So where are you going to use your PSP?

[Wobbleshot]

I'm thinking:
-On plane trips
-On the train to work
-On road trips now that I know there will be a DC adaptor
-Sitting in the back yard.

[gamingmonkey2004]

same here...maybe not the last one
but plane trips car rides...no trains near me so id have to scratch that one

[DappaDizzle]

[SenshiNaka]

[gamingmonkey2004]

Most likely the same, except I will probably play it a lot just in my house when bored.

[DappaDizzle]

dont have the funds monkey

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea people like me have to pay for my own that is why i have no desire for the ds

[DappaDizzle]

same here .. thats why im pissed at my self for buying the ds

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea i guess youll learn next time with Nintendo DS Advance comes out next year :lol:

[TheLostChild]

Car, Bus, Boring other things, Plane (not that I take them often)

[Wobbleshot]

dont forget on the toliet its the best tim.....erm..i mean car rides :lol:

I've been waiting for someone to mention that one. Every single one of us will at some point use it on the throne. :lol:

[gamingmonkey2004]

its the throne for a reason :lol: many high scores beaten in there...and thats not all that gets beat.....nevermind ignore that

[KOP007]

Toilet for me. When I flush, I'll see if I see Nintendo going down with my poo.

Ha Ha Ha.

[Wobbleshot]

its the throne for a reason :lol: many high scores beaten in there...and thats not all that gets beat.....nevermind ignore that

Be careful or you'll drop your PSP :lol:

[Black Ops]

I'm thinking:
-On plane trips

-Sitting in the back yard.

Nice. Lets see plane trips. Home. Road trips. School. (If I'm lucky) Other people's houses.

[DappaDizzle]

i was closeing to droping my ds flipping so close to seat i was a bit scared not for the DS .. but for my cash i spent on it

[gamingmonkey2004]

id take it you dont like it

[DappaDizzle]

nah.. i just wished i held on to the cash to buy psp games ... like u monkey i may not be able to get a game or two as well just the unit

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea its a shame thats why im hoping for a bundle with a game i could care less about hte value pack i can buy a memory card later

[DappaDizzle]

true dat.. if i anit got enough for the value pack and some games i will just get the basic and some games

[gamingmonkey2004]

im hoping ill get enough to buy the bare psp then a game and a memory stick

[DappaDizzle]

ive been looking at that 1 gig mem stick the links in the mem forum .. but the price is sweet

[gamingmonkey2004]

hmm im not sure which ones ill get ill check in to things once it gets closer to the release date in the US

[h.cewers]

Offcourse I'm gonna use it between class and in class... :lol: and yes: car rides and so on. Maybe sitting on a bench downtown blinging....getting robbed...What do you think you'll use it for most? playing or watching movie? For me I think it's 70-30%, mostly gaming.

/Hugo

[S2Kluver]

most definately when im about to face serious boredem. mainly during long trips or just when i have nothing to do.

[nickyd]

im thinking when my family is going on long car trips :shock:

[DeathWish]

At my local gamestore, when there taking US preorders for it :lol:

But seriously, im going on some long trips and this would come in very handy

[Wobbleshot]

Heh, I think everyone will do that at least once. :D

[Monolith]

I will mostly be using it on the bus, at work, at uni, when bored chatting to my gf although i am sure she would be irritated if i was to use it during other times with her :shock:

[DappaDizzle]

I will mostly be using it on the bus, at work, at uni, when bored chatting to my gf although i am sure she would be irritated if i was to use it during other times with her :shock:

such as :oops: :oops: :oops: ..lol

[Monolith]

exactly...the less said the better. :wink:

[DappaDizzle]

exactly...the less said the better. :wink:

danm right

[liTTles]

The hour bus ride to and from school...and during school.. :lol:

[gamingmonkey2004]

ahh it feels good not having to ride stupid buses to school and stuff...thank you lord for the driving age being 16!! lol.
but i guess on those plane flights and car rides it will come in handy

[Wobbleshot]

If only they could put a hotspot on the train...

[DappaDizzle]

If only they could put a hotspot on the train...

now that would be sweet

[gamingmonkey2004]

do they have them in planes?
anyway maybe i can connect my PSP to my dads laptop and connect to the internet that way because he has like a cell phone adapter on him laptop to connect to hte internet..i dunno just a thought

[DappaDizzle]

its illegal to use it on planes in can cause interferance with signals

[liTTles]

its illegal to use it on planes in can cause interferance with signals

Only like onm takeoff and landing... just turn it off..

[gamingmonkey2004]

i think what dappa ment was that to discourage use during take off and landing they dont have it on the plane..i guess thats what he means

[Wobbleshot]

I thought I heard somewhere that WiFi was banned even during flight, even when you can use your other electronic devices. Makes sense because it is actively producing radio signals. Same reason you are not supposed to use a cell phone.

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea true...can you even get cell calls up there? i mean like its so far

[Black Ops]

I thought I heard somewhere that WiFi was banned even during flight, even when you can use your other electronic devices. Makes sense because it is actively producing radio signals. Same reason you are not supposed to use a cell phone.

I head that you can turn it on and off. Is there not a switch that you can do that with?

[Wobbleshot]

yea true...can you even get cell calls up there? i mean like its so far

I've heard phones ring on planes before, so I think it would work.

I head that you can turn it on and off. Is there not a switch that you can do that with?

Yeah there is a switch to turn the WiFi on and off. It is on the side near the Memory Stick slot.

[98GTi-VR6]

and yes, the statement that the pilot or stew makes is that "you may now use apporved electronics, including, laptops, personal video players, gaming devices, and cd players." But they mention "you may not use any wireless device unless the wireless function is turned OFF"

There is an active movement to overturn the ban of cellphones on flights. Someone basically proved that it didn't really interfere with the planes electronics. I fly about 15 times per year, so I'd rather that ban stay in place. Better safe than sorry.

As for wifi on flights, I read a few months back that a couple of airlines were going to make wireless internet access available inflight in the next year or so on select flights.

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea since 911 my parents jobs went downhill and we arnt flying as much as we did. And when we did the cell phone craze wasnt as big as it is now...my last flight was to Europe and over the ocean there isnt much cells anyway...i think the scare tactics of saying cell phones screw up everything is just a courtesy for other people wanting to sleep like in movie theaters

[nesman]

Is it true that the DS can't turn off its wireless signal? If it can't sucks for the DS since you won't be able to use it on planes.

[98GTi-VR6]

HOLY CRAP!!!!you're right! I just looked through the DS manual online, and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off wireless.

They can't play DS on a plane!!!!!! OMFG!!! That's pretty innovative huh???

[gamingmonkey2004]

lol thats funny. thats what they get for rushing through making it come out too fast. but you know stupid kids wont know because thats the only people using it little children..why bother with online kids cant go online

[DappaDizzle]

ds is all just a rush

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea they just wanted to get it out before hte PSP took over...you know get a few months jump on the PSP..WHEN THE F*CK are they going to announce the PSP release in the US its pissin me off

[98GTi-VR6]

which one of you guys has DS? can you verify that there's no way to turn off the wireless?

[DappaDizzle]

fo real im dieing for them 2 tell us

[gamingmonkey2004]

fo real im dieing for them 2 tell us

dappa dont you have hte DS? tell us can you turn the WiFi off?

[Wobbleshot]

:lol: at no DSes on planes

I hope they never overturn the ban on in flights cellphones, or people are going to start getting killed on planes. Can you imagine being stuck next to some one all the way from SF to NYC and all they do is yammer away on their cell? :x

[kamikaze_ops]

just smack em across the face and throw their cell phone across the plane :lol:

[DappaDizzle]

fo real im dieing for them 2 tell us

dappa dont you have hte DS? tell us can you turn the WiFi off?

im checking it now .. and the wi-fi wont come off it always on incase another ds comes in contact....looks like i wont be plaing it on the plane..lol like i care the in flight movies are more Entertaining

[98GTi-VR6]

so all this ranting about how DS can last through a long flight without having to recharge is totally pointless. You play it inflight! Of course the battery last...the DS is OFF!!! :wink:

[DappaDizzle]

those guys over at nintedo are sly little ..... FILL IN THE BLANK.....

[gamingmonkey2004]

lol yea
"it lasts even a 20 hour flight around the long way of the earth!"
but hte battery life isnt that long!
"yea i know cause its better in a plane because its....you know up in the air!"
ooo ok! im a stupid kid that doesnt understand
"psshht this is your captain speaking who ever is playing that annoying psshht Mario music please turn it off thank you... psshht

[gamingmonkey2004]

Co-Pilot "uhh..i think there is something wrong with the radar sir"
Pilot "no thats impossible what are you seeing?"
Co-Piolet "uhh...it looks like a 8 bit character..erm..jumping on mushrooms"
Pilot "aww sh*t not again, d*mn kids and their DSs"

sorry just something i thought of

[nesman]

LOL, nice one. :lol:

Headlines: "Kids playing their DS crash the plane...a new form of terrorism has been introduced"

Osama: I wanna get a DS!!!1!!

[gamingmonkey2004]

lol..wait no
Osama "why didnt i think of that first!?"

[nesman]

haha :lol:

[Wobbleshot]

It is even worse than that imaging what happens when one of them kiddies takes over the autopilot with his DS.

[gamingmonkey2004]

ooo i didnt know flight simulator game with my DS...heh lets do a flip..
Background "O GOD!!! WE ARE GOING TO DIE"
Kid "hmm that was fun but lets see what happens if i dive down at that mountain?"
Pilot "o god not again! its posesed!" *bails out*
Kid "aww i lost, the pilot jumped out"

[ryuya]

so i guess your not aloud to use wifi on a plane??? does the psp have a button to tearn off the wifi? i hope so because thats one of the times id need it most.

[gamingmonkey2004]

yes the PSP has a switch on the side to turn the WiFi mode off. And yea WiFi and cell phones suposably screw up with the flight gear and stuff

[nesman]

Yes, the PSP has a switch to turn off the Wi-Fi. It is located near the Memory Stick slot.

[Wobbleshot]

Jinx... :lol:

[gamingmonkey2004]

lol double jinx!
anyway isnt there another setting to connect to other PSPs directly?
cause its like switch up WiFi switch middle off switch down the other thing....i think there is something else

[Wobbleshot]

lol double jinx!

I'm not sure exactly how it works but I think the switch only has two positions on & off. The Power switch has 3 positions.

I think what happens is the PSP has to be set in the menu to either use a hotspot or go in to "Ad Hoc" mode. At least that is how it works with PC WiFi gear.

[Tael]

I'll use it at home and on the bus.

[gamingmonkey2004]

i talked with my friend with a DS and he said you can turn the WiFi off but you have to go through some menus and stuff on the intial start up of the handheld

[Wobbleshot]

Ah, I was looking for a handy switch. Switches are better because you can easily check them.

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea its a flaw but not a huge one

[DappaDizzle]

looks like i can use it on a plane then

[slayerx]

Guess i will use one mainly when im at work on my breaks and also on route to work on my 15-20 minute bus journeys and final on long trips :)

[gamingmonkey2004]

looks like i can use it on a plane then

well cheak it out if you can turn it off. cause my friend could be lieing because he doesnt want to be the loser

[Walu]

When I leave the house and before I go to sleep.

[ZeeZ]

Everywhere.

[DappaDizzle]

looks like i can use it on a plane then

well cheak it out if you can turn it off. cause my friend could be lieing because he doesnt want to be the loser

i went though all the menus and read the manual.. even called the nintendo... and it cant be turned .. but they said it shoudnt interfere to much with orther signals......should looks like im takeing the chance on my flight to LA.....so i wont be playing it on the plane

[gamingmonkey2004]

o well then my freind is a jelous liar! :lol:

[98GTi-VR6]

I'll be using mine whenever I travel (at least a dozen times a year for business, 3 or 4 times a year on vacation).

BECAUSE YOU CAN USE A PSP ON THE PLANE!!!

Also use it at home a lot thru my wireless access point.

Imagine hearing the captain starting to scream "MAYDAY, MAYDAY, WE'RE GOING DOWN!" in the speakers and when you turn your head around, you see two kids playing mario 64x4 against eachother.

The PSP's next advertising campaign.

In GTA you can fake kill, but Mario really kills.

[PimpTolson]

YES! Toilet is my #1 usage time...No, maybe 1st will be Bus rides to school and back, but toilet comes in a VERY CLOSE SECOND!

[Wobbleshot]

yea!..no it would be something like...ahhhhhhhhh! then beat the kids over the head with the seat cushion.

The seat cushion?!? At least you can use your shoe, the cushion isn't going to cause much harm.

[Stinky]

i think ill mostly use the PSP at home, i would never take it out with me, as ill always worry about losing it or if it gets damaged or stolen etc.

so at home, on the couch or in bed are the best, and when takin a shit of course :wink:

[Wobbleshot]

Ok with everyone using their PSPs on the crapper, how many of you are going to be playing online games in there?

Just make sure you turn the microphone off ok?

[Stinky]

[aussieinjapanpsp]

Im pretty much going to play mine on the train !! I live about 1 hour west of Yokohama and 1 1/2 hours west of Shinjuku...so the train ride can be pretty boring !!
