PSP Impressions

Err..I'll end this little tiff by clarifying that yes, I was speaking about the built-in speakers and NOT overall audio quality itself. I never bothered to listen to the PSP using headphones. Would be a nice test though. I presume the devkits can play back mp3 (I think the mem stick port is actually in the pc-like portion and not the PSP).
The "PSP" portion of the devkit is literally just a controller with a screen, all the ports and other stuff is in the big box.Ty said:
Have to say it's a good idea to keep it like that given the amount of abuse kits usually get
So the screen on retail units is definately better then the Oct. devkit revision?
We were all a bit worried about the change on those.I was actually getting my retail unit around christmas but I won't be back to Seoul until January so I won't see it for two more weeks

Yea, I wasn't sure because I'm not on the team that is making our PSP launch title but that's where I remembered seeing it.

No, I meant that our latest devkit (I believe it's the final one) has a better screen than the previous devkit - the one that has the same screen that eventually shipped for the Japan release. Therefore, this should mean that the American release for the PSP will have the better screen - at least I hope. Note that I am NOT speaking about testing units as we won't have those until March (AFTER we've submitted - how silly is that?)

Hehe, I'll just wait for the US release (that and some killer titles).
Yeah, this is about as good a picture as I could find of them both. Looks like it was longer but thinner. Another view of the classic.
You sure the actual retail (japanese launch) PSP screen is not the same quality as the last dev kit one? Looks strange to me. I mean, there are 200.000 PSP out there with "shitty" screen compared to the ones that will be distrubited after that? As an early adoper/importer I don think I feel gratitude towards SCEI for this.

Hehe, well, I hope your team got their devkits confused (as in if they've been given info that retail unit will use 'screen from the latest devkit' but they weren't aware of the new devkit that was coming soon) as I too am importing the current PSP from Japan.

Well, look at it this way you guys are getting the PSP 2+ months earlier than the rest of us who are waiting for the official launch in our territory, should not we get a prize ?
.Still, if what he says is indeed true then even Japan will get the new screens soon too.

Who says that the other screen is shitty ?
Is my PlayStation 2 SCPH-50001 shitty just because PSTwo came out ? No.
The actual screen is wonderful, the supposely "new" screen would be better, but how much better can it be ?
You guys are getting a 24 bits, 4.3'', 16:9, 200 cd/m^2 screen with a quite low response time (the effect you report TTP is not that noticeable to piss anyone off, you could say it is pretty minimal/irrelevant to the over-all graphical experience).. maybe the new screen is better, but we would also be getting the screen 3+ months after than you happy importers.
Why should SCEI play fair game for you ? I accepted the fact that often games are perfected for the European release or a Japanese re-release (various International version for Final Fantasy or what happened to ICO, Z.O.E. 2 and MGS3 which got optimized more for the European release).
I would be pissed if I got the unit at the American launch and they released a month after a MUCH better PSP that shits over mine, but I doubt that if the screen is improoved at all that it will result in a really considerable upgrade over what the early Japanese launch machines got (both units will be so far ahead compared to evrything else on the market that comparing the two and looking for differencies will eb a very hard and tedious task: SCE knows the appeal of the screen and they released a great PSP for the Japanese launch and I expect them to release an at least just as great PSP for the American launch which comes after three months of envy
).Think about this in the following way: go to BMW... say that you want a new 3 Series... they will tell you "well, you know you can have it customized the way you like it in 6-8 months, but we happen to have one scheduled to be fabbed in 3 months with these features. Do you want to wait ?".

It's OK Pana, I'll buy another one when it launches here anyways
my impressions. I received 2 PSP packs with Ridge racer and 32mem stick.
I open the package and WOW . silky smooth . feels so expensiv (and paid so much )
just played a few minutes with the system. call me impressed.
first thing first, the screen is absolutly amasing!
started up Ridge racer , damn , it's almost difficult to believe you are seeing advanced 3d grafix on such a screen in your hands..
if there are euro guys here who are searching for a psp pack let me know. btw
