lolololololol!!!11111
"Hottest new handheld around"?!?!?!?! wtf gayballs

Hence, this pretty much confirms the PS3 Slim

You're kidding me, right?

Oh how I wish he were kidding.

I'm really skeptical on this. The price is going to be really high considering it has built in memory and wtf is Memory Stick Micro? I've never heard of such a card. But I don't know, maybe they will reveal something else worthwhile at E3..

its known as the M2 card, its been out for a while now, not really used at all though
my sandisk MicroSDHC usb reader has built in M2 support also

Well at least its cheap storage. 8GB for $25 thats pretty good considering MS Pro Duo's are expensive.

have anyone posted this already?




ugh... >_>

Sony can try to upgrade the PSP, but no matter how much a person polishes a turd it's still a turd. Sure, the PSP has its perks, but it still doesn't compare to a DS and a flashcard IMO. They haven't added any noteworthy upgrades over the 1/2/3000 models (ooh wow, a built-in mic and maybe some more RAM, if I'm correct), and this one has more losses than wins IMO. The lack of a UMD slot really does kill it for owners of UMDs, unless Sony has some master scheme to allow users to freely download the games they own, which would spark into some sort of loophole and be the next piracy attack, I'm sure. It has bluetooth? Ok... bluetooth is relatively useless in a device like this. All it'd be good for is connecting to your PS3 if you own one, but who's rich enough to keep up with Sony's expensive crap anyways?

The existing PSP is in no way a turd. It's a portable emulation and media powerhouse, which the DS most certainly is not. Whilst it may not have the games library of the DS, it still has some great games which are definitely worth playing. Fancy a bit of Snes, PSX or Neo Geo action....the PSP is your machine!

Would i have wanted an unhackable PSP without the emulation and homebrew...no perhaps not. But it's really not hard to get one and anyone who vaguely criticises the PSP without real justification has obviously not owned one.

ds phat is better

I'll have you know I own a PSP3000 (with ChickHEN), and I would easily trade it off for a DSi and a flashcard. Maybe the hackable ones are better, but I still don't find them as enjoyable as a DS. And the DS can also emulate. Perhaps not PSX or N64, but almost anything else.

but most of the emu's are junk

the PSP emu's pretty much outclass any DS emu
mainly because of the hardware limitations, and developers leaving the projects

I lol'd

 

[xist]

You're not comparing like with like Skyline. I agree the PSP 3000 is a poor piece of hardware for the exploiter, but that's your loss for having that console version. Once you have a CFW PSP the DS has absolutely no redeeming emulation qualities, as the PSP totally destroys it with the range of options and compatibilities.

Would you trade your PSP for a DS and a flashcard that only let you play select bits of homebrew and no ROMs? That's a fair comparison. Until you have some kind of experience of a properly CFW'ed PSP your analysis is totally flawed.

There's no point arguing with him, xist. Since he clearly has never played a worthwhile PSP, he's talking out of his ass. Comparing DS emulation to PSP emulation is like comparing a go-kart to a porsche. They are both capable of arriving to a destination, but the experience is not the same.

Playing Mario RPG on a quality wide screen, vs the DS where you can maybe play the simpler games, cropped, and only if you're willing to put up with graphics issues. Fully featured Sega and GBA emulation (yes, GBA emulation is superior to running it natively: the screen is larger and nicer, and having amenities like cheats, save states, and customizable controls is always a plus). Even the NES and Gameboy emulation are superior, when I got my PSP slim I just deleted all my old DS emulators and roms because there's no point. It would be like ditching a top of the line gaming PC for an old 233 mhz. The newer system can do everything the older is capable, only better.

 

[Skyline969]

Talking out of my ass? Before you start a flame war, I suggest you shut up, dib. I've tried the SNES emulator, and I wasn't impressed. The games still skip. Sure it's impossible to get it 100%, but one Kirby game was just embarrassingly horrible. It ran at maybe 10 FPS and was unplayable IMO. I'll agree, NES, GBA, and Sega Genesis emulators were very impressive. However, I'd rather play GBA games on my DS as it feels more... authentic, so to speak. Ok, so a CFW PSP enables homebrew and pirating PSP ROMs - the same as a DS flashcard allows homebrew and DS ROMs. Sure, a 1000 and 2000 may be comparable, but the 3000 and probably the Go are completely incomparable.
