mooseknucks Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 these graphics, everything, it's friggin' ridiculous. $299 is pretty over the top though, but i'll definetely get this, it's really in depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooseknucks Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 i might just wait till the price goes down to like 150 or something, or maybe 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYYKing Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 good luck waiting till the price goes down to 100 because Sony is likely losing money already by selling the console at less than 200 Sony desperately wants to completely dominate the handheld genre, and the first thing to do is to put out a far more capable machine at a competitive price. The PSP can be used to watch movies (Final Fantasy VII Advent Children) and you can use the memory card to import music and movies. The only weakness of the machine is the battery life, but you can buy backup battery packs at a fairly cheap price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snash13 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 i thought they were poor CPU graphics ... they're amazing for a handheld device.EXACTLY. those are the better grapics than the gamecube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 $299 is a steal in my opinion. If you can play games, play mp3s, movies and use it as an organizer if Palm comes through that is a great deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike828 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 To clear up any confusion. The PSP is not $299. It will be $179.99-$199.99. The PSP does not have better than Gamecube graphics. That is impossible since the PSP has a resolution of 480x272, while the Gamecube runs at a minimum of 640x480. The battery life is different for every game. A racing game may drain the batteries in 2 hours while a puzzle game may take 6 hours. Sony hopes to have a battery released in the future that will last 12 hours per charge. Finally, those screenshots are great graphics for a portable system. They are much better than PSX graphics, and almost as good as PS2. The screen resolution will always prevent it from looking as good as PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

five Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 299? screw that The link that I posted quoted the price at around $200 not $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYYKing Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 They are much better than PSX graphics, and almost as good as PS2. you meant PSOne, because PSX is Sony's PS2 entertainment system with DVR and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 you meant PSOne, because PSX is Sony's PS2 entertainment system with DVR and such. The first playstation (not the mini PSOne) the gray rectange one was called the psx. If you go to psx.ign.com it pertains to the original playstation.

mike828 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I didn't mean PSOne. I meant PSX. This is what the original Playstation was called in 1995, before there was such a thing as PSOne. It doesn't matter anyways since they are the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYYKing Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 well, technically, generation 1 playstations should no longer be called PSX this...is psx and don't confuse this with PS3....this is just PS2 with multimedia features added on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolidWing68 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 This is just titled MVP Baseball, not MVP Baseball 2005, it doesnt represent what 2005 will look like on consoles,pc..but it does look nice on a handheld console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ability Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Great for a handheld.. I only own a Gameboy SP, and I think I'll stick with that. If I'm playing a handheld, it's usually something 2D... anything 3D is on my consoles/computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are using the same engine they are using on the consoles and PC but the details will be watered down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
