PSP is da best!

PSP (Play Station Portable) is a handheld gaming device which can also do pretty much all the other gimmicks Iphone-wannabe-handheld-devices boast about. PSP can game (of cors) with a powerful hardware behind it and a game database of over 800 titles. I bought it from my online friend Gagan on Gamespot.

I hacked my PSP to free it from DRM crap thanks to Suhail who also has a PSP. Games officially come in UMD for this device. But a modded PSP can run games stored in its Memory stick.

Let me show you some screenshots I took on my PSP and some pictures. This is God of War - Chains of Olympus demo, new game to be released for PSP... pretty awesome.

Racing games are fun with the analog stick. Since NFSps sucked on PC, I am gonna play it on PSP. This is Burnout Legends:

Fps games are good too, I finished COD on psp, this is Medal of Honors Heroes 2:

This is Patapon, a rythm game, its hella fun (This image is not forged)

Loco Roco is Physics based game... fantastic!

Being a powerful system, PSP can emulate NES, SNES, Sega Gen, GBA etc. and some old games (Eg. Doom) are ported to PSP as well:

And yeah, it can play MP3s as well (shocking!), with killer visualizations. It can play Videos as well.

Did I tell you, PSP has wireless capability as well, so you can browse on it too.

Also people with PSPs can wirelessly play multiplayer games. Suhail and me play Co-op games sometimes :D. Not to mention, recently Skype was released for PSP, so it pretty much becomes a VOIP kinda phone too. It's a little big but small enough to fit in my pocket. Battery life is 4Hrs for continous gaming, else its more... havnt noticed much, I just recharge it once a day. PSP has a big community, so community software are always there to enjoy.

Oh! and other than that, CVIT got another Graphics Card: NV Quadro FX 3700, this is an equivalent of a 8800GT

  9. @smr: :) yeah man, and the card looks sleeek!

    @suhail: v gotta get more co - op games!

    @Vivek: Well, if u closely see the iphone comment, I said 'iphone-wannabe-devices' which says all devices which mimmick iphone... this never means i down looked the iphone.

    But since u started it, I feel that way now, (seems apple does something 2 its customers) so....

    haaaah! How many games come for ur Iphone dude? I will choose psp ne day over iphone and other devices like Rao's... umm... phone (wats that called again?)

  10. Rao has an HTC Touch I suppose.
    I am waiting for iPhone SDK to be released, I will be flooded by iphone apps and games then (including Doom which is made playable on it somehow :) )
    And for a hardcore gamer like you nothing could beat PSP (since you claim to slip it in your pocket too :D)

  11. hehe, Rao's phone sux, rofl

    yeah man, once the community grows, u will get good apps for the iphone... Games? I don't think so. You will get breakout and tetris kind of games but not big franchise games. But anyway that shudnt matter 2 u :)

    I feared about its size in the beginning, but later when i got it, i wondered y its size is considered an issue. may b others just wanted something 2 say against it :)
