canadian psp go?

hey guys,I'm pretty sure I'm going to take the plunge and get a psp go, which in the uk is about ?10-250. Hmmm.
But I'm going over to canada next week were it's $250 which is about ?50. So seems a good deal, but will I still be able to download content from psn? And get full use from a canadian model?

Anyone know?canadian psp go?
Short answer is Yes.canadian psp go?
thanks :)
The only issue will be charging it. Canadian electrical outlets are different from British ones. You'll need an adaptor.

Crimson Gem Saga owners

I was just wondering who has this epic game as it is incredibly rare. I am also wondering how they got it.Thanks and have a wonderfull day as I continue my quest for trying to find this amazing gameCrimson Gem Saga owners
Amazon has this for $29 free shipping. I wanted to get this game before until I read something about the *spoiler ending that was hangingCrimson Gem Saga owners
Gorgeous artwork ingame and anime scenes, very much like most turn based rpgs.
You know that the game is available on the PSN, right?
I had it and sold it because it is terrible.
[QUOTE=''xaos'']You know that the game is available on the PSN, right?[/QUOTE]

I was about to post that.

Anyway, the game was so-so imo; gameplay was pretty dull, didn't really find the story interesting, and the dialog was terrible. Graphics were ok, classic RPG art style. Overall, I was pretty disappointed in the game, didn't even finish it (although from what I've read on the board, the final boss battle is extremely difficult/tedious and ends on a major cliff hanger, if that motivates you to get it).
i DLed it off of PSN and was happy i did. there is nothing new about the game really but i am glad this is classic JRPG game play with very nice visuals and sound. i do however find it funny how much Spinnel's....uh hum....shake so vigorously during the battle scenes.

Sudden battery problem... Help?

So I bought a PSP 3000 about 5 or 6 months ago... it's never given me any problems, and also hasn't seen a huge amount of use (and definetly NO abuse or rough handling)... I last played it back in December (at which point my girlfriend bought me a PS3 for Christmas), and I havn't used it again until now...So I pull it out of it's case, go to turn it on, and it won't turn on... I assume I must have killed the battery last time I played it, so I plugged it in and just out of my own curiousity, went into the battery info to see if it had any charge... at this point I realized there's 0% charge, and I say tom myself ''well that's odd... it should atleast say like 1% since I plugged it in...''.. Either way, i waited about 20 minutes and came back to it, and checked again... It STILL said 0%... So at this point I figured it must just not know what it's talking about, and unplugged the charger, only to have the PSP instantly turn off...At this point I'm getting a little frustrated, and tried taking th battery out and putting it back in, but to no positve results... so today I went out and picked up a new battery for it, I returned home, and tried it in the PSP... and once again, it will nto turn on, nor will it charge when it's plugged in...Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone has run into this issue before and knows a way around it or what, or if the system is just faulty... Although I can't really see how the system could all of a sudden just stop working with a battery... And like I said, it has never gievn me a problem before, and has never seen any rough handling..Sudden battery problem... Help?
If you bought the psp 5 or 6 months ago then you should call Sony. It's definitely still under warrenty.Sudden battery problem... Help?
Is your battery lose at all? I got a psp last week for my b-day and it would die if you set it down because the battery was lose, I fixed it by shoveing a small peice of paper next to the battery.

How to put pics and view them on the psp ...

How do you put pics and view them on the psp?I have a PICTURE folder already.I got the latest firmware.It is in jpeg format (I tried to rename it to .jpg and it still doesn't work).I did try to make a PHOTO folder inside the PSP folder and it still doesn't work.I also tried to google for some tips but all failed.It says ''unsupported data'' but it's in jpeg format already.Also can you give me a sample pic to test it out. I tried some pics on google image and it won't work.Thanks in advance.Edit: I got a bad feeling that I have a fake memory stick. I got it on ebay sealed though, but when I check the memory card, it says magic gate: unknown.How to put pics and view them on the psp ...
Hmm, try formatting the whole card. And can you put other things on it, like mp3s?How to put pics and view them on the psp ...
That's really weird, probably do what the post above me says.
What are the dimensions of your images? Super high res (like a couple thousand pixels along one dimension) won't display on the PSP
I formatted it 3 times already. I used the smallest pic on google image too. And it still says that.



I also downloaded mgs pw but everytime I transfer it on my psp and run it, it says corrupted file. Everytime.



Guys does your memory stick says MAGIC GATE = supported (or unknown)?

Thanks so far for the replies.

Thanks so far for the replies.[/QUOTE]Yeah, mine says MagicGate. Try using MediaGo instead of just moving them to the folder.Also, who made the Memory Stick? Was it Sony or SanDisk?
It was sony. I used media go and it's still the same with pictures and demos. It says unsupported data or corrupt file.



This is the item no. on ebay 110486650700.



So yours says MagicGate = supported?

  • I'm confused PSP Go or PSP 3000

    hi guys i want a psp so bad so should i wait till october or just buy me a psp 3000 in another way does the PSP go worth the waiting or notI'm confused PSP Go or PSP 3000
    I think it hinges entirely on whether you are happy for ''download only'' games on the PSP Go or whether you would rather buy UMD's. To me I'm not convinced about entirely digital games - if my PSP breaks now I still have all the UMD's and my memory stick with game saves and I can just put them in a new PSP. With the Go that won't be an option. Unless Sony allow the downloading of games from the Go to a PC/external memory stick for back up purposes, but I can see that causing all sorts of ''copying'' issues so bet they don't!!I'm confused PSP Go or PSP 3000
    Go comes with 16gigs of memory--that's all the advantage it holds, imho. Smaller screen--ick. Not to mention the 3000 (not the newer bundled ones) now has access to all ''grey'' (and black, lol) area features which can't be elaborated here. If you're willing to buy a decent capacity memory card there is no reason to wait imho. Especially if you're really impatient for it.
    I really don't see anything in the psp go that makes it worth $80 more than the 3000, and w/ dell selling the 2000 for $120 I can't understand why anybody who doesn't have a psp would ever choose the Go.W/ the 3000 you'd have the choice to buy umd's, or buy from the PSN store. If you buy the go you'll be stuck w/ the store. Also keep this in mind that games on the PSN store will rarely go on sale, or clearance so if you buy your games on sale (or even used) that you're out of luck w/ the psp go.
    Get a 3000.



    A.) Best looking handheld out there, PSP Go is hideous.

    B.) You can choose how big a memory card you want to get -- meaning you get the best of both worlds. Download whatever, and still buy UMDs.



    Honestly the PSP Go has nothing going for it AND it's hella more expensive.
    PSP 3000 is the better choice.
    i say get both! use the 3000 till the psp go comes out then you can just trade the psp 3000 in for a psp go everyone wins!
    [QUOTE=''eo_the_shaman'']i say get both! use the 3000 till the psp go comes out then you can just trade the psp 3000 in for a psp go everyone wins![/QUOTE]

    No... I think Gamestop (or wherever) wins.
    if you already have a PSP the GO is a waste of money... get a 3000, much better than the PSP GO
    Get a 3000 ($170), buy a 16GB memory stick (~$65 or $25 for 8 GB)) and you have the same functionality as the GO for $15 less.



    Minuses- slightly larger

    Pluses- plays UMD's, cheaper, bigger screen, you can trade in old games, you don't have to wait

    do some research yourself, read the big 9 page+ official psp GO thread that is there in this forum, and decide for yourself. it's your money. even buying decisions need to be spoon fed these days...
    Hello,I had the same question whether to get 3000 or Go and I think I'm going to get 3000 because the smaller size of Go isn't that important for me. Also, as long as I can get 8G or 16G memory stick for 3000 and assuming I can download games using 3000, 3000 seems fine with me too. However, I do have some consideration whether Go's quality, in terms of processor speed, screen quality etc, will be better. Any thoughts? thanks

Any thoughts? thanks[/QUOTE]as far as i know, the processor speed is the same ( 333Mhz if im correct ), the screen quality i think is better, but not that much ( as far as articles that i have readed around the web ) and it is 1/2 inch smaller...battery life will be the same as previous models. And the control layout seems uncomfortable in the Go!...at least for me ahahha :P
    i decided to forego the go lol i sold my psp 2001 to my cousin so im just waiting till august gametop is releasing a mystic silver psp with Dissidia, Final Fantasy along with a 2 gig mem stick and copy of advent children. I think its a good bundle and if i want the download only games ill geta bigger memory stick though im not sure how big a memory stick the 3000 vcan hold but a 32 gig would cost less than the go and give me more memory. I love the psp but the go is just not an option with all the new ps3 games coming out and i think it'll feel awkward to hold since its so small plus the first wave of psps always have technical issues so if i do eventually get one (after a hefty price drop) itll be after they've released 4 or 5 production cycles worth of them

    [QUOTE=''Ipik_Fenris'']the screen quality i think is better, but not that much[/QUOTE] I don't think much is known about the relative screen quality at this point. Since they aren't really pushing it as one of the upgrades I don't think there will be much difference. (it will obviously look a bit sharper because it is smaller... a trade-off that might have been positive if PSP's native resolution was a lot smaller)
    The screen resolution of the PSP Go is supposed to be the same as the 3000. The only difference is that the Go has a smaller screen since they made the whole handheld smaller.



    I'd say get the 3000. Just look at this math:

    Go: 250$ (by itself with only the main accessories: ac charger + usb cable. That's supposed to be the unbundled price)

    3000: 170$ + 2 8GB SDHC cards (13$ + 13$) + SDHC to pro duo adapter (14$) = 210$ (+ shipping since I used amazon for prices of the cards - about 15$) = 225$

    lookie that, you still have 25$ left to buy games or accessories. Might even be cheaper if you looked at buy.com, sometimes they have better prices on cards and adapters.



    Go: downloadable games only

    3000: UMD and downloadable games both work on this system.



    3000 pwns. Only way Go would win is if you really cared that it was smaller (which some people do. Smaller is practical)



    Edit: Just a side note. If you buy cards and adapters in stores instead of online, then the Go would be probably be cheaper. But that's why online shopping rocks.
    actually it does allow for expandable memory, meaning your games can be transfered from one to another. Honestly they wouldn't be smart enough to make the console if this was one of the problems. You don't give them enough credit.
    Get the 3000.

    Suggestions/Recommendations for a Headse ...

    I have the 3000 and I've been looking for a solid headset (preferably with a Mic) to match with it.



    So far, I've not had any luck.



    Do any of you have any recommendations? Either on what I might look into or what I should absolutely stay away from?



    I've run into a lot of 2000-series of headsets from various manufacturers that claim that they are compatible with the 3000 but when I've tried them, they haven't worked.



    Thanks in advance!Suggestions/Recommendations for a Headse ...
    The psp go has a headset that you can use with the psp 3000Suggestions/Recommendations for a Headse ...
    A headset by definition has a mic... otherwise you would called them headphones... if headphones are okay, I have been happy with my Sennheiser PX 100. But if you're going to be outdoors in noisy areas a lot you might want some earbuds (personally don't like them--they're always falling out of my ears and jamming them in there for long periods of time just feels unhealthy to me.)
    @ damann22: Thanks, I will go look into that. :)



    @ jedinat: ... Yeah, so a headset is the combination of both. My bad! But yeah. In terms of headphones/earphones only, I have a decent over-the-ears headphones set that I use for just listening which I also use for my MD player. The headsets and earphones/earbuds sets that I've seen for the PSPs usually include a remote and, more importantly, the microphone that makes the headset a headset rather than plain 'phones. I don't use Skype on my PSP, but I use it fairly regularly on my PC, and it would be nice to use on my PSP, too, but... no headset. In terms of headphones versus earphones/earbuds, I definitely prefer the headphones myself because I dislike keeping something in my ear for too long, too. Thanks for the Sennheiser rec - I always like looking into good headphones. :)
    I have always trusted and use my sony headphones; i currently have the Sony Dynamic stereo MDR-V150 model. They produce great sound quality, is light and you can find them pretty cheap.

    CTF Problem?

    I want to change my theme but my PSP can't read CTF files.I installed cxmb.prx but still it can't read.PSP 20005.50 GEN-D (Full)CTF Problem?
    Official Sony Firmware reads themes as .ptf files. By saying you have Gen-D then you should not be talking about it in these forumns (read the sticky about custom firmware and homebrew).
