PSP is a NICE toy

[Neurorelay]

Just purchased a PSP from the local wal-mart with NFS: Rivals and the system and game rocks. Went ahead and purchased a larger mem card (512mb) as the 32 is just too small. There are already convertors for video files, and the media playback is excellent. Now they just need to release a firmware update to allow for net surfing and such. With this and an RCA Lyra....I think I have protable media locked down.

Any defects?

Mine had 26 dead pixels

Good thing I checked it right there in the store, they gave me an instant refund

One right towards the very edge at the top right, other then that quite nice. And hehe, of course a repost, who doesn't have one? Hehe. So much, so many toys, too little time.

Seems strange that there are so many dead pixels for so many people.

20 were RIGHT in the center

4 off to the right

2 off to the left

I didn't even count ALL of them, there may have been more

agree. I just squeezed 3 MTV videos (each around 40MB originally) into the 32MB card using PSP Video 9. 300k streaming-like quality. now just looking for a deal on a gig of memory stick.

 

[Jejunum]

is there a good site that has psp rumors or up coming news?

 

[Maximus96]

how do you check for deal pixels at the store?

 

Do you sit in your house and play it?

No battery that comes with it, comes fully charged, atleast mine two did,


also I got one without any dead pixels, but UMD drive makes a lot of noise, other than that I love it, I got Ape Escape with it!

Fully charged? That's weird. I thought they drain the rechargeable batteries dry at the factory. Meh.

i think it is partially charged. I know for NiMH batteries it is best to store them partially charged.

Nimh also discharge a few % each week of shelf life.

 

[Rage187]

I have 0 dead/stuck pixels.



BTW I use it while waiting for the WoW servers to come back up.

i mean how do you get the entire screen to show one single color inorder to detect dead pixels?

I would love to have one of these, too bad for so many bad stories. This is why I never worry about being the first to get new hardware.
