PSP Accessories Discussion Thread

[richjwild]

I know there has been a camera and mobile phone attachment announced already, but does anyone else know of any others?

Also, which addons would you like to see on the PSP?

[Fats]

Accessories:

Stand
Headphone with remote commander
Headphone with remote commander and microphone
External battery pack
Case
Strap
E3 Prototype Exhibition: USB Camera for PSP
USB GPS for PSP
USB Keyboard for PSP

[richjwild]

does the keyboard mean an instant messaging service, and what does it mean by external battery pack, any clues?

[Kiwi]

I would imagine that there will be an IM service, unless it would be used along with the mobile phone add-on so that you can send text messages.

[Fats]

That look's quite small and difficult to use, I do like the transparent effect they have going on though. I take it it's on top of the PSP for show purposes? It would see a bit impractical if that's were it's really going to be positioned...

[richjwild]

i cant see that being it, it didnt seem to be plugged into the usb port


It would see a bit impractical if that's were it's really going to be positioned...

ye, ud be covering up the screen

[gamingmonkey2004]

i wanna know how you type with that sucka

[NickSCFC]

Using your fingers, or for strange people like GamingMonkey2004 using your nose.

[richjwild]

using a stylus

ill get the pic. . .

here it is. . .

http://www.pspinsider.com/screens/album35/aak.jpg

also, in this picture , there is different buttons -

http://www.pspinsider.com/screens/album35/aal.jpg

could it be using the technology in them see thru speech autoque things, wer it is just a piece of glass/clear plastic with writing goin up

wud they be able to do that in that small device?

[gamingmonkey2004]

Using your fingers, or for strange people like GamingMonkey2004 using your nose.

so what if i type nwith my nose, just so you know i typed that whole thing with my nose

[Gegenki]

I cant see the pics
I think i know how it might work. If it has a recieved at the end of each column, it could work out which key is being pressed based on the distance. It can work out the distance using the pressure.

That could work. And by da way, i cant see any wires leading from it, the usb could actually be in the bottom, which is why its on top, of corse it could just be on top to hide the wires, the "USB port is on top"

[Kiwi]

Going to make a discussion thread out of this one, just try and keep it on-topic people.

[Ibanez32]

If it goes where it does on the picture you have to turn it upsidown to type.

[Stinkin Mushroom]

A little pen will be given with the keyboard ...

[Stinkin Mushroom]

Oh crap i'm sorry i didn't look good ... sorry :?

[ultimategamer2004]

even so they are good pics the psp is going to rule handhelds.

[richjwild]

that camera looks nothin like a camera

maybe its a flash, like you can get for sony ericssons

[Kiwi]

None of the devices really look like they go with the PSP. I'm trying to figure out what the use of GPS will be as well.

[richjwild]

that gps thing looks like a bulldog clip or sumthin

[Kiwi]

Why would we want GPS anyway?

[richjwild]

what is gps, is it like sat nav in a car?

[the legendary ice man]

No idea.

It's got built in 802.11 compatability, and can connect to 'home-network hotspots.

Those peripherals, though great looking, look somewhat feeble and lack the ability to actually look like the usually do.

The PSP keyboard just looks dodgey, I had to look at my keyboard to see if any keys were missing :roll:

[Kiwi]

Yea, it's the same as sat nav in cars.

Global Positioning System. The only thing I could think of would be that you could use it to work out where you were going. But even that seems a bit pointless to me.

[the legendary ice man]

Don't you need extra software to do that?

[richjwild]

i supose it could be used to find the wherabouts of other psp gamers for multiplayer stuff,spose

although it could mean targeted muggings hmmm

[Kiwi]

At the moment it seems like a rather silly add-on. Maybe Sony have got bigger plans for it?

[richjwild]

ya neva no dya

woo i just realised i started this thread n its become a sticky woop it was my first thread too 8)

[Stinkin Mushroom]

Here in Belgium some cars has the GPS, some don't ... this could be usefull for some drivers who would like GPS but that is pretty expensive ... maybe the GPS on PSP won't be that expensive ... and it can also be used to find other gamers maybe...

[stars82]

i think there's this thing for palms that find resturuants, movies, chinese food,.. just about anything and gives you driving directions.

[ultimategamer2004]

Yes i belive there are loads of them around London...

[richjwild]

they can be used to find speed cameras cant they?

[gamingmonkey2004]

Here are all the accesories:

extern battery:

can someone give me the link to prove that that is an external battery or a battery recharger or somethin

[klaymen]

can someone give me the link to prove that that is an external battery or a battery recharger or somethin

you can tell because of the LED's in the top picture. it is the same as an iBook battery. i originally thought those were buttons, but seeing them close up i can tell that that is the battery.

[gamingmonkey2004]

it can still plug into a socket and be a charger. i just want the article thats says its a 2nd battery or w/e

[draco04]

well i don't really want to be wrong so I would like to see the link to where this info was found before i post my opinion.( but it does look like an external battery or charger it looks like it would plug stright into the wall and the so called buttons would light up saying how far it has charged.)

[gamingmonkey2004]

yet again draco is agreeing with me. it could be either a charger or a 2nd battery i just want the article to prove it

[draco04]

exactily, and the reason i agree with you so much is i think we think the same and we see what other rule out.

[Omega Blue]

exactily, and the reason i agree with you so much is i think we think the same and we see what other rule out.
No your slow and can't look it up yourself but can post asking someone to.

And Yes it is the PSP's external battery.

[richjwild]

it has a little battery picture on

that function can also be on a charger. to show how full the battery is! im not saying it is a charger..(anymore) but many of those things could be on either a charger of a 2nd battery

[draco04]

well it still looks like a charger to me( it may not be but that's what it reminds me of)the light would show who full the battery in the charger would be. although i am not ruling out that it could be a external battery but it just doesnt look like one.

[gamingmonkey2004]

it looks like both an oversized 2nd battery and a oversized charger so anyway its big.

[draco04]

because of it's size that is one of the resons that it reminds me so much of a charger and not a battery.

[gamingmonkey2004]

it looks like both to me...but i havnt seen the true charger yet so...

[Omega Blue]

the mere fact neither of you have tried to either prove us wrong or find out for yourselfs shows god does make mistakes and gives the wrong people functioning brains which they wont put to use. but you wanted proof here you go,

[DappaDizzle]

i dont care what now one say these stuuf looks grat from sony

[ultimategamer2004]

yeah it is going to be great and there are loads of accsesories some good some bad and some just average.

[richjwild]

which do you think are good, and which do u think are bad?

[ultimategamer2004]

Accessories:

Stand-Good
Headphone with remote commander-Might be good
Headphone with remote commander and microphone- ok
External battery pack- it will be a must get cus of the battery life
Case-good
Strap-bad/ok
E3 Prototype Exhibition: USB Camera for PSP-very good
USB GPS for PSP-good
USB Keyboard for PSP-good

[richjwild]

i hope the stand double as a charger, like sony cd walkmans :)

why the strap bad/ok, seems good to me

[ultimategamer2004]

yes i hope the stand does doble as a charger it is a good idea...

[richjwild]

oh there is sum external speakers, they r see thru plastic, they luk quite gud. duno if i wud get them, they seem a bit pointless , u cant hav loadsa ppl round a psp watching it. id just use the earphones, which luk very stylish aswell

i know what it is i was just stating what it looks like to me

[klaymen]

well, it could be both. i mean, it could fill up the battery, and then charge the psp battery. but, if all it was was a charger, what would the LED's be for? the psp probably has a battery meter on it (the screen that is). and whoever said it doesn't look like an external battery, what the hell do you expect an external battery to look like?????

[alens5]

can someone please post a picture of the usb camera for me

[Omega Blue]

can someone please post a picture of the usb camera for me
why can't you find it yourself? seriously, sh!t? this is the information Super Highway meaning Real F*ck!n Fast! try anyone of the thousands of gaming sites out there.

[Stinkin Mushroom]

can someone please post a picture of the usb camera for me

[ultimategamer2004]

Camera USB:

http://playfrance.com/news/images/,9123331,/zoom/5614.jpg

i think it could be a good add on to comunicate.

[richjwild]

it would be great taking a pic, then sending it to ur mates (for free hopefully, not like on ur mobile, 35 frickin p !!!! )

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea i know. it could be both. but i know it is a 2nd battery. it could be a battery charger and 2nd battery all in one!....nah just kidding

[PCP]

I hope they support Memory stick pro even with an adapter but I rather they have the slot it shouldn't be too hard to put it in the same Memory stick Duo slot, I know the specs say memory stick Duo but all there cameras and ther Vaio computer have memory stick slots. It be cool to be able to use them. I think they need the Duo for the video since its like 20 megs a sec but the pro memory stick and even regular memory sticks are fine for music, pics game saves. Plus some sony tv's have the memory stick slot.

[PCP]

anyone know how GPS works , do you have to pay a monthly fee or a one time yearly fee. Because my dad takes alot of trips and would like a portable GPS as an option since he gets lost alot.

[Ibanez32]

I'm not a 100% sure but i think its free as long as you have the equipment. The satalites it uses belong to the us army or something and they get their money from george so they don't want yours.

[richjwild]

im guessing you cant use the camera and the keyboard at the same time scene as they go in the same place. that means no instant messaging with webcam then . . .

[gamingmonkey2004]

a camera takes still shots....unless its like an eyetoy

[richjwild]

ye hopefully it will be like an eyetoy and you can save video recording to memory stick

[gamingmonkey2004]

to me it doenst seem that fun. maybe a few pics but a whole video of nothing? eh...not fun to me

[richjwild]

well u wud use it like a video camera

[gamingmonkey2004]

i guess so..but i would rather waste my battery on something more...um..meaningful

[richjwild]

i doubt it wold waste much battery actualy, seen as it would be saving it to memory stick not umd

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea.. i like hte memory stick idea better than the memory cards from PS2

[richjwild]

ye seeing as you can use them on pc etc not just ps2 n psp

[ultimategamer2004]

Yes i think the mem stick would be better for a portable instead of a memory card.

[richjwild]

i bet ps3 will use memory sticks

[Kiwi]

But then it would eliminate backwards compatibility with both PS1 and PS2 games. As you can't store PS1 games on a PS2 memory card, I would think that the same would apply in this case. Unless of course they have a slot for a PS3 stick and a slot for a PS1/2 card.

[richjwild]

gud point, seeing as backwards comp has already been confirmed, they probably use a memory card then. . .

[Kiwi]

There's nothing wrong with the memory card anyway. Although, I wouldn't mind having a larger capacity, as it's annoying trying to check 13 memory cards for a particular savegame.

[richjwild]

ye and them pes goal saves take up alot of room

[Kiwi]

Oh well. Anyway, back to the PSP.

[gamingmonkey2004]

whats the dimensions of the UMD disc?..if that doenst have to do with accesories then...how come i havnt seen a USB cord to connect the PSP and PS2 yet?

[Crono]

6 cm

[richjwild]

6x6 cm?

[Kiwi]

The disk is 6cm in diameter.

[kevindenoyette]

they could put in a multi-card reader. it's not much of a hassle to have slots for memorystick, ps2 memory cards. no need for ps1 cards, it'll be 12-13 year olds by then. come on.

[Kiwi]

It all takes up space. I'm sure that they've probably tried to make it as small as they can already.

[richjwild]

how come a ps2 memory card can hold only 8mb, yet a tiny memory stich can hold up to 2gb

[Kiwi]

Magic.

I don't know, perhaps they only wanted us to have 8MB?

[richjwild]

yes. . . mysterious magic. . .magic gates maybe. . . yes , a magic gate :|

[Kiwi]

See, that's exactly what it is! :)

[richjwild]

oh yes weve got sonys secrets and tactics figured out now, now onto microsoft. (what? we already know them? world domination? what ?!)

[gamingmonkey2004]

i dont remeber to many things about hte memory sticks durning hte release of ps2

[ultimategamer2004]

Magic.

I don't know, perhaps they only wanted us to have 8MB?

Sorry to getb off topic but PS2 mem cards 8MB for £15 which is the cheapest i can find and NG 16MB for an amazing £12.49 nintendo are very good value for money.

[gamingmonkey2004]

umm....PS1 and PS2 memory cards are the same

[aaronaja]

I am sorry that this may seem a little off topic but given sony's incredible line-up of accessories we should not just focus on the first party accessories but also focus on the third party accessories as well.
Sony's case for the psp is a great idea but I am not sure about how it will fit in my pocket. That is why my focus on the Sony psp covers will be third party accessories. You see the slim slip covers for the Palms, Clies, and PocketPCs made by third party accessory makers so it would be of no surprise if third party accessory makers make slip covers for the psp.

[alternate_ending]

umm....PS1 and PS2 memory cards are the same

You realise the difference in format and capactiy right ...?
They are only the same in dimension.

[ultimategamer2004]

Plus i dident say anything about thge ps1 amd ps2 mem cards being the same and i dont think he knows any difference..

Alll iu said was the space on the cards for ps2 and NG and the betterly priced the NG was.

[gamingmonkey2004]

umm....PS1 and PS2 memory cards are the same

You realise the difference in format and capactiy right ...?
They are only the same in dimension.


i know thats what i was saying

[alternate_ending]

umm....PS1 and PS2 memory cards are the same

You realise the difference in format and capactiy right ...?
They are only the same in dimension.


i know thats what i was saying

oh, ok, never mind then :)

and


how come a ps2 memory card can hold only 8mb, yet a tiny memory stich can hold up to 2gb

my guess is that its because this made them very very cheap to manufacture, and also because they didn't want enough space for you to load anything malicious (mods, software hacks etc) onto.

[KlawHammer]

Makes sense.

[Ibanez32]

I would thought it was definitely to reduce production and sale costs and to tempt you even more to buy a goddam HD. Thus forcing you to buy FF giving it record sales. Evil genious. :twisted:

[ultimategamer2004]

Yes the ff sales will go up but thats what happens i dont think they should only make it with ff.

And you can only fit the hdd with network adapter it is stupid.

[gamingmonkey2004]

it is because you cant play FFXI without the HDD and this way people wont be out there and like I CANT PLAY CAUSE IM A MORON!

[ultimategamer2004]

another bad thing though is the space it takes up on the HDD.

[NickSCFC]

Is the external battery pack rechargable?

[nobody]

no. u'll have to buy a new one when it's empty.

[ultimategamer2004]

Yes the external battery pack will be rechargeable they wont sell ones you thow away. :lol:

[games_ fan]

If it wasn't then what was the point of making it :roll:

[Makaveli_786]

Of course it will be rechargable... R U serious :shock:

[alternate_ending]

i actually made an audible laugh when i read that.....

[NickSCFC]

As it takes standard batteries, I guess you have to recharge them.

[richjwild]

the external battery pack uses batteries?

[NickSCFC]

Not hard to guess is it.

[alternate_ending]

I think the external battery is one big battery, not a bunch of little ones....

[richjwild]

thats what i meant, itll be a big lithium ion battery probably, did u think it was just a battery holder nick?

[ultimategamer2004]

rally you dont think it will run off standard aa batterys or somthing and if it wasent rechargable and it would cost probably £20 thats a waste its like a pound an hour for playing on the psp.

[games_ fan]

Most people expect rechargable things for handhelds now and if the external battery was just for holding batteries whats the point of it :roll:

[ultimategamer2004]

other than the power :lol:

non.

every battery power thingy for psp will be rechargable.

[richjwild]

does the psp come with a memory stick, or do u have to buy 1 separately?

[Ibanez32]

It probably will just don't expect it to be a very big one. Most their devices that use memory stick do but it only sometihng like 4mb.

[ultimategamer2004]

yes it will but it will only be good for saving games as it wont be that big by launch a 1GB stick will be available.

[Makaveli_786]

whens 2GB duo coming out?

[richjwild]

1gb and 2gb duos will cost loads when they come out, id get maybe a 256mb duo

[ultimategamer2004]

first they will cost a bomb and second theres no reason you should need one more than 1GB max for psp and thats ok when you save movies and pics.. :wink:

[sworder]

1gb and 2gb duos will cost loads when they come out, id get maybe a 256mb duo

Why would you need a 2GB duo memory stick? Ain't a 64MB memory stick enough? Well...it's your decision. :?

[ultimategamer2004]

1gb and 2gb duos will cost loads when they come out, id get maybe a 256mb duo

The size needed really depends on what you will be saving and how much of it.

[richjwild]

on it id have saves, music, video, downloadable extras (tracks etc)

[ultimategamer2004]

Well it depends on how man of them as well but i would get a 256mb stick myself. :lol:

[richjwild]

i would unless 512mb duos are cheap enough by then

[ultimategamer2004]

Same hear if i can get a bigger one for a decent value thats what i will get. :wink:

[Death, Jr.]

check out the Ebay thread for 512MB DUO price info

[Sharingan_Ex]

just a thought, I think Death Jr. has a point though. if 512mb will still be the highest memory stick by march 2005, then it's guaranteed the market price will go up because of the high deman by psp users.

[ultimategamer2004]

Yes but it wont be the biggest! :lol:

[nobody]

i don't think the price will go up.. the opposite will happen. (not because of the PSP)

[Sharingan_Ex]

sorry if that's what you feel. I guess you're right; who knows. :D

to be honest, I just applied the Law of Supply and Demand that I learned in my business class.

* I always try to learn as much as possible during class periods, so I can spend all my time playing at home. :wink: "

[Death, Jr.]

i couldnt agree with you more i keep a 4.1 and play all afternoon at home

[PsP_will_rock]

is memory stick duo an accesory
I'd consider it as a need not an option

[ultimategamer2004]

A memory stick is needed for game saves pic videos movies without a mem stick you wont get far with a psp!

[PsP_will_rock]

thats what i said

it is not a choice
you MUST have it

[games_ fan]

Well you havn't got to but unless you want to not be able to save games, music, videos etc. you have to have one

[ultimategamer2004]

yeah there is little point getting a psp if you dont have a mem stick.

[PsP_will_rock]

all u could do without one is use UMD's and not save games
that would suck

[ultimategamer2004]

yeah go back to the start of the game every time you turn off the psp :lol: omagine you get to the end of GTA and you turn it off withno stick!

[PsP_will_rock]

ahhh
that would be like nes (no save)

[PseudoChron]

How versitile do you think the USB port will be? My hope is that you will be able to plug almost any USB device into it, like mini USB drives and printers and such.
I have a 64 MB USB Jumpdrive that I would like to be able to save things to, if possible.

[games_ fan]

I doupt those things would work with the psp unless they release them specialy for it like you won't be able to get a printer that you use for your pc to work with the psp.

[ultimategamer2004]

No you may be able to plug a printer into it like you can plug some digital cameras into a printer! :wink:

[richjwild]

youll be able to plug anything in, its just whether the psp will have the technology to recognise what it is and how to use it

[games_ fan]

But you can't just print pictures you have to get one of those that you don't need a pc to print.

[ultimategamer2004]

yes perhaps the psp will be compatible with one of those that you buy for cameras :P

[richjwild]

did you both just totally ignore my post again?

[ultimategamer2004]

Nope i read it and it is totally right obiviously any usb will plug into it but i think that printers will be compatable well the ones where you print straight from a digital camera.

[richjwild]

obv u only read the first half :roll:

the psp will have to have the technology like ur pc does to recognise whats being plugged in, so it knows that its a printer etc. then the psp would have to know what to print, if the psps gunna be compatable with a printer they might bring out one especially for the psp

[games_ fan]

Oh when i posted that wasn't their :? how much do you think a printer for it would cost i think £30

[ultimategamer2004]

Yeah well my post dident explain it i did read it and after all the psp has a camera so its basically the same in that way as your normal digital camera.

[PsP_will_rock]

usb sticks dont work with ps2 rite well unless sony makes psp have waay better tech then i doubt it will
though i hope it will work

[alternate_ending]

I just had an idea. Sony can release any new gadgets, be they printers or what not, and just provide a UMD driver disc for USB support. However, that would require a small amount of permanent memory on board the PSP, or you would need all the system files on a mem stick. Hmm....

[ultimategamer2004]

Its an idea and if it would work a very good one its if sony think of it! :mrgreen:

[dryclean only]

Please speak english there ultimate. :P anyway i think that the PSP wouldn't really need a printer made for itself. Sony always uses stuff like their PCs and cameras in conjunction so people that go with all Sony get the most out of it. I think a VIAO or whatever that is will be best for connecting the PSP with and transfering Files such as screen shots or photos, and then you'd just print them out or host them on the web.

The printer thing your talking about would require you to have a PSP, Special printer, and probably a camera attatchment to the PSP. Now i think it would be way smarter if sony would make you ahve to use a PC so you could edit stuff before you print it out, not to mention it would be more usable for other poeple that don't want to spend to much money.

[kevindenoyette]

That reminds me, did sony ever confirm that you'd be able to make screenshots of your psp and save em onto the memory stick?

[PseudoChron]

Saving to a memory stick and then printing from that would make more sense then going directly to the printer.

[Sockatume]

That reminds me, did sony ever confirm that you'd be able to make screenshots of your psp and save em onto the memory stick?

Confirmed?! I didn't even know it was a rumour. However, Gran Turismo 4 has its screenshot-taking mode (fast-forward, rewind, and move the camera to take pictures from your saved replay data) which may well find its way into the Mobile Edition. I reckon few games will have similar features though.

[kevindenoyette]

It definately was a rumour, cause i wouldn't have made such a thing up i guess. I hope they implement this feature, nothing beats internet bragging rights / graphics show-off stuff

[Sockatume]

Oh, I'm sure you didn't just make it up on the spot, but I'm not convinced that someone else didn't make it up somewhere back down the line.

[jaxmkii]

hey nothing is impossible with the right plugins i can use my handycam as a media player of stuff i found on the net

[Ching]

I wonder how good the sound quality will be, it is hopefuly pretty good
but maybe it wont sound like you are talking into a can. if the sound quality isnt good then you can just get the headset thing.

[alternate_ending]

just remember we're talking about sony here. They have more than enough experience with audio products to ensure the sound on the psp isn't tinny. For me however, i will be using my Lp-E888's. Oh my god i love my headphones!

[wifi29]

Well I think it is safe to say that the psp will become very expensive in the long run although I am still definately buying it. It's going to be an awesome system but I think that once you have all the accessories you will have almost payed for the psp twice. I am definately looking forward them though. And as far as sony goes, I think they do a good job when they feel its required (I can't spell nesscary), because they've had some really horrible portable walkman speakers and they've also had some ~cutting edge~ ~top of the line~ speakers. I think we'll just have to wait till we get closer to launch date ;)

[ultimategamer2004]

yeah it will be mint and woth the money cus its going to be like a full entertainment system! Anyway welcome to PS3i.

[threepac3]

PSP is a ps2 in a thin, sleek, feature filled box. I love it

NDS is a n64 in a thin, sort of sleek, feature filled box.

[ultimategamer2004]

Yes i would agree but the NDS is slightly better performance than the N64 i would guess.

[PenguinBoy]

Is there any information on which accessories will be available as part of the PSP package and which ones will have to be purchased seperately?

AAAND! whoa! that external battery is bigger than the PSP, what is it? a huge bottle of lithium? when i first read "external battery" i thought there was going to be a couple of aa battery screwons, as seen on walmans. but WHOA THATS HUGE.

[PseudoChron]

I believe that the only included accessory is a small (32 MB?) memory stick, but that may be a rumor. And probably the strap, if that really counts as an accessory.

it's not. not at all. i saw a pic with both of em on and i can definately confirm the external battery pack is smaller than the psp, state your source or pic please?

[PenguinBoy]

http://www.pspinsider.com/screens/album35/aaf.sized.jpg

ok, a slight exageration on my part, but it's still pretty big.

[kevindenoyette]

it's about as big as my hand. I can just put it in my pocket, what's the big deal? It could have been way bigger man.

[ultimategamer2004]

It is slightly big but it is a decent size it shouldent cause any problems.

[gamingmonkey2004]

in my gameimformer mag it had an exact size PSP and i put my hand up to it and the PSP looks perfect when its...um flat...and uhh under my hand..anyway its perfect..then i cut it out and put it on my spiral notebook

[gamingmonkey2004]

july issue with samus on the front

[PseudoChron]

Do you think that there will be a Gameshark for the PSP?

[gamingmonkey2004]

most likly

[limbfilter]

BUZZ! wrong again! lol.
No there will not be a gameshark....or an action replay for that matter.

Gameshark discs are not endorsed by sony...In fact when they press the disc they have to use crazy taxi.... LINKY (http://club.cdfreaks.com/lite/t-48477-p-7.html). Scroll on down to Kizman's post to see what I mean.

The GameShark and Pro Action Replay are devices that allow custom cheat codes to be enabled in various console games. Originally developed by Datel Design and Development, Ltd. in the U.K., this technology is known as the Pro Action Replay in Europe, while distributed by InterAct Accessories as the GameShark in North America. Acting much like a trainer in the PC world, they write to locations in a console's memory to activate their cheat features. GameShark codes are not official products and are not endorsed by console manufacturers such as Sega, Sony, or Nintendo. In fact, Nintendo actively places new code routines in their Nintendo 64 cartridges to disable use of a GameShark. In turn, InterAct has developed a keycode system and ROM upgrades to keep their products working.

SOURCE (http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:tGNIlNyURbwJ:vgstrategies.about.com/library/weekly/aa051799.htm+gameshark+is+not+endorsed+by+sony&hl= en)

In short Gamesharks are partly pirated. And therefore never have been allowed to use sony presses....and since umds are only gonna get pressed by sony...I think it would be very unlikely...Let's say it like this....If gameshark comes out for psp...a) Sony will have bought them out, or b) Pirated games will be available because someone in hong kong will have pressed it.....

[gamingmonkey2004]

i never said anything about being endorced by Sony or anyone. I know that it isnt supported or endorced by any company in the gaming industry. He asked if there will be a gameshark and i said there will be one most likly i never said anything about endorcements

[limbfilter]

Again you looked at my post but didn't read it...We'll get it right one day.
I brought all of that up to prove that there won't be a gameshark. So most likely is wrong. With Sony controlling all of the presses is is in fact very unlikely. That is what I am trying to say.

[gamingmonkey2004]

i read it a second time and all you do is talk about how its not endorsed and talk about the gameshark and Action Replay.

I don't know how much more to the point I gotta get when I'm talking to you...but we'll figure it out! :D

[gamingmonkey2004]

why does it have to be a UMD? it could be Mem stick or through the USb port and make it like shark port thingy

[DappaDizzle]

yep could be able 2 stick it on the mem stick or codejunkies would find a way their good for cracking games

[gamingmonkey2004]

or atleast take advantage of the USB port..but Sony made PSP so nothing like that crap can happen so i would say in about 2 or 3 years they might release a gameshark

[DappaDizzle]

gd point super monkey sony are quite smart monkey ballz i like your post and opinions keep up the work man

[limbfilter]

if it's done on a memstick then it will be pirated right after that....or if it's done through usb....

[DappaDizzle]

true

[gamingmonkey2004]

[alternate_ending]

I'm getting sick of DappaDizzle's frequent posting with nothing to add. Entire posts devoted to single words like 'True' and 'lol' and 'yep' are not welcome (by me at least) on this site. Do you want to be a post whore that badly?

AND WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN SHIT

Dappa Out 8)


PS Dappa Dizzle dont care bout no danm postion . i dont really give a shit about being a member or a insider whatever . you must be real pissed cause your not

[DappaDizzle]

anyway bk to the topic the psp final retail info states that it will be bundled with AC Adapter (which will also charge the system, although there are also terminals for seating the system in a cradle)
Internal battery (which, we're assuming, will be bolted onto the system -- the battery is removable with some installation work, but it still takes some doing)
A pair of headphones (with a remote unit on the dongle, assumedly to control the volume -- the PSP has functionality to support a LCD-based digital remote for doing things such as changing music tracks while on the go, but the cost of including that feature may be prohibitive to inclusion)
A pouch (some kind of protective cover, likely also with a carrying handle or else an accessible slot for getting to the PSP's keychain hook)

[Fats]

Jesus. You're so cool, you sound like that lovely young man Snoop Doggy Dogg.

DOUBLE POSTER!!! :shock:

[speedis]

i wonder how "good" the earphones will be.. i'm getting these for my psp: http://www.shure.com/earphones/eseries_e3c.asp

[Fats]

$179.00... Jesus... :shock:

[kevindenoyette]

those are shit, get these. http://www.shure.com/earphones/eseries_e5c.asp

[PSPFanatic]

what are they made of GOLD?????:D:D

[gamingmonkey2004]

gasp!....wow..uh ill get the PSP headphones and not pay more for earphones then my whole PSP :shock: anyway dappa scared me

[DappaDizzle]

soz super monkey i just hate when peeple talk BULL SHIT for no reason

[kevindenoyette]

If we had more mods, your shit wouldn't fly. Well...I wouldn't let it fly. Stop being such a prick and try to post relevant stuff, alternate_ending has a good point, lots of newbies come on here and just post random stuff that's been discussed, this forum needs a sticky "RULES" topic. anyone who doesn't comply, gets punished.

[alternate_ending]

I can't believe you won't admit you were in the wrong with entire posts devoted to 'lol', 'yep' and other shit like that. When i make a post, i try to make it have some benefit to the other readers. What does anyone gain from your 'one-worders'?
I know you know how to edit posts, so why the double-post?

Anyway, i've got my headphones down pat. Sony MDR-E888lp. Worth $135 down here in Aus.

Here's IGN's review for those interested:

[DappaDizzle]

yo ender cut the shit u write what u want i write what i want and dat is the END did u guys hear about the new list tHAT OPM wrote in thier latest ish of accessories that will be bunduld wid the system ...........

Taken from opm latetest ish

It comes in three packages, with many features

PSP stand-alone:
$149.99

PSP package 1:
$ 199.99

Features:

* 1 rechargable battery
* 1 charger(for the battery)
* 16mb memorystick duo

PSP package 2:
$ 299.99

* everything featured in package 1
* 64mb memorystick
* strap with built in headphones
* camera

PSP package 3(media package):
$ 349.99

* everything in package 2
* 256mb memory stick PRO duo
* aluminium alloy case
* gps device
* translation software

EDIT: Oh yeah, the battery life has been announced but it's just a well educated estimation by Sony based on old figured. It's 8 - 15 hours depending on the game but still set to change.

I expect the official battery life will be announced when the figures with the lock down on streaming and the other resources is confirmed.

P.s You Bitchs Like my new posts

[PimpTolson]

ok, i dont feel like sea4rching through this topic, but is it at least 60% possible that a cell phone attachment will be coming out within a year of PSPs release? Thanks for the help guys

[alternate_ending]

i don't know how you can expect someone to say: "yes, it is almost exactly 60% possible."

You jackass, just buy a goddamn phone. I wouldn't be holding it off just because they said the PSP COULD have a phone when it was first announced.

And stop asking for rediculus answers.

'I'd say its (42.2453*Pi*r squared)/18 % possible that the phone add-on might come out within 8 months, 2 weeks, six days and three hours of launch'

Buy a shitty cheap phone!!!

[limbfilter]

I still can't figure out why people want the cell attachment...My sony t616 could beat the pants off it in battery life....

[PimpTolson]

uhm, thanks for insulting me, thats whats wrong with people, being stupid and looking through other people's perspectives or anything. why cant people just be nice? im never mean, i ask a simple question and people act stupid, and annoying. And its kind of simple why i would want the cell phone attachment. and uhm i dont feel like walking around with 2 things in my pocket, so why does it matter if i dont want another cell phone and a PSP, when i can have both, in one? makes sense? yes. so shut up next time

[alternate_ending]

Its fair enough to ask whether the cell phone addon is coming out, but how the hell are we gonna know if "but is it at least 60% possible that a cell phone attachment will be coming out within a year of PSPs release".

If you actually read my post there was an answer in there, but no, you ignored that. How many of your posts haven't been about the cell phone attachment? We know as much as you, asking over and over and over and over isn't gonna solve anything.

[PimpTolson]

ok well, ill ask one last time, is it coming out? like has it been confirmed? this is the last time ill talk about it if someone just answers me.

[speedis]

it has not been confirmed.

[DappaDizzle]

sony needs to hurry thier ass's up

[GD|eNSo]

I might have missed it, but was anything revealed about that translucent keyboard and such? The one we saw at E3.

[freakyfreak]

uhm, thanks for insulting me, thats whats wrong with people, being stupid and looking through other people's perspectives or anything. why cant people just be nice? im never mean, i ask a simple question and people act stupid, and annoying.

If Sony does release a cell phone attachment...it will probably be bigger than a standalone cell phone. It would probably have to come out of the USB port, and for one thing that would look weird talking into and # 2 you probly wouldn't be able to fit it in your pocket.

You wouldn't be getting both in one. You would be getting them both...but attached to eachother.

[Celestial Sage]

sony needs to hurry thier ass's up

True! :D

They are taking weeks, almost months........
They said thast they will release the Price after TGS which will probraly be months from now whe sony releases the Japanese PSP:lol:

[Abstract Emotion]

The magazine add saying those price bundles was a fake, I thought that was old news by now...

[gamingmonkey2004]

yes those prices are fake. they have not mentioned anything about price its as easy as looking at the frontpage of the PSInext they have all the TRUE facts and dont belive anything like that when clearly none else is saying that..and if you read closly it might say OPINION or something

Those pics make me drool. Thje deluxe all in one pack is definatly the MUST BY of next year, that and DMC3, but hey that is another story....

[PseudoChron]

Those are some nice pics, but I expected the USB cable to come with it. I would want to save music files to the memory stick without buying a seperate memory stick drive, and Mini USB B to USB A cables are not very common.

[kevindenoyette]

good point, pseudo. hadn't though of that. oh well, i have the micro usb to normal usb already, came with other sony products.
