Having a clean room would be nice as every speck of dust creates a bubble. I got most of them out but I quickly realized that it's impossible to make it perfect. Hopefully I'll be able to work some of the other bubbles out eventually. I'm not sure if it's worth $15 but at least I don't have to worry about scratches or finger prints any more. It actually comes with 2 protectors, one covers the screen and the buttons (pretty much the whole front face) while the other just covers the screen.

The following article is pretty interesting...
http://consoul.blogspot.com/
A blog named Consoul Games tells how the PSP is running at only 50% capacity. While this was already known, the author tells it in great detail. The basic idea behind it is that current games are locked at 222MHz when the full capacity is 333MHz. The reason for this being, apparently, is to promote better battery life. He also has some great entries about the release of the PSP, the games, and some events.

I still wished they would have not used such a high gloss finish on the facing of the psp but at least there are ways to deal with it.
Either the screen protector is hiding it or my dead pixel has gone away. I couldn't find it during the Ridgeracer intro movie last night. I didn't bring up my 'find the dead pixels' jpgs to verify though.

They are street dated for 4/19 according to work, but they have been found at some Wal-Mart, and Target stores (ymmv). The titles that are out (or will be Tuesday) are Resident Evil Apocalypse, XXX, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, House of Flying Daggers, Hellboy, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Kill Bill Vol. 1.

I received Hellboy and Once Upon a Time in Mexico Friday 4/15 from amazon so they are shipping them. Both look great on the PSP although I havent watched them all the way through. Still busy playing Untold Legends which has been a lot of fun so far.

Is this a low-speed version, and if so is Sandisk's high speed? I see no difference in the description...
Also, what's this:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...photo&n=507846
which is a red Sony 1 GB for 150? A higher speed one?

So the consensus seems to be that although the new sticks coming out with the higher price point (and bringing down the prices of the older sticks) enable a much faster transfer speed, the PSP as a device is not capable of utilizing this speed anyway.

How long did it take for your screen protector to arrive? I ordered mine 2 weeks ago and still nothing.
