Who's seen the PSP up close and personal yet?

Post by **benheck** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:03 pm

I'm actually NOT planning to get one (hard to believe as that may be) but I am still quite curious about it. (since we all know how I feel about Nintendo and specifically the Gameboy(s))

So, how is it?

Gamelver owns one, but it's the japanese model from december. Not sure if anythings been changed with the US launch.

I played one a few weeks ago. It seems to be too fragile, but the screen is bright and crisp

Someone just figure out how we can rip the screen outta the thing and we'll have an even better screen for portables. Other than that, and future emulation (Which is virtually guaranteed because of the memory stick) I could care less about the PSP.

I think you mean "couldn't"

The PSP is a decently small piece of hardware. Its very slim and sleek. The nifty sleek style that is Sony is shown in almost every aspect of this portable device. Ben, what all do you want to know about it?

Bright screen? That big? Hmmm....how long do the batteries last, and will Bens PSP LED mod work with it?

Huh, never thought of that, has anyone gotten so close they could open one?

Post by **Gamelver** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 9:29 pm

the guys at lik-sang have

.....but I don't think we'll be able to salvage the screen as first of all, the screen's probably digital, and second of all, who's gonna waste $250 for a screen that size when you probably can't even use it?!?!?!?

Do they have pics?

Post by **Gamelver** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 10:12 pm
