Yeah that vids petty darn funny.The unit is pretty sturdy and you wont catch me doing that to mine incase you cracked the case or screen or something.Imagine trying to twist your cellphone.The vid is also a trick of angles.The disk doesnt actually pop out(to be sent a distance) if it opens.The person has the camera tilted right over so the psp is angled down giving the impresion it flys out but its actually just falling.
Id definitly wait for release if i were you.Memory sticks are droping in price and there is a 1 gig due the end of jan for about $120.Plus with the money you save on the unit you can get some games.I couldnt wait plus i got given money for one from all my family for christmas.The difference in the US unit i think will be minimal if any but by then the new firmware should also be available.My guess would be that the newer units will mearly have a lesser rate of problems due to ironing out process at factories but i highly doubt they would change the unit much.some things like initial squeeky buttons may be removed.Some people have had a few problems but mainly with dead pixels.But that goes for any lcd.Mine has no problems whatsoever.Umd playback is region locked so you wouldnt be able to play movies as well.Im only interested in mp4 off memory stick myself.I also needed an mp3 player.
rumour has it maybe a all region chip in development.At the moment unless you speak jpnese there are only a few import friendly titles.
Now that ive got that out of the way.
Im really really loving this thing.Its like a bright shiney new cresta.Im extremely glad ive got it now even at the raised price.Which probably isnt far off nz price anyway.
Ridge racers is a very cool game.Its quite strange seeing something so small run such a nice looking game smoothly.The startup of ridge racers was made for showing off the screen.They used some very bright colours like a yellow car that look absolutly beautifull on the screen.If i had to rate what its like watching stuff on the lcd id say its not far off the new vaio screens where they have a default black colour to them which gives them an awsome contrast.Ive been following the psp very closly and am happy to say that even though ive downloaded heaps of clips of it and read plenty of impressions i was still exited and impressed when i first started it up and saw the ridge racer movie clip.
