actual PSP preorders for the us system now at vg+

Well FINALLY!!!!

I HAVE MY PSP!!!!

Its awesome. Problems are it has a hairline scratch when it came (practically non-visible) and let me say Dead Pixels are way hyped up. I have 2 in the top right corner. They are only visible on a black screen. You can Barely even notice them! If you had heaps, you could, but like this, no problems!

Also, how do I connect my PSP to my PC? Everytime I put a USB cable in it does not notice my PSP? Help?

[Rossco]

You need to go to the far left option on the menu and the 2nd option from the top "USB Connection"

Then it'll pop up!

Glad you got it eventually!

Enjoy.

I'm about to play Lumines for the first time in a minute.

[Tankshell]

Glad it eventually turned up mate! At least they got the right address unlike when they tried to deliver mine!

I've got 3 dead pixels now, 1 red one in the top right corner which you can clearly see on dark backgrounds and 2 very, very feint light grey ones in the middle of the screen...but you really have to strain your eyes to pick them out on any colour background.

I don't want any more mind.

[Valken]

How long did you play before you got these? I've got none that I can see but I'm not fussed checking with R, G, and B images tbh...

[Concept]

The dead pixel issue is seriously overblown in some cases. I've got two grey ones, but unless my face is pressed against the screen, they aren't noticeable.

Small and almost non-existent would be a better description in most cases I'd imagine.

[Valken]

tbh, unless I can REALLY see them in game I don't give a ****. I just need to steer clear of threads like this to stop making me paranoid :P

[Cuber001]

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it! I also get Lumines tomorrow which I can't wait to play!

Yes Dead Pixels are blown RIGHT out of proportion. Mine are only 2 and you can't even see them. When I showed people they couldn't see them, and when they did, they were like "That's all"??

Thanks Rossco, I now have 5 songs on my PSP and RR save with 4 MB left. Also, this is amazing, really. Although playing through the speakers is not as good as the DS. However through Headphones is AMAZING!!! IMHO the PSP IS better than the DS by a long way. Sexy, stylish sophisticated. A work of Art. And It doesn't really get that bad when you play it, like ppl said with the fingerprints. It holds up. I just wouldn't carry it around out of the box

1 more question. Is the cloth that was in the bag with the Memory Card to clean the screen?

Thanks guys!

EDIT: Also how do I put it in sleep while playing music to save battery time?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Press and hold the screen button will turn off the display, putting it in sleep mode will stop the music altogether....

day 12 and its still at canada

hurrah for DHL - its definately been stolen

[RobN]

I ordered a Sony PSP from NCSX and it shipped on Friday and left the States Yesturday 8)

I also ordered a PSP from NCSX last Thurs, shipped same day, (9pm Thurs in the States, early fri morn in UK time). Got it this morning with no tax, duty or handling fee to pay. I asked them to mark it down as a gift of $50, but they had a better idea and marked it down as a $50 'warranty repair'. Clever. You should get yours soon mate. Also a bonus is that my psp's screen is perfect with no dead spots.

[buster_broon]

How soon before they send another?

dont know - Sidney is being a bit cagey about the whole thing

2 other parcels have been declared lost (mk: deception & starfox) which he hasnt resent due to the PSP launch

[Moonwalker]

I'm probably being really stupid here, but how do you get the DHL Tracking to work, got an email to say my PSP + RR has been shipped but neither of the tracking number of waybill(?) seem to work, any ideas?

[davidcotton]

If you check back in the thread, you'll see that it takes a while for the number to work.
