Payola 2: Why it matters
PS2 already has a white version… its just not sold in North america
It came out in Japan on September, 15 and I have heard rumors of it coming out in the Us before Christmas. Till next time peace out!
why are the psp not a 150 pounds because i want to buy one but they are expensive
yeah it is to expensive
well i have ordered a white psp from http://www.ukoffer.com and its only £168.80 you try it
when r they coming out in north america?????
yea this beter come to the us. couse i really want it for christmas.
when is the white psp coming to america and how much is it going to cost?i want to have one for my birthday or christmas.
hit me back with some info
Its comming out december 5th in the U.S and the 12th in the U.K.
Ok I love the PSP. But I can’t believe that Sony didn’t incorporate a digital camera into the unit! After all the portable media players that have been released to the public you’d think that would be a big enough clue!
If you think about it, it’s rather stupid. They say that you can HOLD pictures. WTF! That means I have to go buy a camera too! It doesn’t have to be 5 mega pixels but a flash would be nice. Sony abandoned me with the network walkman [nw-hd1] and they failed again with the PSP. Oh and btw if you’re into what’s in but you don’t wana buy something that will be out in a month. I highly recommend buying the PSP because the Xbox 360 has done so well that Sony won’t have a chance in the console world so they will back their PSP to stay in the gaming world.
when does the white psp giga pack actully come out?
cause i reaaly want one for christmas badly. are you sure it comes out on dec 5???
the white psp is not as good as the black one. I hope that sony makes a lime green psp, now that would be cool. By the way, the white psp may not come to America, because it is not doing so well in Japan.
Wow the guy above has my name, George Buff
pleased to meet you George!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not really !
yeah i wanted the white but i could’nt wait so i got the black 1
i got one today but i still wont a white one
um… yea i really hope they DON’T come here to America because I am lucky enough to have had one imported from Japan (via my friend who I went to tokyo w/ over the summer and went back over winter break) and it’s just soo frick’n awesome watching others think they’re cool w/ their black one, until I make them jealous when I whip out my shiroi (white) PSP
XP
but… if any of you ever manage to get your hands on one somehow like I did, you’ll also love it as much as I have
:)
what i’m trying to say is, if there’s ever a chance you can get a white PSP before (they are sold outside of Japan), take it, because it’s soo worth it!
hubby bought me a white psp for christmas and i have to agree with deanis91 it is the coolest thing having a white one when everyone else has a black one! hehe its great to be different!!! no-one ive come across has a white one yet, then again I live in England, we’re a bit behind when it comes to technology ( & lots of other things too actually)
oops i meant to agree with PinoyNinja!
i live in US and i got a white psp for chrismas and i was wondering if i had to get all my accessories from japan?? any info would help
does the white one play us movies and games
the Japanese white PSP (and the black one also) can play American games w/o any problems, but region coded movie UMDs will not work, as i found out when i bought Harold and Kumar go to White Castle on UMD, only to find that it wouldn’t play it… XP
I know where you can get a white PSP regular pack or the white PSP giga pack. The regular pack is $255.00 US and the giga pack is $325.00 US. The website has gotten very good ratings so,….and the shipping is cheap too!

So what features does the white psp have compared to the black one?
So what features does the white psp have compared to the black one?
is there a US version of the white psp yet
If you guys want a white PSP, you can get them at your local chinese shopping mall. My chinese mall is called “Fairview Mall’ in Toronto Canada, but the boxes are all open.
i dont see the point of the white psp because there is no difference between that and the black one except colour
when is the white psp going to come out in usa, and how much is it going to cost? I whant it for my birthday april 1 2006
who ever thinks that 360 is gona rule the console world is straight up retarded go to ign.com and look at the side by side comparison of power. PS3 and the psp when connected is going to be amazing. as for the white psp its just to show that you really like you ipod and the extrs feature you get with the japanese white psp is that you cant watch north american umd’s you have to order the asian versions and read subtitles
i found the white psp giga pack for 270
that price was after shipping
I have one I need to get rid of. Its a White Giga Pack, and also a copy of SOCOM.
does any1 know if da white psp came out in toronto, canada cuz im gettin 1 for ma b-day on feb.10 but i really want a white one not black(actually want a white gigapack but a normal white bundle will do) so if any1 know if it came out in toronto and where its being sold plz e-mail me at coedra10@hotmail.com. L8ER!
how big is the memory stick supposed to be with the starter pack for the white PSP?
The PSP whether white or Black is major. My friend recently touched down in NY and picked a value pack up for $335…What a rip-off…The only appealling thing between the two (Black&White)is the sick white case the white psp comes with….
ps3 will blow the 360 out of the water when it is realesed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard that if you upgrade the (Japanese) white psp with American firmware this will allow you to watch American region UMDs, does anyone know if this is true?
Hopefully rebel is right because im ordering one since its my bday and my dad gave me 300 dollars.. i dont care cause ima put my own videos on it anyways.. =)

hey !? what the different of the psp black to white ?! its all most the same ! its much more better if they made a update or upgrading of the old one to have the same function . . . i mean the tv thing ! and we in the north i mean we ! the people talk english can hack to make a program or upgrade but they made it special! the CERAMIC PSP or the white psp can only be use i mean the other future only in japan! WHF! is that! hey!? people of the world will you buy a psp that they just change the cover of the black psp in to a white but its that same function also? im not sure but this is some of us saw! like the nintendo ! they have DS and now the small and compact version ! but same ! no video if you want video you must buy in japan the accessoriess! i get im tell!? you deside? but if they seng the same one like in japan!? i get one but if its the same as the black!?

I have a White PSP and I live in the United States do I have to buy movies and games from Japan?
pleaz, da white psp is da same thing as the black. i mean, what iz da differance. what, the psp is white and that’s your favorite color. it is better to buy a black psp because it plays american games, not some stupid japanese chin chon mackohoiy crap. no offese, but if you think your cool and your in the 2006 gear wit dat white gadget, your not because someone is going to come up and say “hey can i see a game” and you have nothing, nada, zip. I am just saying because it is a waist of money if you live in north america. but if you really want it go ahead, because the money is not coming from my pocket to some frogein country
Just to tell you, It CAN play American games you dumbass, not the movies though, Jesus Christ!!Chin chon mackohoiy… Ha, that’s pretty funny, except for the fact that you don’t have to play some chin chon mackohoiy crap… Retard
first of all, i want to thank jeff sanc for telling Al that he is RETARDED!!!!!! i have the white psp and it is sick. just cause your jealous that some people have cooler shit then you doesnt mean you should try to cover it up and act like your too cool for it. And would every one shut up about when its coming to the US!!!!!! BUY IT OFFLINE!!! thanx you and have a nice day
do the whit psp’s even play dvd’s cause when I tried the sample disk it did not work on the movie part so tell me how I can fix dat ok thatnkyou
hey if you want a dif color for ur psp just go buy new plates and they are only like 30 dollers you can get red green every fricken color
white PSP is WAY better than the black one. because the black one break easy I have one of the black and it broken. But Im getting the White and it way better truse me I know about technology I can fix stuff and 30 second (most stuff) Pick the white one it cost $314.60 that for stuff include go to http://www.PSP.com
and your Click onn Asia pacific and then click on japan and it well give your the cost for the white PSP it chape truse I know.
okayy the white one is awesome and stuff and im still thiking f buying it but it dosnt play umd movies from america because im from los angeles and i want to buy movies….plz somebody tell me the solution..
buy a black one i’m sure the white one is cool and all but it can’t play region 1 ( american ) movies then wats the point? if someone had a white one i would be too distracted watching my movies to pay attention. i mean really whats the point of watching or playing japanese games when u can’t read what they are saying?

the PS3 blows the x-box 360 outa the water even though it hasn’t come out yet t, th specs have come in and they’re much better than the 360’s soo wait it out and get the PS3 or the PSP.
sorry jon it was either you or jess who possted that…
the white psp has a 16 million colour screen which the black does not so the image is sharper got mine of ebay
i got my white psp in japan in march. its so sweet. i got the value pack, and bought an extra 512 mb. why i didn’t just get the giga pack beats me. and like everybody else on here that got their white psp’s, i made people with black psp’s get jealous so bad. mwahahaha. it matches my white ps2 :D got that back in 2004 when it came with gran turismo 4 prologue. so now both of my imported systems match.
and for the people who wanted to know about american umd’s on japanese psp’s: no it doesn’t work. but ALL games are region-free (which is frickin AWESOME), so imma start buying american games to add to my japanese psp game collection soon.
btw, i shet you not, but my psp value pack cost me $88 with a discount.
Can da english version play multiplayer with the jap version?
ok i got my psp in the us from my friend he sold it mo brand new but i jus read info that it will not come in the us for a while not untill japan sell alot….and there only for $235.87+tax injapan…..but the japanies verson wll not play umd videos….u have to download a thing, which im trying to find out what it is…aight late.

well this site realy helped me cuz i was just aboutto buy a white psp off ebay but then i decided to see the differnce between jpn and us version and its retarded if u would rather have a white just to show off rather then watch movies,
thats all
u know what thats crazy the blue psp just came out in australia and you can take pictures and it stores 60g
I actually owned the white psp and BOY is it lovely :-) solovely my cuz stole it and probably sold that shyt. it had the case and the earphones and the adaptor and i got it for $235 plus Shipping for a total of $242. The web brower is hot. I would go to my Bf’s college which has a wireless campus and surf the web. i didnt have to buy any extras with the value pack and i know where you can get a 2gb memory stick for under $75 and its real!! i am looking to buy another one because i miss mine.. If you know a place where its under $250 including shipping let me know my e-mail is on here.
overall i love it and i have a feeling that it isnt coming to the USA.

at codymailhot@yahoo.ca
I read that not just that there coming out with a white psp but there also making it so you can watch T.V. on your psp also and for you guys who want one real bad go to google and tipe in white psp and you’ll get good offers for it like $229.90 and free shipping.
the white psp is better than the black one because it has a few extra features like tv and some other things. it comes out in america september 15th 06.
i just got the white one…its freakin sweet. and…mine came with a 1g memory stick duo in it. so it beat all yours! haha.
i dont care about the movies though…ill just dl them myself. but yeah…if you want a white one with a 1g card in it, go to hong kong and buy it there. they upgrade it free of charge. it just costs $300 more HK dollars. but thats like $30 US. so its worth it.
so clean xD
white psp is much beta dan da black psp white psp gota a t-.v black is the shitiest and the worest
does the white psp have televison built into it nd is there any! way that it can play us movies??? and is it being released in the US?
what’s the diference between black and white psp ?
I think ps3 suck compared to 360 and psp is better then 360 so for all u retards 360 has better graphics &stuff then the PS3 k? cause who would want to buy PS3 crap haha its not crap its bull shit yall.
I agree with vin xbox 360 is waaaaay off the charts then PS3 and PSP better then 360 so thats just to back him up cause i know you retards THINK that but u dont KNOW that.
got my white psp just a couple weeks ago and it is pretty awesome. only thing it cant do is play north american umds. so for the people worrying about the movies, you can just download the movies off the internet and send it over to your psp through usb and save it onto your memory stick. and if the memory stick that you have is not big enough for you. get a bigger one.
my mistake, it CANT play north american MOVIES. but it CAN play north american GAMES
Do all you people have white Japanese PSP’s? I am thinking of getting the white or pink Japanese one, but was concerned about dead pixels and the fact that none of them will allow you to exchange them, anyone have a problem with dead pixels?
I’M NEW TO THIS GAME, ARE JAPANESE AND HONG KONG PSP’S OK TO USE IN THE UK,[GAMES&MOVIES].

u guys who like the white ones are gay i mean black is a way sharper colour then wite
im from michigan (in usa)and i think white is gay so are all of u losers who like the white ones
I agree with the unknown above me. There is no reason at all for you to get another one because all the psp are the same not including yhe different colors.
i don’t think people are gay for wanting a white psp, but if you already have a psp what is the point? but then again it’s not my money it’s up to those people. personally i want a white psp i don’t have a psp yet because i’m still deciding between the black one because it plays american movies and the white one which can’t play american movies. well i don’t know white or black?
that shit is tight i had a dlack 1 dut now i want a white 1 dut if they make a blue 1 i would get it
does sony sell a camra’ and why didnt they make the psp with a built in camra’ but o well hit me back with some info plz

anyone agree with me no1 posted anything since i posted that thing ……..i guess htose psp losers got ashamed .
shut the hell up!!!! psp is the best portable gaming console… u can directly say that laptop is as a pc so there is no difference…but there is a huge difference in psp and a laptop…then why don’t u just say that u can do everything in laptop and nothin in psp u dumbhead????
wat r u talkn bout da psp does hold pictures and it can take some cuz i got it 4 christmas. u jus need a usb cord dat can fit into your camera and psp.
