Any idea when Sony will update the security for the PSP? I'm using WPA2 and I CANNOT connect my PSP to my network....horrible.

ok, but where would i find one? Only one i can find is the 1200 for the PSP 2000.

Wow, I didn't realize that the original PSP batteries aren't manufactured anymore. Googling around found a seller gamestar777 that appears to be selling Sony 2200 Mah batteries for $30, but I can't vouge whether they are legit. Link for PSP1000 battery

FF: Crisis Core dropped in price at least at TRU. It is now $29. Pretty damn fun game so far but I only put about $30 minutes into it which mostly were movies but I like that sort of thing. Anyway the combat is unlike any FF to date but is extremely fun. It kind of mixes the active ap system think FF X2 with real time combat like I don't know god of war. It is a odd mix but works really well.

I don't really get the DMW thing at all though. Every now and then a slot machine pops up and gives you level points or does some kind of special move. I'm not sure if this is random or if I am causing it. The slot machine has people's faces but they don't appear to be in your party. I don't even think the game has parties. Yeah it is odd. I'm going to have to hit gamefaq to figure this thing out. Still fun though even if I don't understand it.

Oh yeah this game looks great also.

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned here yet. Glad I didn't get a PSP-3000.

There has since been an update on the situation. SCEJ responded saying it's related to hardware.

Well, it seems my PSP-1000 will stay with me for a long time. Maybe when they release the PSP-4000 or the PSP2 I'd upgrade.

Oh I'm one of the weird guys that hasn't hacked their PSP-1000.

I'm sticking with my hacked 2000 unless they fix the screen issues on the 3000 and Dark Alex is able to work his magic on it.

I held off getting a PSP, so I could get a 3000. Now I am not sure which older model to get, since I obviously don't want a 3000 now. Costco has the Daxter, do I go with that? OR Do I search for a God of War one? OR the Blue NFL one?

I think that depends on which game looks more appealing to you. I got a 4 GB card after my purchase, so the included memory stick was of little value to me. I would personally go with the GOW.

So the 3 systems I mentioned are all the same, except for the color? The GoW would probably be my choice if I can find one. Daxter I saw the other day at Costco, but thats $217 wish some extra stuff I probably don't need. best Buy has the NFL one for $179.99. Would that be a good choice if I want to hack it?

thanks for the response orangecrush18

So it can make an MS duo out of two micro SD cards? That's pretty nifty.

32 Gig compatible with (2) 16 Gig SDHC cards. Very Nice.

So are the problems with the 3000 real or not? I've heard of a 3001 model does it have the same problems? Will a new model be out before Christmas? I want to buy one for my son for Christmas, so I can wait... Or should I just buy the 2000 model.

It was confirmed by sony. Why would they lie about their own product. I haven't heard anything about a 3001 and can't imagine it would be out anytime soon.

I just did a search for 3001. It looks like it was submitted to the FCC before the screen problem was out. I think it actually uses the same screen.

This link talks about the problems.

Yikes - I'm surprised that got by Sony - they're usually great on hardware, it's software that's usually a problem for them.

Does Crisis Core end after you finished the game? I just want to know if I should do the optional missions before finishing the game. I rather finished the game and do the missions later but if that isn't possible I'll clean them off first.

I'm pretty sure it finishes but you get a New Game+ option which lets you keep most of your stuff.

so, has anyone tried firmware 5.01 ?

I really like it. It's like having your PS3 in your PSP. :D
You can download everything, videos, pictures, themes, and of course, games directly to your PSP. That's a huge step in the right direction for the PSP.

Okay, I just got a PSP-2000 in a trade for a broken iPhone.

I need to know what exclusive PSP games are a must have.

Crisis Core, Both Syphon Filters, Star Wars Renegade Squadron, Killzone is fun as well.

How does Killzone fit into the timeline of the console versions?

Since I finally got wireless hooked up, I had a chance to blow off the dust of my PSP and connect it to my network. I was impressed with the PSN store and downloaded Wild Arms (PSone) for 5 bucks...I love that game and love the fact it had a built in instruction manual.

And here we go....

With 2008 on its merry way out, "publishing sources" have leaked news of a PlayStation Portable update next year to Eurogamer. The PSP 4000, a final refresh model, will appear in late 2009, say these sources, followed by an official successor to the PSP at a later point. Make that 2011 or 2012, then, to speculate logically (and perhaps to coincide with the rumored release timeframe of Sony's PS4?).
