I have a Slimline also  posted pics of that in another thread.
Hmm, not used as Gizmondo yet but I've played a DS.
I was impressed with its graphics.....until I played the PSP that is. Better than N64 but nowhere near PSP!
Also the DS feels REALLY cheap & nasty while the PSP is solid & quality.
Oh, also I read that Sony do not expect to meet the March date as they don't have enough components. It is likely to be put off till June!!!

I have also heard that but it has been confirmed by 2 good sources that it was a rumour so there is no worry. But i have heard that sony have approached Samsung to make 2nd Rate the europe screens, unlike the japanese 1st Class screens made by Sharp.
Which mite mean that us Europeans and USA cud be getting 2nd rate technology so sony can save money. pfft
If this happens i will return my preorder and buy an import 
Here is an example of quality.

That would be a shame if thats true as the screen is one of the best features!
Not that it'll bother me of course 
One 'interesting' point:
The PSP has an IR port on the top but so far it doesn't do anything at all. Not even an option in the menu!
Apparently they have no use for it yet & support will be added in f/w updates although I thought it would at least have file transfer

@ MikLSP (or anyone else) - You got any idea what those two little holes at each side of the screen at the lower left and right corners and the same kind of hols on the bottem of the system are for? Been looking round for a reson for them for a while now.
Thanks |

The ones on the bottom are the two loudspeakers.
I don't know what the two near the screen are as they appear to be simple recesses. Maybe holes for attaching accessories.
It does have two holes with screw threads next to the USB port which must be for clamping down USB accessories such as the camera.
By the way, the screen makes this a lovely photo viewer & u can zoom in & move around with the analogue stick.
And of course u can display them as a slideshow.
It's also a damn good music player.
Not really tried videos yet.
Let me know if there's anythin you want to know/see etc.

My first post says who I got it from but I don't know if he's still doing them at that price & especially not the Value Pack. I was privelaged
By the way people, I found this article about a possible software update to add more features:

Sony PSP 'update' adds office apps, browser, email
By Tony Smith
Published Monday 17th January 200511:05 GMT
Sony may be preparing to release its first PlayStation Portable (PSP) update, if a file that briefly appeared on the web this weekend is what it purports to be a leaked copy of an early version of the update code.
Whatever its provenance, the software certainly includes some interesting features. In addition to the usual bug fixes, the update is said to add not only a web browser and an email program, but a word processor and a spreadsheet.
At this stage, the translations from the original Japanese exploration of the alleged PSP update file doesn't make itclear whether these are fully functioning office apps - or simply readers put in place to handle emailed attachments. Given the device's nature, we suspect that latter, but early talk of a PSP keyboard accessory has led some observers to suggest they're the real thing.
The update also adds an on-screen calculator utility, three games and an automatic software update feature along the lines of the utilities found in desktop operating systems.
Early looks at the update suggest it is not complete, with the update process failing some way in. If by any chance you find yourself with a copy - don't ask us where toget it, we don't know - it's probably not a good idea to run it. Quite apart from being potentially incomplete, it has not yet been verified that the file has even come from Sony, and could in fact be something more malign.
If the file does represent an early build of an official update, then it seems likely Sony will release it ahead of the PSP's US and European launches, expected to in March. So far, the PSP is on sale in Japan only.
As Sony demonstrated with the launch of the PSX PS2-based PVR in December 2003, it is willing to ship a number of updates, each adding extra functionality that was originally planned for the machine but dropped in order to get it to market on schedule. Given Sony's rush to get the PSP out the door, it's entirely plausible that components such as the browser and email .app were cut at the eleventh hour. ®

Another thing I find interesting is that from the HomeScreen, if you select Game you can choose the UMD (which shows a nice preview of the game that's in) or the Duo! Currently mine says I have no games on the Duo obviously but this at least suggests games can be put on a Duo stick!!!
You can also view your saved games in this list.
