Syphon Filter sequel pushes PSP to 333MHz

i was hoping that some developer would grow the stones to be the first to announce their gunna crank it up to 333. lets hope that they set the bar for other developers as well

I believe the idea was that they originally wanted better battery life in order to convince people to buy the thing, but that doesn't seem to be that big of an issue now.

So, yeah, crazy marketing.

it because of the psp lites extended battery life. sony is forgetting about the past and looking towards the future. maybe there expecting people to drop the old one and get a new one i meen people did the same thing to the DS. from what i heard the damn things are selling like crazy im gonna get a lite soon 2 there eventually gonna be updates and options you wont be able to have with the psp 1001. USB charge capabilities SWEET. ill play my ps3 while it charges on my ps3 then plug out and go. i know there are usb/chargers but since the ps3 comes with one why bother.

The PSP lite *doesn't* have an extended battery life (unless you shell out for a battery from the regular PSP). The PSP lite is more efficient with it's battery usage, but that's completely offset by a lower overall battery capacity.

I think the new battery time, while still the same as the old one, is based on the fact that PSP now runs at 333 MHz.

if the cpu's still locked, I believe the battery time would be 8~10 hours, as previously announced.

Games would be be a good addition to your PS3, but too bad it doesn't have any.

Eric, it's relevent because whilst homebrew enables you to up the clock speed, it doesn't actually change any of the games that are built to run at 222mhz.

If you actually read the article, in the hands of the developers, they can add physics and water effects etc, as opposed to in the hands of the homebrew devs, where it gets them an extra few FPS on Mario 64.

And erm, good work on the PSP flaming guys. Some of those comments were almost original. Diversity exists, get used to it.

So you think instead of touting the PSPs graphical prowess they should instead boast it's original control method? It's the differences that are giving the PSP the sales it's getting, and the target audience are the ones that don't want to still be playing old school mario (haha, apart from the homebrew scene, of course ^^) or tappy non-games.

Not to say 2D mario isn't great, but a lot of people who spend their time at home playing Gears and MGS want to play at least imitations of modern current gen games on their hardware. That's the target audience, you think if they tried to compete with Nintendo portables on their level they'd get any sales at all? Laughable.

Don't just compare sales figures and say the PSP is dead, it's remarkable that any machine has managed to dent Nintendo's portable marketshare at all, after all, many have tried. It's not even a black hole of money as the PS3 currently is, it's doing quite well considering it's going up against the almighty Gameboy.

it's clear as day that you have never touched a PSP
