Do we need 2 Homebrew sections ?

If not, would someone knowledgeable merge them and delete the redundant one ? Thanks !

PSP2?

"PSP2" redirects to PlayStation Portable, but within the article, there is no reference to what PSP2 stand for (alternately, no reference as to which PlayStation Portable is known as PSP2). Thus despite trying to look up information on PSP2 here, I cannot tell if it refers to PSP-2000, PSP-GO, or something else entirely. -98.234.223.235 (talk) 07:10, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, it is the name given to the supposed successor to the PSP, so a new hardware and software platform. Compare it to the PlayStation and its successor the PlayStation 2. As yet, there is no PSP2, so I guess somebody just set up a redirect here. Alphathon™ (talk) 08:38, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The original anon here. I finally figured out that my friends were talking about Phantasy Star Portable 2 when they say "PSP2"... Would it make sense to make PSP2 a disambig instead of a redirect? -61.231.8.57 (talk) 16:08, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, probably… at least until the PSP2 is properly announced (there is a little leaked info about it and it's pretty much inevitable). Once it is announced I would think it will become a page on it's own fairly quickly anyway, at which point we would add a "this page is about the Sony handheld console. For other uses see PSP2 (disambiguation)" template to it. I'll probably do it tomorrow. Alphathon™ (talk) 16:22, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update to PSP sales

They now stand at 64 million, rather than 62, as of the Jan 27th PlayStation Meeting http://playstationlifestyle.net/2011/01/27/over-64-million-psps-sold-since-launch/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.95.114 (talk) 03:45, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New research

This article needs to check it's sources when it comes to the memory sticks, memory size, I was checking the internet and I couldn't find a memory card with memory higher than 8 gigabytes for the PSP. Please fix this problem. Thank you. Tj1224 (talk) 20:43, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean "a memory card… for the PSP"? A memory stick is a memory stick - there is no PSP specific format. Of course that doesn't stop people for advertising them as "for PSP" or whatever, just like they advertise HDMI cables as "for PS3", but they are not a specific PSP format. I don't know if there's a hard or soft limit on the storage space accepted by the PSP (although I think the PSP Go has a limit of 16 GB for its memory sticks).

For the psp you have to buy a memory card to save game data, to have music, to have photos, to put movies etc. So when I was reading this article I saw the sizes of the memory cards for the memory cards I saw that the highest size of the memory cards was 120 gigabytes. So I did a little "research" I couldn't find a memory card for the PSP above 8 gigabytes. That's what I mean't. Tj1224 (talk) 00:29, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"couldn't find a memory card for the PSP above 8 gigabytes". As I said, there's no such thing. There isn't a specific format for the PSP - any Memory Stick Pro Duo (1000-3000 models) or Memory Stick Micro (Go model) should do. Some may be marketed as "Memory Stick Pro Duo for PSP" or whatever, but that doesn't mean that those that aren't labelled as such won't work. There are certainly cards available above 8 GB such as this 32 GB one. Alphathon /'æl.f'æ.ðɒn/ (talk) 00:53, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so I think I get what you mean. So what you are saying is that I the memory card isn't "specially" made for the psp. It has other uses? Like you can use it for the PS3? Tj1224 (talk) 01:21, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Mostly Sony-made digital cameras etc - read Memory Stick. Also, try to remember that this is not a forum. Alphathon /'æl.f'æ.ðɒn/ (talk) 01:30, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know this isn't a forum. If read the first disscussion post I made. I thought the research for this article was somewhat wrong. Thank you. Tj1224 (talk) 15:10, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know, the discussion just seemed to be drifting off-topic. Alphathon /'æl.f'æ.ðɒn/ (talk) 15:15, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you for your time. Tj1224 (talk) 15:32, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
