Forums - Sony Discussion - PSP amazingly gets even better!!

That's it, just cut with the bull crap right now! Wow, the PSP is becoming a phone! Wooooohooooo.........this is just pathetic, just as people claiming OMG THE PSP IS GONNA ROCK!!!! The PSP is already a laughing point due to no good games coming out for some time, not to mention the complete lack of SW sales. Just how will all these features encourage people to buy the PSP? It's supposed to be a gaming device, not an iphone.

The fourth point made me laugh......it really did. You mean to tell me that they didn't use the chance to inform if any new games are in developement? With such an ideal event happenning? My dear God, can that mean that there are NO good games in developement as of right now? That none of the companies are doing anything?? These games may yet be announced, but they may happen to get released at the end of 2008 at the earliest. By that time only a select few HC gamers may even remember about those games. And no one knows if these games will turn out to be good.

This is not a showcase of power and brilliance from Sony, it's a showcase of failure and lack of ideas of how to attract gamers. Want proof that something is not right with the PSP in public perception? Check out PSP HW&SW numbers for others for the week ending January 5th, total HW sales for all regions and weekly SW sales, this device is a gaming failure in my book. Why ? It doesn't attract gamers.

Sweet, a giant list of games.

leo-j jsut grow up. Your too much of a fanboy.

wow they added phone functions big deal everyone already has mobiles.
camera hahaha geez these things been around for decades.
GPRS well i guess if you love the PSP so much you must be stupid enough not to know your own way around.


seriously there is nothing great about the PSP. It ain't worth it. It only has ps2 games but on a handheld.


 Seriously, dude, just cut it out. There's nothing wrong with being a fanboy. People have every right to like something. If what that person likes it the psp, that's their thing, and there's nothing you can do about it. the type of trolling your post provides is frowned upon here at vgchartz, so I'd suggest you stop before it's to late. You wouldn't want to be kicked off this site, would you?

I think it's more like being a "fan" is cool, while being a "fanboy" just seems silly, to me anyway. I'm a Nintendo fan, but I definitely won't swallow every piece of garbage they send my way.

So much trolling in this thread, and none of it is justified... Twestern being by far the worst...

the first year i had the psp there were no game worth buying!! thats why i made the statment that i started buying when i felt that there were game that were worth it and not some broken port from the ps2. that first year none of the games i played for free was worth beating also it was a time before they had demo's. I paid my 300 bux for the hardware in early 2006 . and the PSP Does have a great library and will continue to cause is been long proven that if you make a great game and advertize them people will buy psp games. 30 million people aren't hacking the psp. in all honesty at most may 1 million of the base is hacking it. its all the people that have psp's just sitting around in there house collecting dust that is the problem.

your personal attack is unfounded and actually funny to me that you could sit here and get mad over an internet post of someone being totally honest. Trolling the thread from the begining wasn't a good start buddy so just relax. Im also pretty damn sure i spent alot more money on games then you have in 07.

If you look at the chart windbane just provided you will see that i purchased 4 games in 2007 in the psp top 20 rankings. all of which i had downloaded the full game before hand but felt they were well worth paying for.


Yet during that first year you still felt justified stealing games. I don't care how you justified it, it is still wrong and you're the reason why the PSP doesn't have the library it should have.

You can sit there and convince yourself that it was because it didn't have games worth paying for, that you just wanted to test them out first, that you were making backups, or that you aren't the one that enabled the pirating, but the simple truth is that you did pirate the games and you are one of the people that are fucking up the game industry.

And you spent more money than me in games in 2007? What a big man you are.  Well I guess that makes stealing all those other games all right then. Why don't I go rob a liquor store for lets say $1000 and then tell the officer that it's alright because I spent $1500 on liquor in 2007.

First of all, a reply to you previous post: when a new add-on comes out for the ipod, do as many people go on message boards and say it sucks? I'm sure if they don't like it they ignore it more than these new features. If you don't want a GPS or a camera that saves directly to your PSP, then don't get it! It's still great at a lot of things without those add-ons, but it's nice to have options!

The blu-ray rips for PSP use is the greatest announced feature, though, and should put an end to UMD movies.

As for the quoted post: he's saying, like thousands of others have said, that if you use custom firmware it is hard to justify buying games. Still, it's a great media device even without buying games. About the games...there are more games 75 and higher on gamerankings.com than the DS (yes, I know some are ports, similar to PS2 games, etc, etc...the fact is there are a lot of great games on the PSP...in fact, 101 over 75%).

I highlight a few of the recent releases:

 


Wow, a big list of games, congratulations. How well do you think all those games sold? I'm not denying the PSP has some decent games (it's fun to joke it doesn't like people like to joke the Wii is two Gamecubes duct taped together) unless you're a big name like Final Fantasy or the likes, I'm guessing they don't sell too well.

Developers aren't idiots and know that pirating is rampant on the PSP so when given the choice of making a game on a handheld, the PSP doesn't look like the best choice. Would you want to put in 100+ hour weeks into a game just so some little snot can download it for free and take away money from your paycheck? No, of course not.

 



Wow on the trolls here, sheesh hate much?

I don't care what anybody says, these features seem pretty cool to me. I've already had my eye on some PSP games and with all the extra features, it starts to seal the deal for me. Two of my room mate's friends have a PSP and one has it hacked and played NES emulated games and such all the time (which is pretty cool by the way). I'd really want both a PSP and DS, but it's difficult since I'm not a huge handheld person. However, the PSP offering a convergence of many features is really making me want one more and more. Then, the fact that I already have a PS3 furthers the options with streaming and such.



<3 My PSP :D I think the features there adding are incredible ^_^ Hell if anything there just trying to sell it to more "potential" game buyers at this point.

My whole thing with the games, is that I just won't pay $40 for a handheld game. If Sony set the average price to $30, and $20 greatest hits AVERAGE. I would be more than willing to buy more software. I went to go pick up guitaroo man and gamestop had it used for 37! WTF. I simply refuse :P If they really aren't selling any software why don't they just lower the regulated cost?
