hulibecker Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Am seriously considering importing one of these babies. Can anyone tell me, what will be the differences with one i import and one from UK wen released? Once I select english lang on the import, will I be rid of all japanese type font etc? I assume all games etc will be compatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnesia Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 yes, Totally english. Like how the language can be selected on the DS. It's region free, and DVD region free or 0. Only problem is the charger, AND the rumours of a worse screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad move, not to dis Samsung but Sharp makes better panels :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a stepdown or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Review by: Dickie (1) on January 27th, 2005 Excellent service but I got hit with a ?50 customs charge by dhl. BEWARE!! when it was delivered I just signed with no charge, week or two later you get this whopping customs charge through the post..." Is this true? Or is this sum1 jus messin bout? For ?200 I wud order, but ?250 after the customs charge maybe not. They even through in a travel adapter for the power adaptor! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1GB card is quite rare, so I guess we'll have to hang on and wait another week or two. I noticed the price went up ? 5 after I ordered...lucky me.

hulibecker Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Dunno if this bin mentioned, but jus found this!!! "Sony is to make a second attempt to challenge Apple's lead in the digital music download market and the Mac maker's almost-ubiquitous iPod courtesy of the PlayStation Portable. According to a Marketing magazine report, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) plans to launch a music service specifically for the PSP, which is expected to arrive in Europe and the US in March. SCEE will put the delivery mechanism in place in time for the handheld console's launch, using it to allow users to download game levels and software updates. However, the system will be extended to music in the summer. Given the PSP's multimedia focus, it's entirely possible the service could subsequently be used to deliver video downloads."

..... Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Just a warning; don't let your friends use the PSP unless they know what they're doing. Personally I'd say this is a bit of a design flaw on Sony's part, as it's so easy to do. UMD1: Ridge Racers. Gave the UMD and PSP to a friend, he had his finger on the back of the drive when putting it in so it wasn't open fully, and it gave off a horrible scratching sound. Later, when taking Lumines out of my console, my finger was slightly on the back, and the same thing happened; the disc got scratched on the latch, although not nearly as deeply as it was coming out. Thankfully due to the way it's designed, I can't see it scratching the actual disc itself, but it's not a good design at all, and while it doesn't affect the games at all, it doesn't look great. Another thing I hate about UMDs is that clear covering, as it stops you cleaning discs properly; it wouldn't surprise me if, after time, some dust gets in there and starts giving you disc-read errors.

ZZOOzzoo Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 it's just a rumour at the moment, no solid fact. 585380764[/snapback] It is confirmed that Samsung will privide the screen. And as far as I know, it is not because Samsung is cheaper, it was due to a partnership between Sony and Samsung, which also includes patent swapping and factory sharing.
