I just wanna ask this really quick to everyone out there. I know what it can do. But besides the few of you that actually keep up to date on PSP updates, software, and abilities...

Who thinks they know what the PSP can do, and what it does.

High points, Low points? Anything inbetween?

This is more aimed at the microsoft boys and the nintendo boys/girls.

And hell, even quite a few of the Pro Sony people on here.

What can the PSP do?

EDIT: This is more for me to just see how much the PSP is misunderstood as a machine, as people seem to have false beleifs about the PSP. 

Well, the main functions are that it can play games & UMD movies. However, you can also watch movies by using a Sony Memory Stick and compressing your own movies. Game demos can also be downloaded and placed on a MS.

It can also surf the internet, check RSS feeds, play games available on PSN with connectivity through your PS3, & play mp3s.

You can also homebrew and emulate but those aren't really advertised features of it.

All I can think of off the top of my head. I think all of the extra functions are its high points. The low points is a lack of really worthwhile games, which is generally what a buy a console for, handheld and household.

You nailed it right there. I bought it for a portable video player. I'm working on putting all riddick stuff on the MS now... (Chronicles had a aspect ratio problem on the re-encoding)

However overall the games for it are lackluster, however Q2 is supposed to have lot of games/added support. 

It does so many things, it gets confusing.

Listen to music
Look at photos
Watch video via UMD
Watch video via memory stick
Watch TV and DVDs via Location Free (can be done anywhere if you are connected to internet)
Surf the internet
Use it to as controller and extra screen with the PS3
I think you can play games on it too...not sure.

 EDIT: Most importantly...it's a portable porn viewer!!!

 You are my hero!

I have like 100 megs of porn pictures saved on my memory stick... ROFL

It's basically a 170$ media player... and a damn good one for that price!

Nice. Don't tell your wife.

I fit 3 full porn movies on mine. Such a great machine.  

We imported 2 on release and got rid of both as soon as we discovered it does everything but none of them well.

Nice screen, shame about everything else!

I thought I was the only one hehe...

Your right, I should rip one of my 6hour **** a thon videos to the PSP. That would rock.

The PSP dont do what well? It has changed ALOT since launch. Just a few weeks ago, they totally pimped the video on it. 

i think its nutz that people still think the games arent good for a portable device.

R&C and MGS are 2 of the latest and greatest games on the system. with 2 GTA games that support 2 player. there is a GREAT game for every genre except RPG's right now and FF7 crisis core is bound to fix that. Also god of war will be out this year on the psp. as far as handhelds goes it has BIG games on a small device. none of the other handhelds can say that.

Also remeber it plays ps1 games and all you need is the popsuation(spelled somthing like that) to play any ps1 game on your psp. right now i got FF7 running on my psp.

the hombrew emulators have recently allowed for 64 games to be played on the psp so that another library of games.

Little do people know that the socom games on the psp allow you to use a headset to communicat with your teammates.
