well.. depends on what you want to do with it ofcourse..

It normally comes with a Sony 32MB memorycard for savegames and such, but if you want to put to MP3's on it or watch movies on it, it's better to buy a bigger memorystick for it.. 1G, 2G, or even 4G is available but it depends on your needs and wants.

The 32MB is sufficient for savegames though.

Getting a screenprotector might also be advisable since the screen scratches really easy. Getting a good hardcase for it might also be smart, but the PSP does come with a soft pouch to put it in.

As for helping you with gaming.. there is nothing you can buy actually
Just play a lot and get better

I don't know wich combined pack you are thinking about buying, but a standard PSP Valuepack has these items



The PSP
A batterypack
A powersupply to charge the PSP or play while it is charging
Headphones + remote
32MB memorystick
A wriststrap
A soft pouch

Most or all combined ( game + PSP) value packs have these items in them too ( read the box or ask the store)

hmm soo all i have to do is buy a standard psp pack+ casing and screen protector rite?

[KNETTER2000]

The PSP2 is still nothing more than a rumor from what I have seen and read.. I have seen no official statement yet it's coming or is even being made..
I'm not saying it's not possible that it;s coming..I've just not read anything official about it..

For a hard casing I have ordered this one for both my psp's: http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwmetalcase_details.php?i=41
It's very much tougher than the logitech one

and as for a screenprotector I have these: http://videogame.brando.com.hk/prod_...006&cat_id=005

the protectors are actually quite fiddly to put on without dust under them.. but it really is worth it.

I don't think I can give you any helpfull tips without them being biased through my own game preference..

I liked Tekken Dark resurrection very much.( tekken fan :P)
LocoRoco simply rocks.
I liked Killzone a lot.
I'm just done with Splinter Cell Essentials
I Liked Chili Con Carnage
I liked Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex

I played Lumines, Lemmings, Mercury + Mercury Meltdown,Tokobot, Ghostrider and many many more. They were nice but not all that interesting imho.

but it all depends on your preference..

Rumors are just that.. I'm not going to hold off buying anything based on mere rumors.. especially rumors that have been there about 6 months after the PSP came out and those same rumors said it would be there or in any case a prototype at the end of 2006. where is the prototype? even the pics out there are concept art made by non officials.

That's actually a nice casing except it has no individual style.

I'd choose quality and protection over nice skins anyday

Any screen protector will do, they are pretty much all alike. But they are a Bi+ch to put on without getting dust between the screen and protector. I myself uses Hori. Recommendation use a fan when putting on the screen protector.

I applied them in the bathroom with a steaming hot shower on so the steam and dampness took up all dust

worked for me :P

Ah well whatever it is going to be, we'll see how it unfolds.. there's bound to be a successor to the PSP along the way, I'm just not going to go on rumorsm however trustworhty they are said to be, that's all

Well it depends on how careless the individuals are. It's kind of odd that I only use my shell when I put it away at home, but when I travel with it all I've used was the screen protector and yet I have never dropped it once nor had the need to use a shell.

It depends on that yes.. but it;s not always you who isn't carefull
I have owned the logitech one but it broke after heavy stuff fell on it ( a coworker knocked over a computercase at the service desk right on top of my precious PSP) and it still cracked my screen under it.. after I replaced the screen I bought that airplane grade aluminium casing from Brando. I've found that it can withstand trays of canned drinks being trown on it without it buckling or damaging the screen (my annoying sister put it in the trunk of the car right before we did some wholesale shopping... ) I don't think an added sticker reinforces the logitech like that

But I think in many cases the logitech case is sufficient. I just prefer an undustrial grade safetycase

Weirdo...jk

Hmm... wouldn't there be little of speckles of water from the steam on it.

Nope, there was and is nothing under it. it works like a charm
and yes.. I am somewhat weird, but my weirdness payed off at that time :P

[Sides]

PSP2 won't happen,
from those rumour the only thing i see happening
is an updated and redesigned PSP, just like the slim PS2, PSone,
GBA SP or NDS lite.
Added flash memory or faster UMD drive doesn't make it a PSP2.
Changing the chip and adding futher instructions onto it,
that would be a psp2.

Read this artcle, posted one day after the other one from above

BTW isn't the logitech case made from polycarbonate ?

Why buy one?

i tell you what, I will just give you mine. i had it for 8 months now, and all i've used it for, is to watch anime, play nintendo games and read ebooks.

dunno why i brought in the first place, shame i can't really find anything i like to play on it, better it get used then sitting in my desk gathering dusk....

Dark_AleX's 3.40 OE-A ?

also this is my PSP menu




btw: there is no PSP2
sony disclaimed all rumors of it

Hey i was also thinking of getting a psp (for crisis core ) but theres a few other games i was looking at but my questions are.


Can i play importet games? And i heard theres a hookup kit that lets u play on your tv is that anygood?

[Angel Wings]

wait, can you play anime on a PsP ?!...
damn... I get a game magezine evry month... but i dont read the psp thingies, things...thing...................
but can you read the subs on that thing?...
It would be handy couse i travle about an hour to my scool... with a to full buss, witch sucks...

why do i always put so much ................ in my text...

[Joe88]

if there hard encoded in a avi file
then just convert it to MP4
I perfer jMEnc2 as a mp4 converter, and its free

as for separate sub files, you have to go through a lot of work of converting, then reconverting ect ... via VirtualDUB mod and AVIsynth

I dont really watch videos on it
I mainly play homebrew, emu's and such

[GHDpro]

Soft-subbed anime will also work, if you follow this guide: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=47693
Just replace "PS3 Video 9" with "PSP Video 9" (Google it).

Also make sure to install the latest firmware (v3.40) as that'll finally allow you to encode video in the native resolution (480x272) and copy them easily to the \VIDEO\ folder on your PSP (when plugged into a PC, a PSP works like a USB memory stick).

But yeah, there's lots of uses for a PSP. I used it as a walkthrough for FF1 on my DS once, by putting the walkthrough from GameFAQs (.txt file) in the root folder of the PSP and browsing to it using the PSP Browser (URL: file://ff1.txt). Then I put the FF1 world map in the picture folder. Really useful for on de road, albeit using two consoles at the time is a bit odd.

(I've done the opposite thing as well btw, when playing Sakura Wars [J] on the PSP I used my DS to look up kanji using Kanji sono mama)

It'll only work with hard sub. Not too sure about soft though.

I haven't used mine to watch any movies.

EDIT:

If you meant are they visible? I'll give it a try and see. Nvm... too much work.

I went to the store today... I probebly cant read the subs on that...
