Morning all,

Looks like "Gizmoforgeeks" is at it again (I searched, it's a site that's been mentioned a few times)
Comparing the PSP to the 2x...

http://gizmosforgeeks.com/index.php/articles/2510

Not read it all yet (boss is about!) but seems pretty positive.

They said PSP has a better screen
They don't mention headphone jack.
They don't mention START, SELECT, L, R, or Stick buttons.

They also implied that the GP2X is better as a media device than a game device

Not a bad review I think.

Similar to a PSP, the left and right top buttons are located along the top edge of the GP2X along with a standard headphone jack and the SD card port.
...
Moving on to the GP2X buttons, on the right side you have the Select and Start buttons and the A, B, X and Y buttons arranged in a circle. The left side of the unit includes an 8-way directional joystick
..
But yeah,they don't mention the joystick push-switch.

eh...I stand corrected

Don't know why your getting worked up we don't need no review to tell us our GP2X is better than a PSP we know that already

But it's not better than PSP. They are good only at the things they're made for, and GP2X and PSP were made for different things.

In a purely hardware sense, the PSP is better.
But Sony has hampered the system with DRM, Homebrew blocking and Auto Updates.

I don't really agree with his statement that the PSP screen is so much better. That ghosing is pretty bad. And for what the GP2X is used for the aspect on the GP2X is better suited as well.

And why do they always say that the gp2x plays wma and wmv? It does not and probably will not ever. Unless he has a magic gp2x that does everything gamepark says it does...

I kinda agree that the gp2x is better as a media device.... I dont use it much for games, except for squidgesnes.

psp screen is better Normal people don't care about ghosting

I care about ghosting so much I won't buy an LCD monitor..

I'd call you a geek if I weren't so busy wanking off to some night elves...

As far as the industry is concerned, a 480x272 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio is "better" than a 320x240 4:3 aspect ratio display, especially given the recent focus on widescreen movie playback. Of course that doesn't take into account that most emulators look like trash on a widescreen display, or that the response time of the PSP's widescreen display is inferior, and its design process more prone to large amounts of dead pixels (so many in fact that there are PSP community-made programs to try and unstick 'stuck' pixels.)

If you're comparing the MK2 and the PSP, I'd say the MK2 screen was really better in every way- there's no interlacing to speak of although the viewable angle is impacted. The viewing angle on the PSP is pretty awful, though, too. If you're comparing the MK1, I can see how an unexperienced user, e.g. a reviewer, might declare the PSP display the winner right away due to scanline issues.

Not for emulators though. The screen size and ratio is much better suited for classic emulation. Also I don't know about you guys, but ghosting kills the experience of a classic game(or actually all games) for me. While the PSP's screen is much better for new games with far more intense graphics.

Overall I'd say that while as usual there are discrepencies, (e.g wma, and the other usual suspects) The review was a positive one. Hey, thats alot better than our favorite handheld has fared in relation to the PSP in other "reviews". I'd say its a good start!
