You can get mem cards here for cheaper than most places..
108 for a 1 gig pro duo.. www.onsale.com just type it in.. 1 gig memory stick pro duo..
and I like having tv series I encoded in 20 minutes and can watch while at work.. kicks ass! The new battlestar galactica... The new shield.. and Venture bros reruns.. Great system!
I do want to know how the metal gear acid plays though.. It is card based?

The best way to describe MGA is Metal Gear Tactics. The card system dictates your available actions based on what you draw. It took me like an hour or so to get used to but I LOVE it now. Wipeout Pure is tha s*** too.

Yea, mine has a few dead but i paid 25 bucks for the "if anything goes wrong" policy. Anyway, i wanna get wipeout pure just for the internet screen, although i hear they are comming out with a mod for it anyway. MGS: A looks pretty sweet and i want to pick it up later today. Im going to San Diego tomorrow so i got a good 6-8 hrs to play a game, and ridge racer was mostly purchased for multi.

Also to post about the battery, I think it is amazing. It uses a Lion and it gets great run time, especially for the punch that it packs.

I got 2 dead pixels...they all got some, I have seen 3 and all ave 1 or 2...the thing is, they are BARELY noticable. You can only tell they are dead during a black screen during loading. When the screen has graphics on it, the dead pixel is completely unnoticable...I have stared at the same spot from black screen to color, and I swear the s*** just gets filled in by surrounding pixels. I got the warranty, so when I replace my PSP at 11 months, hopefully they will have worked out the pixel issue, but if not I wouldn't care that much. I'll try to post pics and screen shots...I love Metal Gear Acid!!!(first)

i guess i shouldn't feel so bad. i only have 1. i've read that a few people had as many as 15 dead pixels *ouch*. i purchased my "insurance plan" from toysrus, but i think it's through a different company or something. the girls behind the return counter told me that if anything happens i just call this company up and i can either, a) get a new one or b) get my money back.
are there any stores that offer warranties where you just go directly back to that store? well, it probably doesn't matter. i don't think i'd be able to get my money back anyway.

where did you guys pick up your psp's (with warranty) from, and how do their warranties work? just wondering...

korea go their release with the browser software.. and 3 months freewifi connection through a company from there.. I just read it on ign.com
So the software can be upgraded for ours easily.. but you will still need to leech or buy a connection.

My wife won mine, but they gave her the receipt from kmart where they got it from. If it had more than the one.. like 5-10 I would have taken it back and seen if they would exchange it. Sony officially have stated that dead pixels are normal.. and that you should allow 2 weeksof usage time to see if the pixels go away. If not then you may contact the vendor to see if you may exchange.. of ship it at your cost to sony fr them to repair it. Sucks I know.

So whats the deal with this internet patch? You get software but you have to pay to use it? WTF? Cant you just use any wireless internet connection that is open?
