@ UnixSystemsEngineer,

technically that's the Mac OS 8/9 face; the OSX one looks more like Tux, with the highlights, dropshadows, and whatnot. Also, the "Mac OS" font is concurrent up to OSX 10.2 (Jaguar).

I find it funny that Tux has the most updated logo of the three.

This isn't an update... it still looks like (and in all probability feels like) a chintzy PoS. I saw one in Best Buy and felt the urge to vomit.

Know what else is a mystery?
Why people would seriously consider buying this (besides the fact that it's shiny as hell)
Battery life. Wouldn't expect much from that monstrosity.

Have you been living under a rock, Anthony?

It's not just about the piracy of PSP games. I hardly play ANY PSP games anymore. Or PS1 games (even though you can play pretty much ANY PS1 game made). There is so much solid homebrew out there, emulators for pretty much any classic systems (NES, SNES, N64, C64, Atari consoles, TI92/98, MAME, ScummVM, CPS1/2, MSX, and hell, even Mac OS 7/8). Got YouTube videos? Use PSPTube.

If you've got a Phat (like me), you can use infrared and serial keyboards, as well as several GPS units with homebrew apps and plugins, as well as use your PSP as a universal remote. Both the Phat and Slim can stream data over USB/WiFi from your computer with iRShell.

You can change the whole flow of the XMB with a CFW. Reorder the icons, change menu texts, reanimate flipping through XMB menu icons, the whole thing. Not to mention Project 4, which is an XMB replacement built from the ground up by hombrew developers and easily customizable.


If the new PSP had no ability to have CFWs installed on it, people would look for ways to do so. No code is perfect, and until a reliable crack was released, sales wouldn't be anything to write home about. You wouldn't be able to take full advantage of the PSP's hardware.

Dunno, man, but my 60 GB PS3 is absolutely fine on 2.40. Playing The Orange Box right now.

Quickly! Affix it to your genitalia before you lose it!

CraigJ:

It just looks like he's got a case without any internals to it. The home button is missing as well, and the speaker up by the ear has what looks like the back of the case behind it, not a speaker somewhere in there.

Bad Beaver:

If I had a life, I wouldn't.

i can't imagine this going over well with airport security, despite the interesting concept.

i could go for more wmv support.
all of the videos i have that are wmv play perfectly except for the complete lack of audio.

have you tried many XviD videos?

hot pi-- oh. damn.
i was soo close to squealing and making note of this for the later-on internal hard drive mod for my psp.
but alas, it's probably going to be an eternity until it's released. or cheap.
