda' nice. They do what they say, but it' s not quite a 50% increase like some of the ads. You' re looking at more like 30%.

Nitro igames were not running at 266mhz, but rather at 222 mhz, only ratchet and clank that puched it to 266mhz, it made a big fuss at the time in the homebrew scene.

I didn' t know that all PSP games were locked at 266Mhz, I thought the developers had the choice if they wanted longer battery life or better performance. WTH did Sony wait so long to do this?

EDIT: Oh, Aba cleared that up. It was 222Mhz and 266Mhz.

" They capped it at 266MHz, but uncapped it runs at 333MHz. In comparison, PS2' s run at 299MHz."

It doesn' t matter, they' re not the same chip. I know, you know this but some here might not know that it' s apples vs. oranges.

The PSP redesign will probably be crucial to own for 333 mhz games now.

I like green.
Why aren' t there any green consoles
Qui-gon has a green light saber, there' s a green Power Ranger, Link has green clothes, Shrek is green, trees and most other tihngs in nature are green, girls with green eyes are cute, the Xbox' s X is green, the traffic lights has green lights, there are green Pokemon, but there are no green PSP' s

I' ve seen green 360s... they' re fugly.

I want to see a redesign in Navy Blue. The drive is bunk on my PSP, so I may just hold off on the drive replacement & get one of these puppies.

I might be interested in a PSP remodelled, but not everyone with a PSP will be prepared to chuck it and buy a new one. What Sony needs is a new battery pack standard. A thrid party have one that doubles Sonys capacity without adding much bulk.






On the subject of green. I prefer Black but black isn' t a colour. My favorite colour is green. Not that bright florescent green, I like the dark green.



That green is nice, maybe a bit darker.

In pigments, such as paint, black is a color -- it' s the sum of all other colors. In light, black is the absence of all other colors. And vice versa for white -- in pigments, it' s the absence of other colors, and in light it' s the sum of all colors.
