Sony’s new “Smaller” PSP with Touch-Screen

[youngjoonshi]

I am not a sales person by the way. I love my PSP!

As I said, I just wanted to inform about gadgets.

If you think it's biased or negative, then just don't read it.

Delete it if you want.

Hundreds of ex-GP2X developers is true, they have started to develop new homebrews sinceSeptember, 2005.

A fully working Windows XP means that you can virtually run ALL the emulators and games in the XGP or W10, thanks to their nVidia Goforce graphic chip.

This is not something to make "stupid" choices, the buyers are the kings, if you don't like them you will never have to buy it.

ONLY COMMENT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE GADGETS.

Otherwise, this thread will just be full of criticisms.

PS: For those interested, have a look at my site: www.gadgetkorea.com, we have all the infos you need about those gadgets.

My comments were merely made in response to you making a valuable reporter. I think maybe you have an inside track on the myriad of Korean gadgets hitting the market, but I disagree that you'd make a valuable reporter because many of your views are far removed from mainstream and you're clearly biased. I haven't double checked any of the specs or claims that you posted, but your level of enthusiasm alone makes me skeptical. I don't think anyone's trying to censor you here, I think we all love to hear about handy, new, exciting gadgets regardless of their real market potential, but, I do think you could stand to tone down the rhetoric a few notches.

ONLY COMMENT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE GADGETS.

I agree with you about staying on topic, but honestly pal, this was never a topic about random handheld consoles until you turned it in that direction. Your information has been interesting, yes, but more than just a little out of place. And maybe think twice about posting in succession. It's one thing to carry on a tangent that others have expressed interest in (like Wraggster eventually did), but it's another to completely derail a topic by making posts one after another about a mostly unrelated subject.

If you think it's biased or negative, then just don't read it.

If you want to give us the option to ignore your posts as we see fit, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, make them easier to read! You included many large pictures (many of us outside of Korea where, if I remember right, you have the largest public high speed network in the world, get bogged down by all the pictures) and gads of long <b>bold</b> <font color="red">colorful</font> <u>text formatting</u> that made it very hard to simply skip your posts (and, by the way, along with your rhetoric, all of that promotional like formatting is what makes you come accross as a pushy salesman). And if you hadn't noticed, people continued to make posts relevant to the initial posting even after your first unrelated caveat, and that was A LOT of information to simply ignore in order to get back on track. In the future you may want to just make a quick note about the gadgets that you're promoting, with a few small pictures, and then provide a link for those who are interested to learn more. We REALLY didn't need the whole sales pitch. I'm not really one to speak as I tend to write long-ish posts, but I think it's safe to say that you could stand to edit yourself a bit before posting.

Yep, it was interesting to hear about the various consoles, it was neat to hear about the various things I could get if I had a few hundred spare dollars laying around and a little free time. I'm not trying to be overly critical here, but speaking for myself, these are just a few points for you to consider if you don't want to provoke extranious criticism concerning your postings.

Back to the topic at hand (!_!)

[Cap'n 1time]

Ok, everyone has a point. youngjoonshi I enjoy this info you are giving but please keep it out of the psp section (in other words I am asking you to post it elswhere in the forums.. and i am not just saying that. I ACTUALLY WANT YOU to post it... but not in the psp section.

Lets keep the peace and stay on topic though.

Is this not generally true about electronics? The more cramped the gadget the hotter its going to get?

[youngjoonshi]

Wow, that's somehow too long for me.^^

Don't worry, they are not the actual reports, I have written them within a few minutes.

The true reports can be found in my personal site, we are currently growing very fast and therefore moving host soon...

I have employed true reporters and actually, we get the FASTEST news DIRECT from the news and report gadgets that people have never seen before.

Yep, Of course, I will make them easier to read.

In fact, I just upload a pic and a very short description.

To be honest, there are WAY TOO MANY PSP/PS3...etc. sites out there BUT virtually none for gadgets like these.

Once they are released, we will become the Number 1 site about non-branded gadgets since we talked about them since their very first rumour release.

Well, have a look: www.gadgetkorea.com, but as I said, we will upgrade very soon...^^

it just doesn't have a spark to it, the features are good, but the look of it i just don't see it, i mean with the PSP, everytime i hold i always think this is a wonderful machine wheras i see a picture of the PSi, it just seems like another test thing to me, if u get what i mean.

[shadowprophet]

Thats if thats her real pic, shes a complete babe
she could be talking about the atari 2600, and id still find it interesting

Besides her posts are informitive. leave her be people

[GPeter7]

It’s looks good, but it’s fake...

[Cooe14]

youngjoonshi you spam so much!

things that would convince me to buy
-psp trade in = this thing under 100
-2nd analog!!
-same size as psp (i know the picture is fake but still


-cooe14-
umm if you owned a buisiness and were getting your ass kicked then wouldnt you change game plan

and plus it wouldnt be ripping off because sony will sell it for 70X as much


i guess nintendo ripped off atari

1. I would change-yes, copy-no.
2.Sure it is.
3.The Atari was dead there is a difference.
I would like to see sony make some inovative ideas instead of using others.

[stotheamuel]

Ok i guess first come first serve in the buisness world? If ds is the first to have a touch screen no more can. and imo ripping off would be copying an idea and selling it for less... not more because if they are practicly the same then the cheaper would sell more....

and youngjoonshi i agree you do look like a salesman (woman?) its great information (if true) BUT... this is a psp forum and this is kinda anti psp

here are some examples of your anti-pspness....
-----------------------------------------------
"Have a look at this big info thread I have made, I think it is better than that fake PSi:"

"Yeah, we know the PSP's speakers are very quiet but this one cracks"

"Bargain price...a PSP is way too expensive with over priced UMDs and Memory Sticks!!! (it is actually much more espensive than you think because those Memory sticks and UMDs are actually the source in which Sony gains money...even though it makes losses with every PSP sold!)"


"The most important fact about this one is that it is 100% HOMEBREW FRIENDLY!"
ahhh hitting it where it hurts

"PSP: Old 11b... "

and heres my favorite

"The design is superior than a PSP as shown and replaces the PSP's crap digital cross with the excellent analong stick. + SHOULDER BUTTONS!!!"

I just had to jump in and at least comment on all the "information" being posted about the XGP here. I personally don't find youngjoonshi's comments too compelling for a number of reasons..basically because of comments such as "hundred of ex-gp2x developers developing new homebrew since Sep 2005". First off the gp2x wasn't even out in Sep 2005, so it's kind of hard to have ex-developers...maybe ex-gp32 developers was meant. Secondly specs for the XGP weren't even finalized under March 2006(there were concepts before then, but not the machine matching the specs released in March). Kind of hard to develop for a platform that doesn't even exist. In fact it's not even been officially announced that the XGP will support homebrew code.

Just a few other misc. corrections. In youngjoonshi's comparison post of gp32,gp2x,xgp,and psp screens it was stated they are all samsung screens. The gp2x is definatly not(it is made by a small company called TopSun) and the later gp32 screen were also not. It was also stated games such as Halo, Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, etc would be coming to the platform. Of those only Q3 is open source and has a chance, the others would have to be ported by Epic and Microsoft...folks, that's not happening anytime soon...as for those screenshots...why are they 4:3 screenshots for a widescreen device???

Anyway, just wanted to make people aware that, although not at all necessarily intentional, there is definitely misinformation in those posts. If you want to know the true state of GP2X homebrew, most of the developers hang out at http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php or of course there are the related sections here.

That is all, hope I didn't offend anybody...
