Well that'll sure knock the wind out of your sails in a hurry!

Heh....it would be virtually impossible as the keyboard is a slider, not to mention that the phone wouldn't dial without opening the phone app, which would appear on top of the DIVX player (read: porn) letting me know it was making a call.

It does kick ass for regular movies, though. I can compress a full-length DVD into about 300 MB and it looks great on any screen 4" or smaller. On my recent road trip to California we had two pocket pc's and my phone (which has a big screen for a phone) and had eight 1 GB SD cards. So we had more than 20 full length movies to choose from and enough players for everyone but the driver. Pretty cool. Also, if you already have a collection of ripped DVDs (which I do) you can change the resolution and shrink existing Divx movies really quickly. It only takes about 15 or 20 minutes to take a 1.5 GB DIVX and make a 300 MB version of it.

That's a LOT of money in hardware and software to watch Police Academy 4.

Oh, don't worry. It's mostly taxpayer money. You don't think I paid for all that do you??

If you get a new PSP, isn't the firmware updated to not allow mods on it?

Or can I get ANY PSP and put emus on them?

plus don't some games force you to update the firmware?

or am I way off base here?

cause I kinda want one....

ChadTower · « **Reply #46 on:** September 06, 2005, 09:54:07 am »

No firmware disallows mods. That is what mods are.

It may close some specific holes, but mods will still happen.

you dont want a 2.0
theres rumors of a downgrader, but alls there is...rumors.
you want a 1.5 psp.they have an A or nothing under the barcode on the side of the box.
if you go to pspupdates.com they have a thread describing what to look for when trying to find a 1.5.
basically go to the poorest most rundown town in your area where sales would be low, there most likely to still have 1.5's on shelf.

Then, when you buy it, sprint back to your car before the poor people beat you up and take it.

That's possibly the silliest thing I've ever heard. The black one doesn't match your purse or what?

Purse is fixable, I bet its the eye shadow that doesn't match, or the lipstick.

They're wrong. There is a 1.51 and 1.52, neither of which can run the hacks.

A PSP, case, and decent size MS is gonna be closing in on 350 when all is said and done, that's alot for a portable. That being said, I have one and its neat.

maybe only available in japan

looks nice

The white is being referred to as ceramic. Now I haven't seen one yet, but hope that it has a finish that is more fingerprint forgiving than that of the black.
