How is this better than a PSP /w CFW?

[Schizoanalysis]

Dingoo has a "hold" switch -- so when you put it in your pocket while playing MP3s, it doesn't skip to the next track when the "next" button is nudged

My PSP always does this...

Lol, the PSP has a hold switch too.

Crap... i totally forgot about that...

My bad

The Dingoo also plays a bad ass game of Duke Nukem 3D (I've said this a few times but it's still a nice plus to me!). PSP might have this too but if so I never got around to giving it a go.

The PSP does have a Duke Nukem port for it, but the last time I tried it you could save, but not load... That was over a year ago so they may have fixed that.

wait what? duke nukem for psp? i never heard that T_T

Price I'll agree with, tho I firmly believe in "you get what you pay for."

So if you get what you pay for then if one store is selling a psp for $150 and the other is selling the same thing for $200, the $200 one is then better?

Just because something isn't that expensive doesn't mean it's inferior to a less expensive item, it is true for some things but not all things.

i think you missed his point.

the only pros this has over the psp imo, is the ability to do all the emulation and homebrew (on the psp) out of the box. also for some finding 1000's, compatible 2000's, 3000's under/at 5.03 can be quite hard. this is a good alternative if all they want is to emulate a couple older systems.

there's also a point that most people have omitted: the buttons/controller style...

the dingoo uses the same buttons and d-pad as nintendo handhelds and more precisely the SNES d-pad which is universally acknowledged to be awesome (see the "best controller" poll we had a while back, I think the SNES pad won?)

on the other hand, and thats just my personal opinion, the PSP controls completely suck. I've played the PSP a few times and the buttons (as well as the size of the thing) is what completely put me off. I'll never get a PSP because I hate the stick, the d-pad i found terrible, that alone is a killjoy

again, personal opinion, but I think i'm not alone if i remember the "best controller" poll.

with the dingoo you basically get a snes controller with a screen

i think you missed his point.

No I didn't, I was being overly dramatic and sarcasitc. Anyways his point doesn't make sense as I've bought several electronic devices in the past and can tell you that out of a majority of them the cheaper products worked just as good if not better and often lasted longer than the more expensive ones.

I did mean Duke Nukem 3D, which apparently came out in '06.

Duke Nukem 1 & 2 weren't ported to PSP, but a Duke Nukem 1 (I think) clone, Dave Gnukem, was ported to Dingux. I guess that's a Dingoo plus for the classic Duke Nukem fans out there...

EDIT: Also a Duke Nukem Trilogy was supposed to come out for PSP as a legitimate game, but it seems to have fallen into TBA hell if GameFAQs is any indication.

One of the most notable benefits of the Dingoo over a PSP with CFW is that the Dingoo has "Dingux" linux available for it, which opens the door for ports of games/emulators, and new games/emulators.

Beyond that, there is an official SDK for the native OS on the Dingoo, and plenty of development happening on that too.

what other stuff are you going to emulate? a nes? the psp can emulate n64, sega saturn, dreamcast and ps1, what can the dingo do?

Um excuse me?

Sega saturn? the framerate sucks balls.

n64? There are only a select few games that work 100%, and even less that run full speed.

Dreamcast? are you on crack? There isnt even an emulator released for it and even if there were, take this into consideration...the Xbox couldnt emulate it properly. So what makes you think the PSP can?

Do you even OWN a PSP?

 

[Splych]

umm...
i own a PSP myself and before getting one, i already had the thought of getting a Dingoo.

but first off,
you can't compare the Dingoo and PSP. they are two different systems that are designed for 2 different things. the Dingoo was made to emulate all your ROMs and games and what not while the PSP was designed for you to buy games...

secondly,
if you compare the Dingoo and PSP right out of the box, clearly, the Dingoo would win in this section since you would be saving money. for PSP, for it to be hacked and used, you will need a Memory Stick (and a Pandora Battery. not always, if you wanna risk soft modding). unlike the Dingoo, whereas you can just use it right out of the box since it is technically "hacked" so your games can just be transfered to the Dingoo. with the dingoo having internal memory, you are already saving money.

now the only reason why i have a PSP is because it was sorta... Rushed. i had to get a new device to play my music, and the Dingoo was a little far off to my dad since it was made in Asia. I would consider the Dingoo for something more portable since it is easier to bring around unlike the bulky PSP... but overall, they seem to be equally even.

that looks like a counterfeit product? it says "SONY" on it... I doubt sony actually produces that... ?

 

[RedBaron]

I have been assured it is not counterfeit and it does come from SONY but when, it's there answer to the Nintendo DSi XL
Even if it is counterfeit I want one

...By who? By the person trying to sell it to you?

It's counterfeit. Accept the obvious.

 

[RedBaron]

I have no idea who is selling it but I wish I did I buy one

 

[Salax]

I have no idea who is sell it but I wish I did I buy one

Obvious fake is obvious. notice the complete lack of an analog stick. And the picture is obviously Photoshopped onto it, look at its bottom left.

Even if SONY did make these, I can't say that they'd sell too well. Your best bet is to get glasses.
