My gamestop called me a little while ago and said that they are having a midnight opening tomorrow night. Oddly enough, I don't have my PSP ordered there but oh well. If you have a PSP ordered at Gamestop, you should call tomorrow to check if they will be having a "Midnight Party" as they call it.

Dunno why I'm posting this other than people seem to love pics =)
arse - I've preordered MGA from Videogamesplus.ca but I think I'm stuck because its with Mercury which seems to be delayed.
Do Canadian sites get stuff later? Other sites seem happy to send stuff out early so you get it on the release date...
[/QUOTE]SO what is the deal with charging the PSP up anyways? I never know what is the recomended approach for these kinds of devices. I assume the unit will come with some kind of charge out of the box. Should I play off that charge untill it is entirely depleated and then give it a full charge? Or do I not even turn it on first and go for the full charge?
Or does it not really matter?

I'll ask again: Can I use the power cable from my PS2 and plug it into my PSP's AC-adapter?

Insane For Sony
Got Wipeout last night. Again, I can't say much that hasn't already been said, but at least some technical comments:
- When you are playing Zone mode or the time trial, or free ride mode, basically as long as you are the only ship on the track - the framerate is perfectly steady 30FPS. When there are other ships at the track, frames start to drop a bit.
- All tracks use very, very nice particle and glow effects. Great use of both. Zone mode in particular has some *wicked* use of these.
*edit* Ignore what I said about the music before!!
Each song LOADS when you highlight it in the playlist. Once it's loaded, you can pull the disc out and it will continue playing. In that sense it could either be a MOD file (set of samples + music notary) or an MP3-like compressed file.
Again, music sounds very good.

TV commercial?
Marconelly said:
Yup!
Pretty stylish commercial. Like an improved version of Apples Ipod shuffle commercial. It starts out with just showing peoples faces in this widescreen box and you don't know whats going on. Then it flips out and you see them using the PSP on the go in different areas. The commericial goes into a montage of people using the PSP in different places for different reasons. Some shots show people playing games. Other shots show them watching movies (They show RE: Apocalypse in the commercial) and another one listening to music. At the end of the commercial a user puts the PSP in a duffle bag as he is ready to head out. They don't show the release date or price in the commercial though. Also, in the background parts of Franz Ferdinands 'Take me Out' song and lyrics play during the entire commercial.

OK I whipped up a few solid color jpgs to test for dead pixels (DP's).
Since DP's can come in different colors, download these and put them in your photos folder.
Cycle through and confirm that you are DP free.
Cheers, and here's hoping that you are DP free!!!

You could cycle through the months on the PSP as they are different colors, but this way is quicker I think.

how do you know that it's the right one? Not to question your credibility, it just looks different than the boxes offered on ebay, and there's no mention of the PSP in the descriptions.
EDIT: I don't think this EXIM screen protector will work on the PSP. Just warning you. This site says that the screen dimensions for a Motorola E1000 are 2.2", whereas the PSP has a screen size of 4.3". Buy it at your own risk.

Hey everybody, I am new to these forums here. Long time viewer and first time poster here. I have had the Japanese import system since Decemeber, and I am happy everyone else here in the U.S. is getting theirs also. I think the PSP is the greatest thing since sliced bread. The thing is so damn awesome in every way. I picked up Lumines, Ridge Racer, THUG2, NBA (not as bad as reviews make it out to be), TM:HO, and Wipeout Pure. Wipeout Pure has been the most impressive game of the bunch so far, the nostalgia has me beaming here. I am also thinking of picking up Untold Legends and MGA. I need more impressions of MGA and some reviews on Untold Legends before I make the plunge though.
I was wondering if selling my Jap system and getting a US one would be the smart thing to do. The Jap systems are easily going for the retail price of the U.S. unit here. I paid over 400 dollars for my Jap. system, but I want a warranty and the ability to watch UMDs. I figure the extra 170 I spent was worth it to have access to the PSP three months earlier than all the other U.S. gamers. My square button works okay most of the time, but I have to hit it the right way for it to register. I also feel like there are some nice little refinements the U.S. ersion that merit consideration. I am also slightly worried about imcompatibilty with jap systems and U.S. online enable games. As you can tell by the flow of my rant, I am leaning to toward getting the domestic version. What do you guys think?
