Anyone tried this on the Fat before? |

QUOTE(tomatos @ Feb 18 2008, 11:09 PM) I'm interested in a PSP but completed know nothing about it. I've gone tru the FAQ at post #1 and would like to ask few questions. Hope this helps.. #1 What is the difference purchasing from console shops instead of purchasing from Sony Style Malaysia? Have it this way, purchasing from Sony Style will allow your PSP to be warrantied directly from Sony themselves. It will confirm that you are getting all original stuff but at a much higher price and lesser package as compared to the other sellers. Therefore, in the opposite, you will be getting a far better package at a cheaper price if you are getting from sellers outsite. However, there is no warranty on the PSP by Sony and you are at risk of getting fake accesories. #2 What is a modded PSP that console shops sells? Why are they not warrantied? What is the purpose of a modded PSP? Its actually installed with Custom Firmwares (CFW). By having a CFW, you will be able to play homebrew games as well as games directly from the Memory Stick by itself. The reason for not warrantied by Sony - they are modded Some (or should i say, many) actually uses the CFW to play downloaded games etc and does not buy the UMD sold by Sony themselves. Now, you can do the math on why Sony does not want to warranty them #3 What does region do/mean? Well, basically there are different regions depending on where the PSP was launched and to be sold at. And that being said, there are actually games/movies that are region dependant and would not work with different region from the UMD themselves. To learn more, look at greyfox's post above. #4 PSP got wifi. How do i type alphabets when i surf the net? There is actually a virtual keyboard (or should i say, alphabet sellector) in the PSP itself. Kinda hard to use at first but you will get used to it in the end. Eg:  #5 When i build my PC i have basic knowledge about PC and how to troubleshoot. Do i need some basic knowledge how to handle a PSP to own one? Like is there command or scripts that i need to mess with if my only intention with the PSP is to play games and maybe surf the net? No. You do not need to mess around with the PSP. Just use it like a console will do unless you are really into customizing the PSP itself. #6 Where do most LYN surfer buy their UMD games from? The games selection seems limited. There is plenty of PSP/UMD seller even here at LYN. Try look around in the Console/Garage Sales section. There is one alternative that provides a lot of UMD Choices - PlayAsia.com. They do offer shipping to Malaysia #7 Is there instant messenger(IM) for PSP? As off what i know, SKYPE is official at the latest firmware. But i only tried online web messenger before using the PSP #8 Will there be a new PSP soon? Do YOU GUYS recommend me to purchase the PSP without having a game desired? Till now I only play computer fps games so no favourites New PSP? Only Sony knows. But there is no sign of it coming anytime too soon. I bought the PSP without any desirable games but to be honest, i never regret. The great variety of game choices, the number of additional functions and portability is what makes the PSP something kinda hard to resist. Thanks. |

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "read this an think". Please elaborate. Thanks. [/quote] simple answer cfw does not make your psp can play other region for umd movies. [/quote] I thought CFW allows you to play non-region free UMD as well?  |

QUOTE(greyfox @ Feb 19 2008, 04:16 PM) we talk about umd movies , not game , yes there is option free umd region but it's not working IC. Thanks for correcting me. Its just that i saw the Free UMD Region setting in the recovery menu (IIRC) and i thought that will allow us to play non-region free UMD as well. @bill3 like Lakum said i think you got free region umd movies .A lot people over the net/forum find it's not working QUOTE(msn83235502 @ Feb 19 2008, 04:26 PM) hahaha..i dont know why but yes, i did noticed dell's USB are running at lightning speed.very much faster than other pc.hahaha.. Wow...700MB for 2mins? Same case here for my 4GB memory. Damn, something with 700MB would take me, roughly about 10 - 12 mins to finish transferring and 700mb should not be 30mins..i think ur usb or card reader is running on slow usb.i'm using fake 4gb non high speed too.but didnt took that long. Added on February 19, 2008, 4:28 pm yup greyfox.eventhough there are fake region.but it still not work.i've tried mine with lakum's umd.  via USB cable. |

QUOTE(penmarker @ Oct 9 2008, 01:27 AM) haha.. i only own a psp. no nds. Yes, i have personally tested the ChottoShot and the quality amaze me for a 1.3MP camera. Very good indeed for a 1.3MP camera. but i thought the camera quality is great?. have you seen the actual shots of the camera?. the 1.3Mpix is true u know. not like a regular camera or cameraphone's camera that enlarges the image to 3mpix, 4mpix etc etc. try looking up for some shots of the camera. sucky night mode though. too much noise. |

QUOTE(dattebayo @ Nov 3 2008, 10:20 PM) PSP3000 not even officially launched in Malaysia yet, so fast PSP2000 running low on stocks? LOL..There is always a way to bring them in even without officially launching it here. Heck, when the PSP2000 was out, PSP1000 is low in stock as well and thus, the same circle of price going up etc. |

QUOTE(VHunter @ Nov 4 2008, 02:54 PM) But allen, if you look at it this way. Well, it still depends on how you look at stuff. I bought my first PSP1000 when the PSP2000 was originally announced. At that point, the price for PSP1000 is at a high as there is rumours saying how the PSP2000 cannot be hacked and must use UMD in order to play. So, i spent more instead of waiting for the new PSP for the reason as said by you, expensive UMD etc. PSP 3000. RM750, correct? After you completed the game, eventually you'll go and get one, which costs around.... say... 80 bucks? Adds up, costs around 830. It may still look cheap, but somehow, the PSP 2000 still worths it. For one, you can play ahem games, costs around RM5 only. And you might wanna shop around, go to Bernard's place. I got mine 840, 4GB high Speed (Filled with games, themes, etc etc) and it comes with 2DVDs that holds around 18-20 games. However, just barely 1 month after i grab the PSP1000, a CFW was officially announced for PSP2000 and the price started to drop way cheaper than the price i bought the PSP1000. In the end, i got myself another PSP2000 as well. So in this case, my personal advice is to wait for the CFW to be announced for the PSP3000 (if you can wait for it) and if you feel the PSP3000 is a better device than the PSP2000. Else, then there is no choice but to pick up the PSP2000 now at a jacked up price. QUOTE(MeruChan @ Nov 4 2008, 03:18 PM) how much would upgrade cost? You mean firmware? It varries. Might cost RM10 - RM30 depending on places or sometimes, you can get upgrade for free |

QUOTE(VHunter @ Nov 4 2008, 05:45 PM) Ehhh but now if you look at the 3000 model, in my opinion, the interlacing issue, you know, the scan lines, it makes me appreciate my 2000 even more. Well, thats one issue that needed to be considered. As in its a long term issue or can be solved in the later batches of PSP3000. Still, its still not worthy to purchase the PSP2000 at this point due to the price. |
