Fanswag: Win an incredible Uncharted prize pack

"Raiders of the Lost Ark". The 1st is always the best. Can't wait for "Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls".

Deal of the Day: PSP component cables for $10

@ Marco Cano Jr
I purchased these from monoprice.com (Which I am happy to do business with, great place for cables) However, I haven't got it to work yet. I have a tube TV (Sony WEGA) and it did not work there either let alone my HDTV (Sony SXRD Rear Projection LCD). I'm still going to test on other TVs to make sure it really is the cable. Then I'll see how monoprice will handle the situation. So just a warning to fellow fanboys, but let me know if you guys got these specific cables to work. I really want them to work as I was always pleased with monoprice's products.

I ordered this and so far it hasn't worked for me yet. The signal is scrambled on my 1080p rear projection LCD display. It's also capable of the signal it requires (480p/480i/720p etc.) but the signal is still scrambled. I'm attempting to try it on a different display to see if it's my TV.

Battlefront: RS is too damn easy, unlike winning this Star Wars: LE PSP.

Win a copy of the God of War: Chains of Olympus demo

Wasn't fortunate to get the demo in the mail. I got a feeling I'll chalk this up as another loss.

PSP-2000 core systems now available

pspvideo9 (It's FREE) is a great prog for transcoding vids to your PSP/PS3. mp3s are as easy as dropping them onto the "MUSIC" (or AUDIO, I forgot) folder on your memstick, this folder should be created automatically when you format your memstick. This goes for transferring videos as well when you're done transcoding, there will be a "VIDEO" folder on the memstick. You can optionally create thumbnails for it as well. Size should be 160x120, I believe. This is the best route as PSP VidMgr is garbage.

New Piano Black PSP Model: PSP-2001PB
Available at most Fry's location
Got mine this past Monday at Burbank, CA

I sent an email to pspfanboy.com that day, but I'm sure they had to verify the tip. I got tipped off of the availability as early as last Saturday.


PS: I suggest you request to open it and power on at the store, in case of dead pixels.
I had 2 dead pixels, went back and exchanged it. They opened a fresh one for me they let me boot it up and check, even gave me a game to test with.

American PSN releases for September 6th

There's definitely some audio issues with the Stranglehold demo. It would intermittently do this obnoxious stutter cut in/out audio malfunction. There's no way to get rid of it unless you exit out of the game completely and relaunch it. Other than that, I'm really glad they gave us this demo. I was geting skeptical that I pre-ordered the "Collector's Ed.". This demo reinforces it. The graphics are a lil' stylized in a direction that's not of my preference, however it still looks good for what it was going for. The gameplay is intuitive enough after a few minutes. Although making the "L1" action moves similar to Uncharted's numerous animations would make it more easy on the eye, believable, and less repetitive. In a nutshell, Stranglehold looks to be a strong title. Action-packed, nice play control, interesting story line.

A special PSP Lite Q&A

Aug 28th 2007 10:57PM (Joystiq Playstation)
Given all the existing PSP's accessories. Which one of these will be compatible with the PSP-2K? Please do a write-up on the breakdown of all compatible accessories with the new PSP-2K, along with new accessories that we are unaware of. Lastly, Can you please do an "UNBOXING" piece. Although, I'm sure this is what you guys have planned for us PSPFanboys anyways. Thanks.
