Sony Psp

[fly2002]

Hey guys/gals, quick question ...sorry to use this forum....i just need an answer quick.

Does the Sony PSP make it through x-ray machines ok? I mean I won't fry it or anything? Do i need to take it out of my bag while going through?

thx!!!!!

youll prob. have to take it out of your bad like laptops

but on a side note, isnt it the greatest thing ever? psp that is

I dont know about yours my my Psp is quite large and I have a hard time fitting it through doorways, much less an x-ray machine. Good luck with that.

 

[fly2002]

you all are too funny. Seriously...i haven't travelled with anything electronic before so i'm not sure if anybody had had any experience with flying around with one.

I have had one for a couple of months now, I have never had to take it out. I also have a laptop, that I do, but not the PSP

I have taken mine through many times....no problems and never had to take it out, and its in an aluminum case

You don't have to take out portable DVD players, and I've only had them ask about my PS2 slim once (probably saw the dvd drive and thought it was a laptop). You're not specifically required to take it out, and it looks like a slightly-larger PDA so I wouldn't worry about it. As for the technical aspect, millions of laptops go through security every year, I don't think the PSP should have any problem. Enjoy it, lucky ba$tard (my wife won't let me have one yet...)

Sorry to hijack the thread. Those people that own them, are they pretty good? are they worth the 250 bucks? I have been thinking about purchasing one.

What do you like and what don't you like about it?

 

[FlamingFUPA]

They are worth every penny, a life saver on reserve and on those nice 4 hour sits

 

[wmuflyguy]

is the 32mb card enough?

 

[FlamingFUPA]

depends, what are you using it for primarily? if it is games and movies then it is enough. If you are going to use it for music then no. the big thing to do is spend the 150 bcks on a 1GB mem stick, then you can rip movies from DVD and play them on you PSP. i haven't done it yet, but i have figured out how to get videos converted and put on the memory car.

Thanks i have gotten sick of counting cieling tiles during ready reserve periods....time for a new toy

 

[FlamingFUPA]

you will not be sorry, just don't take it out in PHL, the rampers may beat you up and take it. Along with your shoes and any gold fillings you may have

What good games are available for it?

I am a Madden football junkie so I think I am going to hold out and get it when '06 Madden comes out for it. Are there any good sports games available? Or a Medal of Honor type war games out for it yet? I know I got my PS2 when it first came out and it seemed to take a while before the good games were available.

 

[FlamingFUPA]

Right now I am rocking Tiger Woods on the psp the only other game i own is metal gear acid. they have a ton of games avail, the only downside is that they cost pretty much the same a PS2 games, hard to pick too many of those up on 1st yr FO pay. I think you should see a madden football out for it, if not right now in a few months, me personally I am waiting for the GT4Mobile to come out. the motorsport junkie I am.

How is the battery life?

 

[FlamingFUPA]

Awesome, when i play i leave the volume down and the screen dimmed somewhat as to not wake up the sleeping peeps in teh crew room. Like that, I get up 6 hours at times. It depends on how often the game needs to read the disk really. I varies from game to game. I was able to watch House of Flying Daggers and play two full rounds of Tiger Woods on a particularly long sit in PHL once and still had battery life to spare.

 

[FlamingFUPA]

oh and the headphones are only so-so, the ones that come with my old 1st gen iPod were better. The screen must be seen to be believed though. I bought mine sight unseen and mostly on reputation, I was amazed by this gizmo.

 

[SlapShot]

Thanks for the info.

Do you work on commission? I am sold.

 

[FlamingFUPA]

Yeah you'd think I was a Sony rep. I just believe this thing is the shizznite
