message: unreal Hi. I edited the page a bit, you have written a very good article. I changed the pricing details, as a strong source has revealed it wil cost $200 on release, but may rise to not more than $250, however, not as low as $150 as was stated in the original version of the article (The DS will cost $150). The release date is also set to be March 2005, so I added that. I also added a PSP forum at psp-forum.com, which contains all the latest PSP news as it comes.
SockatumeReally scary news regarding that- Gamespot had a news page up (briefly) which claimed it had a confirmed price of $350. It's taken down now which hopefully means it was totally inaccurate and definately won't be the real price at all. I hope. :/
:AP article in the Sunday newspaper 9-26 - Ken Kutaragi (chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment) refused to give a price for the PSP saying he wants to first gauge reaction at the Tokyo Game Show. ... Kazuya Yamamoto, analyst with UFJ Tsubasa Securities Co in Tokyo added that retailers expect a price of about 30,000 yen ($271), which may be a trifle steep. Petersam 04:00, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Price 

message: Armaced Sep 14, 2004: I was wondering about the statement "PSPs screen is larger than both DS's combined".  I did some checking, but am not confident enough in my numbers yet to correct the article.  My understanding is that the PSP will have one 16x9 screen that measures 4.3 inches diagonally, while the Nintendo DS will have two 4x3 screens that each measure 3 inches diagonally.  Brushing off my old geometry, I get the Sony screen coming in at 7.9 square inches, and the Nintendo screens weighing in at 4.32 square inches each, for a total of 8.64 square inches - bigger than the Sony PSP.
More details - Nintendo Screens are each 2.4 inches wide and 1.8 inches tall.  Sony's screen is about 3.74777481 inches wide by 2.10812333 inches tall.
Can anyone find a fault in my math, or should we remove that statement?
Moot point, I removed all DS-related stuff anyway.

message: I sat and figured this out for a forum, and decided I've put in too much effort not to repost it somewhere, so...
It'd be naive to assume that the movie battery life reflects the "absolute minimum" we can expect for the PSP's battery life; to do so would assume the disk was being accessed constantly during the test. That's not necessarily the case:
Right, I've sat down and calculated it, and if Sony were running a single-layer UMD movie there, the disk was accessing around 9% of the play time.
If it was a dual-layer movie UMD, the disk was being accessed around 18% of the play time.
Both of these assume that the full 32MB of memory was being used to cache movie data, that it was loading a full 32MB every time the cache emptied (i.e. the disk was only running each time the cache emptied), and that the UMD was transferring at the full quoted 11Mbps rate. Also, I assumed that it was a 120-minute movie.
Now, if the UMD drive was running less than the optimal level, they would've been accessing the disk for longer.
If, on the other hand, they were using a more than 2 hour movie UMD, then they would've been accessing the disk less often.
I say this as it should give some sort of indication as to how much disk access the PSP can get away with while still meeting the 4 hour minimum battery life estimate.
My working and extra factioids:
900MB/32MB = ~29
A 900MB single-layer UMD, being cached into 32MB segments, would require ~29 segments.
120 min/29 = ~4 min
The drive is being accessed to copy 32MB every four minutes.
32MB/4 min = 8MB/min; 8MB of data is being transferred every minute, on average.
11Mbs^-1/8 Bb^-1 = 1.375MBs^-1
That's the drive access rate converted to MB.
8MB/1.375MBs^-1 = 5.82s
That is, it takes 5.28s to transfer that 8MB.
5.82s x 100%/60s = 8.8%
That is, that 5.82s accounts for 8.8% of the play time each minute, on average.
To get the figures for a 1.8GB (1800MB) dual-layered UMD, just double the starting memory value; this comes out at around 18%.

:Possibly bad news for Sony, although the caddies and the unusual "centre" bits for the disks will go some way to slowing piracy.

message: I took the hatchet to some of the speculation and predicted homebrew stuff. Please, please, this is not the place for baseless speculation about future features.
Likewise, if Sony doesn't confirm some of these odder speculation bits at this year's E3, I'm going at least confine the speculation to its own section, if not eliminate it. In particular I'm thinking of the Sony Connect downloadable music speculation and the leaked firmware speculation.
Does anyone have any objections to this?
A Man In Black 04:28, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No objections here. The Sony Connect stuff isn't exactly speculation, as Sony have properly announced that PSP stuff's on the way (game demos, etc. etc.). Leaked firmware's no longer notable IMO simply because it included things like a spreadsheet which throw doubt on all the other "features" is listed. The hacking stuff was too general for the article, but maybe a generalised version of it could be made into an "Amateur games console development" article? Sockatume 15:28, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: It's definitely Playstation Portable, shortened to PSP: http://www.us.playstation.com/psp.aspx has it as PSP (PlayStation Portable)
I'm convinced that PSP is the official name. For example, the words "PlayStation Portable" are not mentioned even once on the box the handheld comes in, in the official manual, nor on the boxes and manuals for the software sold for it as far as I have seen. In fact, that link to the US PlayStation website is the only official place I've seen it referred to as such, but notice it is the one in parenthesis there and not vice versa. In this sense, it cannot be compared to the abbreviation or acronym uses of any of the previous PlayStation products. Nevertheless, I don't much care whether the article is moved since it seems fine here, but I just thought I'd let this be known anyway. --Kamasutra 19:35, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
For what its worth, the words "PlayStation Portable" are on the boxes being displayed in stores in Ireland from today (albeit in rather small size!), and presumably thus also in the UK. This might be just a European thing though. "PlayStation Portable" now also appears at yourpsp.com . --Rdd 16:38, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think that's an official change. The store would have had the stock arrive ahead of time and so they either overlooked or just plain ignored the "don't sell until this date" stickers that were no doubt used to seal the boxes. Many stores do that now and then, and some particular stores do it quite frequently. Most of the time they don't get caught doing it, except in the case of those early Harry Potter copies. :) GarrettTalk 14:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Questions 

message: I put up a cleanup tag for the Sales and Competition section of this article. Many of the statements I found confusing, and some of the statements have a tendency to jump to conclusions. Some examples:
*Nintendo's DS has a younger target audience as demonstrated by its hands on interface also the games for the DS are more child friendly.
*While the PSP is for an older audience due to its MP3, internet and movie features.
*Also, its games involve more complex situations (GTA: Liberty City Stories is a R-rated game).
In general it feels out of place in a reasonably well written article. --Codemonkey 01:21, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I was looking at what could be considered the "About" dialog on the PSP and noticed a familiar name that was metioned in the credits for the PSP's interface.

The PSP's main microprocessor is a multifunction device named "Allegrex" that includes a 32-bit MIPS32 R4k-based CPU (Little Endian), a Floating Point Unit, and a Vector Floating Point Unit. Additionally, there is a processor block known as "Media Engine" that contains another 32-bit MIPS32 R4k-base CPU, hardware for multimedia decoding (such as H.264), and a programmable DSP dubbed "Virtual Mobile Engine". The secondary CPU present in the Media Engine is functionally equivalent to the primary CPU save for a lack of a VPU
http://www.psp-programming.com/tutorials/c/lesson05-2.htm
So now that we have it all set up, we get to the meat of the program, the main() function.
int main(void) {
          scePowerSetClockFrequency(333, 333, 166);
This is the line that sets the clock frequency (as should be evident from the function name). You may be wondering why there are three parameters, though. I mean, there's only one processor, right? Wrong. The PSP actually has three processors. The first sets the CPU (the main processor); this is what most of your programs will be running on. The second parameter is the Media Engine. Last I checked, you could only run MIPS Assembly code on this processor. The Media Engine also runs at 333 MHz. The third parameter controls the Graphics Core. This is what people mean when they talk about using the "GPU." The GPU runs at 166 MHz.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.17.82 (talk) 07:52, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

message: "and the speakers have been moved from the face of the unit to the bottom, to combat users hands from blocking the speaker of the old model." this is wrong, on the slim and lite the speakers have been moved from the bottom to the face, the top of the face to be exact  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.97.202.197 (talk) 02:15, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Version 

message: Currently the section "Multimedia playback" states: "As of firmware update version 3.30, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Main Profile video files of the following sizes can be played: 720×480, 352×480, and 480×272." Now, maybe I've greatly screwed something up, but a) I've tried encoding in every one of those resolutions and the PSP will not read the file despite having the most current firmware, and b) every other piece of information I find on the internet states that there is a resolution cap of 76800 pixels. 368x208 has never failed for me. And the picture on the right which claims to be at full resolution doesn't prove anything.

message: I believe that the explosion from the 12 year old's battery was because he was using a third party battery, which are unsupported by Sony. Third party batteries are highly unrecommended and explosions have actually happened several times due to them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.70.167 (talk) 18:24, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Surely Sony must give some kind of reason or justification for this bricking business and so forth. Nintendo has a page like that about emulation. Where's Sony's? --70.252.143.22 (talk) 18:57, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean that bit on how PS3 games can be played via remote on the PSP? Or how you can download PSX Games to be stored in the PSP via the PS3 as well? The PSP has PSX Emulation according to such information. But I guess that's not official because SCEA's website doesn't have that info. If you mean all those cutom firmwares, then there's your reason. Sony doesn't like custom firmwares =/ (You also need a fat PSP to apply to, then transfer the data to a slim one anyway, now that's what I call roundabout.) 66.168.19.135 (talk) 03:11, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I believe the main article mentions this.  They don't like custom firmware because it allows for emulation and piracy of games.  You can download certain PSX games now through the Playstation Store to play on PSP, though I'm not sure if it is through emulation or whether the games have been ported.  65.185.191.27 (talk) 04:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
