A questionable purchase.
I was so bored with S.S.D.D. that I bought myself a Playstation Portable (a PSP). Origionally, I was going to slap music and movies on it with a 2 Gig Memory Stick Pro Duo. Forget games.
How wrong I was.
Music is no problem, as long as it's MP3 or AAC format. It's the video -- which requires you to use a specalized version of h264 that dependent on what firmware you have (I upgraded to 3.30) will have you switching setting on your encoder for a full day and a half.
Ugh. I want a media player that's 480x272, plays Ogg Vorbis files and any AVI I can throw at it (and then some). The PSP ain't it. It's a game machine that can play specialty formatted media. Plus, I got it for $200, a full day before Sony dropped the price to $170. The media card's $60 from Office Depot, a 2 gig Memory Stick Pro Duo that doesn't like anything but the PSP.
So I'm basically teh ded. I bought crap and paid a heavy price for it. I'm very tempted to sell it now, and likely recoup half my losses.
Anyone want a PSP?
