Finally I decided to hit the order button Razz

I saw a deal on a site I couldnt miss. It was £199 for the PSP Value Pack with 2 Games, Toca Race Driver 2 and Spiderman 2 and a book of £100 worth of vouchers. Then when you register the PSP you get a free Spiderman 2 UMD movie dont you?

I herd that when you put the Demo disc in it upgrades the firmware to 2.00 is that true???? But surely if I put the demo disc in while using battery power it will be fine wont it ??

No, you have to go to upgrade. I have played mvidz, and other stuff of the demo disc and no problems. Still a 1.52

ok, Im guessing you made a error when you said "No, you have to go to upgrade" and you actually ment "No, you dont have to upgrade" ????

You dont have to upgrade. The upgrade is an option on the demo disc. I havent done it yet and dont intend to. The only thing Im missing out on is the wallpaper feature. Did you know the background colour changes every month? You can see this by changing the date in the settings Smile

I registered my PSP on yourpsp.com yesterday as well so hopefully Ill get a Spiderman2 soon!


May the NFOrce be with you always.

damn I have 2 dead pixels...

1 seems dead and the other seems half dead (hard to see its dead)

Good thing is the 1 dead one is in the top left of the screen Smile and they are only noticable in the dark and when the image on the screen is dark (eg black)...

Well apparently you can force the dead pixel to "awake" by flashing colors on the screen itself...

well on the black screen, one shows up red and one green...

Is it safe to leave a video like that running? can it not damage anything else?

Theres dead pixels and stuck pixels, you have stuck pixels.

Dead pixels dont light up at all, and never will, stuck pixels are just stuck on as a certain color...repeated use can unstick these pixels and make them work again. Apparently as the display tells the pixel to change after a long period of time it finally decides to listen, and unsticks itself. I have 3 stuck pixels, and I have been using my PSP for a good 4 months now, and they are all still there.

I've run that pixel unsticker program many times for 4+ hours when I first got the machine. I could see it increasing the chances of unsticking a pixel because its flashing the entire screen with every color, but it certainly hasnt helped me.

I've heard stories of these pixels unsticking after a single run of that program, but I wouldnt bet on that happening.
