Every time I try to upload images or videos to my PSP, it gives me the usual "There are no images. You can import images from a PS3 or PC." runaround, and when I plug it into my computer, it shows all the images, in the image folder, in JPEG or GIF. I am using the most recent firmware, and a Windows 2000 computer. Could anyone help me as to why it won't display the pics? [[User:Radman622]] 15:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC) |

Rechargeable battery?
does the PSP have a rechargeable battery? I figure we ought to state whether or not in the article (plus I'm planning on getting a PSP, and I would personally like to know, anyway) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.218.92.100 (talk) 23:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Of course it has a rechargeable battery. Pretty much all high-tech handheld electronics have rechargeable batteries nowadays. Farslayer (talk) 07:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes and perhaps you should also know that it lasts up to 13 hours I think depending on the brightness level and sound and what type of media you are using. But most of the time I find the battery to be very reliable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Camilo101 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
PSP sales are out of date
Sales data needs to be updated to correct numbers, like DS and wii have. Units sold says its only 14.49 million, and units shipped is 25.39 million. Anyone with a brain can see how stupid that is. The source of that 14.49 million is from a chart on sonys corp site, and it says, that figure was calculated from (starting at) 2006 onwards to Q2 07. With the reasonable sales of the lite model, im sure both shipped and sold would be over 30 million by now. I guess we will probably have to wait till sony releases numbers in march 08? The best for sold numbers is vgchartz, but they are pretty poor for sales numbers, especially for the PAL region.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.158.241 (talk • contribs)

addtional numbers? http://ps2.ign.com/articles/853/853090p1.html Kamuixtv (talk) 13:29, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Slight wording change please
(Under Games) The sentence "Currently, the only two official ways to access this feature..." should be changed to "Currently, there are two official ways to access this feature..."
Saying "the only two" impresses upon the reader that there should be more, which is an extension of opinion.

Screen
There's no mention of the spec of the screen; what size it is, that it's LCD, what kind of backlight it uses, how the Japanese version differs, ghosting and/or blurring.
I came to the article hoping to find what size the screen was to compare other gadgets to it, but to no avail.
Here's a source of info on the specification, including the screen: http://www.psp-zone.co.uk/PSP-Technical-Spec/PSP-Specification.html 84.12.21.141 (talk) 00:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the screen's like 4 and a half inches, and in 480p? or i? There's not any blurring or ghosting I've seen. The important thing to know is it's a better screen than the DS, and that it's also one of the biggest screens I've seen in handheld devices like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Camilo101 (talk • contribs) 17:45, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
its not in 480p or i, infact a device like this would never use an interlaced picture, the screen is 480x272, i have a japanese launch machine thats horibly ghosty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.97.202.197 (talk) 02:18, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
CES
A few announcements were made at CES '08 by Sony:
- Skype voice communication coming to the psp
- Camera coming to the U.S.
- GPS coming to the U.S.
- Keyboard coming to the U.S.
- Able to download Blu-ray movies that are in your PS3 to your PSP memory stick to play. Saves more power than if you were playing a UMD movie.
I found all of these at The Feed.--Playstationdude (talk) 20:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Here are the "permalink" links to those articles: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/681975/CES_2008_PS3_Puts_BluRay_Movies_on_PSP.html http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/681984/CES_2008_PSP_Gets_Awesomer.html http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/681851/PSP_To_Get_Skype_Support.html 85.211.74.214 (talk) 07:20, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
More about the Blu-ray to PSP news; it actually contradicts what G4TV said; G4TV said that the videos would be converted by the PS3; CVG says: "Select Blu-ray films due for released in 2008 will come with a second PSP-formatted version of the film on the same disc." http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=178884 85.211.74.214 (talk) 07:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
The Skype implementation is only for the PSP Slim and Light, cause the original has a lower amount of "system memory" or "main memory" (is that RAM or firmware memory?)
Quote:
Following a system update in late January, the Skype icon will be added to the PSP's XMB in the Network section. However, because the original PSP-1000 model only has 32MB of system memory, as opposed to the PSP-2000's (PSP Slim and Light) 64MB, the original PSP will not receive this Skype compatibility unfortunately. As Nick Sharples, SCEE's Director of Corporate Communications, explains to Three Speech: "Although PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 are identical in basic functions, there are differences in hardware specifications to some extent and, for that reason, PSP-2000 may differ in features from PSP-1000. We had studied the possibility of supporting Skype with PSP-1000 but had to give it up because of the smaller size of main memory on PSP-1000 series."

PS3 and PS2
I have added that you can connect from and to a PS3 OR a PS2 FOR Japan AND North America.GD1223 (talk) 12:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Ps3 has sold 10.48 Million Consoles in the first 3 quarters of the 2007 Fiscal Year (Up to December 31st)

Mistakes ?
current - The unit measures 170 mm (6.7inches) in length, 74 mm (2.9 inches) in width, and 23mm
altered - The unit measures 170 mm (6.7inches) in length, 74 mm (2.9 inches) in width, and 23mm (0.9 inches) in height.
also, there seems to be no closing bracket for the first one opened.

Variations/Slim and Lite error
"and the speakers have been moved from the face of the unit to the bottom, to combat users hands from blocking the speaker of the old model." this is wrong, on the slim and lite the speakers have been moved from the bottom to the face, the top of the face to be exact —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.97.202.197 (talk) 02:15, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

PSP selling for a loss?
Might add to the article as well Kamuixtv (talk) 13:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think it is, unless you have a source that says otherwise.--WhereAmI (talk) 05:45, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure they took a loss at launch just like every other Playstation product, but by the launch of the slim those costs were down significantly especially with the new PSP-2000 slim model. The memory cards alone have plummeted in value/cost, I remember when the PSP launched a 1GB Pro Duo was about $100 now you can find 4GB Pro Duos for under $45, Sony announced 16GB Pro Duo Memory cards at CES 08' (they will be cheap in 1-2 years). —Preceding unsigned comment added by DevonTheDude (talk • contribs) 03:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Version
The new version right now people who are using is the psp slim which u can play ont eh the computer and on televisionɟ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.78.66.6 (talk) 09:05, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Best Selling Game
Is Daxter's 2 million really the highest selling game? According to VGChartz (I know I have sinned on innacuracy but when it comes to large numbers especially 2 times the amount of Daxter) http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=5165 Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is the highest selling game @ 4.68 million. Are there just not enough sources to show this?--WhereAmI (talk) 05:45, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
God of War: Chains of Olympus and Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core are likely to be the next two best selling games, especially with the Kratos PSP coming out in June. God of War: COO is already the highest rated overall PSP game on Metacritic (Score:92) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DevonTheDude (talk • contribs) 03:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Video Playback Resolution
Currently the section "Multimedia playback" states: "As of firmware update version 3.30, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Main Profile video files of the following sizes can be played: 720×480, 352×480, and 480×272." Now, maybe I've greatly screwed something up, but a) I've tried encoding in every one of those resolutions and the PSP will not read the file despite having the most current firmware, and b) every other piece of information I find on the internet states that there is a resolution cap of 76800 pixels. 368x208 has never failed for me. And the picture on the right which claims to be at full resolution doesn't prove anything. 24.71.87.48 (talk) 09:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)AceOfShades
Flash Game on the PSP
Flash Games On the psp, user can put and use flash games on the memory stick by using the web browser. To use it, you need to have a .swf file and putting it on file://common/XXXX.swf where X is the name of the flash game. The flash game memory can’t be no more than 2,000 kb, since the psp web browser can’t read off a lot of memory. Flash movie where use to watch on the browser instead of the psp video XMB. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuzzypuffsam1 (talk • contribs) 15:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Regarding the safety issues
I believe that the explosion from the 12 year old's battery was because he was using a third party battery, which are unsupported by Sony. Third party batteries are highly unrecommended and explosions have actually happened several times due to them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.70.167 (talk) 18:24, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
GPS and Camera peripherals dissapeared
I heard there was some news on the GPS and Camera finally coming to the US, so I came to this article to check up on it (verification, dates, etc), but the GPS and Camera info seem to have vanished from the article.
96.229.207.78 (talk) 01:12, 22 March 2008 (UTC) Lars
They are coming out in the US, the Official Playstation Magazine for May (with Mafia II on the cover) has mention of the peripherals coming out tentatively in Fall 08'. I'm just waiting for the PSP HDTV Tuner thats only available in Japan to come out in the US. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DevonTheDude (talk • contribs) 03:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Sony's official policy in reguards to homebrew apps?
Surely Sony must give some kind of reason or justification for this bricking business and so forth. Nintendo has a page like that about emulation. Where's Sony's? --70.252.143.22 (talk) 18:57, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
