    What would you do for a PSP.......

    Would you pay an additional 30-50 dollars for a PSP right now, or not pay the additional money and wait till the end of April?

    Is it worth the rush?

    I'd wait, personally. I've had three chances to buy, but upon inspection, 5, 7, and 4 dead pixels each time.

    QA for these things seems to be at an all-time low at this moment.

    mine has 7 dead pixels, and two of them are adjacent.
    honestly, i really don't care. they don't bother me.
    you can only see them on a pure black screen, and even then they fade in and out...
    my friend says i'm nuts.
    but hey, i beleive in dirty space (aliens/star wars), not clean space (star trek/2001).
    you should see my iPod...it's trashed!

    i'll probably just sell it to someone here at work once the next shipment comes in with it's updated firmware and VIDEO SOFTWARE!!!!

    Ah, these boys is all swelled up. So this was earlier...getting set to trade. Then, woooaaah differences.

    I think the problem is that Sharp can't make enough displays. From what I heard that's the reason why the European launch was moved back, not enough displays. Yeah, that's what you get if you take the best (by far) available screen.

    Why would you even consider paying extra money, when they're not even that hard to find....

    Oh, yeah, about that. ImageConverter 2.1 sucks all ass. You're limited to a handful of bitrate options, no audio options, and no size options. It takes everything and automatically outputs it to 320x240.

    And for some reason nor that nor PSPVideo9 likes MOV's spit out by Flash.
