Saw from Yes-Asia website that the PSP Slim is going for roughly about RM 900+. Not sure how true could they be though as i remember seeing some announcement somewhere that it will be about USD 229.99 (IIRC)..

Guess we need to wait till official announcement from Sony though..

LOL..Ridge Racer.I like that..

Currently on Bleach 3 and Killzone Liberation but not really addicted to these..

Awaiting Crisis Core FF7 badly now..LOL...

Yea, thats how the battery life story goes. But to be honest, not many people will look into the seperate battery option. The reason for me is, IF they are going to use those old, bulky battery, even with a seperate battery cover, it is not going to look nice. It will cause the PSP SLIM to look THICK. This might lead to it looking not nice and doesn't feel good when holding as well..Thats my assumption though..

Riviera, is it good? Interested to try that out though..LOL...



1 more thing, had anyone encountered any issue with 3.52 M33 firmware thus far? Like unable to play certain games without UMD?

Well, bernard told me that the 3.51 M33 does not need any UMD at the meantime. Not sure about future games though..

He offered to sell me a UMD at a cheap price IF i need it but insist that i do not need it at the moment. So, i am not sure whether i really need it or not. But my cousin told me, from his research, it does seem that 3.52 M33 is having certain issues like needing UMD to run certain games. So, i really need someone who is using the 3.52 to clarify this matter. As for 3.51 M33, i had tried over 50 games on my PSP and had not meet this issue until now...

IC, i have yet to meet such problem though..LOL...Cause i am interested in flashing the firmware but i am afraid, by doing that myself, i might cause the PSP to be bricked. Is it hard to flash on our own?

One more thing, i converted an animation just to test out on my PSP yesterday and put it under the video section. Heard from bernard there is one more folder where i can put my movies in which is called MP_ROOT. However, inside, there is too many sub folders. Which one i should put the movie in?

IC, I think mine is MPEG4-AVC or something like that..LOL...

As off now, i am putting it on "Video" folder instead of MP-ROOT. What difference does it makes putting it on MP_ROOT or Video folder?

IC, doesnt this mean that putting the video in the "Video" folder is better than MP_ROOT? Renaming wise, i did it during conversion time though. Now using PSP9 as video converter. Looking to get WinAvi to try it out though...

IC, then is it possible to delete the MP_ROOT folder? Would it cause any clashes with the PSP?

Watching movies is nice on the PSP. Way bettttterrr than watching it using the Handphone..LOL..Its just that the sound is too low during noisy environment.

I tried NFS:MW before and i gave it a pass. Not really nice IMO. PC version is far better..I would take Ridge Racer anytime..

LOL..Yea, i understand. Maybe its because i tried MW on PC before and that is way better than what i expected on the PSP (Maybe i expect too much )..Anyway, ridge racer is nice. Is there any other nice racing games around?

Besides, anyone knows where can i get nice wrist strap for the PSP?

Well, at first, i tried to convert a movie just to test out the video capability of the PSP.

But after i did and watch it, i noticed that its WAYYYYYY better than watching movies on my stupid, small screen HP. The quality is nice, the sound is OK (using the PSP speakers). You can watch any movies but you need to convert the files to MP4 format first..

As off now, the latest should be 3.52 M33 (which rev i am not sure) and it should be the best around. Did somehow heard about some problem regarding "certain" games could not be played without UMD but that had not been proven by users here thus far. So, i guess it should be the best here. I am personally using 3.51 M33-7 which is good until now. Have yet to encounter any problem..

Well, i asked myself that question before. This is what i considered last time and make sure you think about it properly :

1. Do you need the PSP now badly? How irresistable is it to you? Can you wait?

2. Do you need the extra features like TV Out?

3. Do you like it slimmer?

From all the above, the main question that is bothering me about the PSP Slim is, when is it coming out and will it be able to support custom firmwares? I personally could not wait any longer than this and decided to get one for myself. Had yet to regret the decision here as i really do not need the extra features of PSP Slim. Current PSP is nice enough to play around for quite some time..

Besides, i really dont know how long the waiting game will be. Not to mention, how much will it cost when arrives. As i said earlier, if you could wait, that would be the better choice. Because, if you realise you dont like the PSP Slim, you MIGHT be able to get the older PSP at a cheaper price..


I am currently using PSP9 Video Converter. Quite easy to use and good, friendly interface. Maybe there is better ones out there though..

Tried WinAvi To MP4 converter but doesn't seem to like it.

About watching those directly, i dont think its possible. Unless there is any 3rd party software around to do so..

Just wondering, would that do alot of difference?

What i am more interested to see is that, the quality of the graphics improved into PS3 like..LOL..That will be very nice..

LOL..Yea, i somehow agree. I was actually quite surprise by how the graphics on the PSP performs. Maybe i am still in those old ages consoles but the moment i check out the games and their graphics, i was surprise that a device this small with that HUGE screen are able to generate such nice graphics..LOL..

Time to get addicted to other games already. My Bleach 3 is done, Ridge Racer is getting boring. Thinking of going for Killzone Revelation but scared i will be too addicted with it..LOL..

Virtual Tennis 3.. Is that very nice? Let me try it out as well...LOL...

Aiyak, Wrong spelling..LOL...But i guess this game will also get boring to me after i tested it out just now. Too hard to play..LOL..

How do we play online? Via wifi?But all i see was multiplayer using another PSP...

IC, thanks alot for the information there. Does this mean other games also can have Wifi Online option features?

I have tested Monster Hunter Freedom on my 3.51 M33 before. Does not need UMD to play..

OK, in technical terms, how do we differentiate HOMEBREWS with DOWNLOADED (aka illegal stuff)? I do not want to cross the line and get myself a holiday..LOL..

Wahaha..Yaya, and more time to play my PSP..LOL...
