PSP slim and Lite - My Review

[shri]

@tarey_g, @ashu888ashu888
Thanks guys. I'm having a tough time finding magic gate supported memory sticks. Any online shops that offers it at reasonable price?

 

[ashu888ashu888]

@ shri

buddy, if u live in Mumbai, u can get it in good Computer Stationary shops like the Anupam branches in Andheri West, Goregaon East, Borivili area...

In general: jus ask for Memory Stick Pro Duo (wich is ofcourse from Magic gate company) for Digital cameras...

Hv u searched on ebay.in ? if u live in Mumbai and still not finding it, i purchased it from goregaon east, a 4GB MSPD (Memory Stick pro duo) of magic gate will cost Rs.1600/- with 1 yr warranty, similarly a 1 GB MSPD=Rs.700/-, 2 GB MSPD=Rs.1050/-

^^ Correction , MagicGate is a copy protection tecnology, we dont need it for the PSP but since all MSPD's these days by default come with these so it comes handy to recognize the orignal ones from the fake ones. The fake mem sticks will also have magicGate written over them but they wont support it .
You can get orignal sandisk MSPD from *www.lynx-india.com/ for about 1800/- approx.

4GB one is listed here *www.lynx-india.com/index.php?productID=1152

Personally never got anything from this website, but it seems good.

Yes but there are instances where if ur memory stick isn't Magic gate certified,it leads to hangups while gameplay and some jitters in video playing..Not very sure of it but other users of these fake MS say that.Anyways,In bangalore you can get an orig one from so many places,like from golcha on S.P road and from big stores like chroma and reliance.Better take ur PSP with you,check the MS and then buy it,you can buy a fake one under 800 bucks but with Magic gate support it costs arnd 1800.

 

[girish.g]

nope no problem with a fake memory card. working fine for about 6 months or so.

 

[shri]

Is magic gate supported stick absolutely necessary to install custom firmware?

 

[girish.g]

no idea. as i didn't mod my psp myself. but that guy used some magic memory stick while installing custom firmware

 

[tarey_g]

^^ lol cool covers yaar, from where do u get so many pics of PSP cases ??

its easy to get them out from India but here, its really tough one, maybe if we talk to ninja wala guy maybe (maybe) he can arrange it for us in a bulk order...

 

[shri]

I just now opened up the battery. Its a real pain to open it. Needs a lot of patience. Put everything back after looking at the board. Didn't have the guts to try the track cut method or bridge contacts...

Heya All,
Just got my PSP today. Not from Ninja, but from S.P. Sales, a shop just ahead of Ninja and around the bend on the same side. He gave me a nice deal. The Ninja guy maybe charges all a non-negotiable cost maybe cause he has got a clue his name is being used someplace to buy PSP's U can get a PSP at least 300 bucks cheaper here.
The 4 gb original sandisk memory card cost me 1700 and 200 for the crystal case.
He charges 100 per game. I got 2 of them, Brian Lara Cricket and Metal Gear Solid 2. Until I get more games
I forgot to take the USB cable, so have not tried the music or videos
But the gaming experience till now is awesome...I can only imagine how will it be when I get better games...I have yet to buy a decent set of ear phones....getting confused which one to buy...can anyone advise on the best?
Until next time....happy gaming...

And a special thanks to Ashu, who has been my guide throughout making this decision.. Thanks pal.. Happy gaming all..

Off Topic:

Hey guys, I see that many of you already had a PS2... I intend to get one solely for playing God of War 1 and 2. Will it be feasible to get one from US ($129.99) and mod it OR get one from India local (I guess modded ones are available freely)? Can any of you please let me know what is the current price of a modded PS2 in kolkata and from where (which shop/store esp. in Chandni Chowk) can I buy it? Also, is it feasible/possible to hook up the PS2 to PC via TV Tuner card and use my home CRT 17" monitor as its display ???? I have minimal knowledge pertaining to consoles. PSP is my official first console and I am simply blown away by GOW: chains of olympus (playing it the 5th time right now and simply can't stop).. and wanna eagerly experience the rest of GOW series..... Thanks in advance..

 

[ashu888ashu888]

well, dont knw abt the availability of modded PS2's

but original PS2 cost Rs.6990/- official....and its better to buy it from India...

 

[BBThumbHealer]

Well i m loving my new PSP .. Its just an awesome gadget ... Gr8 sound quality , giant display ! well havem't tried my hands on gaming yet coz i haven't modded it !

But , i m too looking for the covers for it .. both crystal and hard cover ! BTW guys , whats the battery backup of ur PSP's on full on music and videos ?

Are there any softwares available for the OFW ? And , which app shud i use to get a movie with smallest size and gr8 quality to transfer to device !

 

[rockthegod]

Thanks much ashu888...

 

[ashu888ashu888]

^^
not a problem mate;; : )
--------------------

to BB:

buddy, u can google for PSP VIDEO CONVERTER and it will convert ur videos from PC to ur PSP compatible format,... with gr8 quality too.. so be rest assured.. as for the crystal case, it better to buy that as the PSP is much more safe.. u'll get it for Rs.200/-
