No, it accepts other headphones. This one is a headphone with a built in remote jack. Like a NetMD remote so you can control "play,pause,volume" all on the loop.Saturnman said:Wait, the PSP only accepts custom-made headphones? That's a rip-off...

Those commercials are terrible and "Ridge Racersszzzz" looks terrible in motion.

Does that surprise you? Every other feature of the PSP is a bullshit proprietary Sony standard.Saturnman said:Wait, the PSP only accepts custom-made headphones? That's a rip-off...

I mean, I love the unit, but it's basically a vehicle to sell a bunch of other overpriced Sony products.

As pointed out, headphone jack supports standard headphone plugs as well. Might as well repeat it since people are ignoring where its been pointed out earlier.Rhindle said:Does that surprise you? Every other feature of the PSP is a bullshit proprietary Sony standard.

It's called the ANALOG NUB.kaching said:and no actual analog pad...the thing that looks like an analog pad is actually a mono speaker.
There's no good reason for yet another optical media standard. Mini DVD has just .3GB less capacity and is only slightly larger than the UMD disc. And even if Sony thinks the current Mini DVD standard has some unspecified shortcoming, they could work with the standards body to develop a refinement -- but, as per usual, they choose to strike out on their own with a proprietary standard with no support from anyone not owned by Sony.kaching said:As pointed out, headphone jack supports standard headphone plugs as well.

Out of curiosity, what would you have used instead of UMD? And bear in mind, pre-recorded game media might as well be proprietary regardless of whether its burned on some industry standard physical media or not.
Wifi is 100% industry standard. So is USB 2.0, and the IRDA port.
As for MemStick, there's no standard to the flash media market and you need not buy a Sony branded one, since you can also purchase from Sandisk or Lexmark at less cost with no noticeable sacrifice in quality, so it isn't exactly the ideal "vehicle to sell a bunch of other overpriced Sony products" as you claim.

How much bigger is the Mini DVD compared to UMD? I'm not sure I'd like PSP to be any bigger than it is, just for the sake of using something standard.There's no good reason for yet another optical media standard. Mini DVD has just .3GB less capacity and is only slightly larger than the UMD disc.
DVD consortium members make money off every DVD license sold. Does that mean it should bother me? I mean, why should I, as an end user, care how much anyone makes off the licenses? The PSP is damn cheap, memory sticks can be bought for a reasonable price from Sandisk, and that's all I really care about as far as those prices go.As far as the Memory Stick, Sony earns a royalty on every MS sold, regardless of whether they or one of their licensees makes it.
It plays MP3s, and it plays videos that you put on it (your 'home' videos, not just UMD licensed and DRM-ed stuff). It (of course) supports any headphones.Then you have all the back and forth over whether it will support MP3 audio or just Sony Atrac. And there is still no confirmation of support for any standard video codecs.
Surest way to mire launch of the PSP in bureaucratic limbo. Why expect Sony to do this with the PSP more than any other console/handheld manufacturer before? Every game console and handheld before this has used bits of industry standard here and bits of proprietary design there such that the complete package is essentially proprietary.they could work with the standards body to develop a refinement
MPEG4 AVC. Been confirmed since the initial announcement and has only been reinforced since then. Industry standard like the MP3, USB 2.0 and 802.11b support.And there is still no confirmation of support for any standard video codecs.

Ridege Racer looks incredible... how could you buy a Nintendo DS knowing this is on the way...
I might buy it just for the Y's game... it probably plays smoother on PSP over the PS2...
