    I'd be using Skype on my 2000 if the damn thing had come with the little converter box like it was supposed to... I got a skype headset, and found out I needed an extra piece for it to actually work... That was supposed to come with my new 2000... And didn't...

    @bobtheduck: What? HUH? I never heard such a thing. I have a PSP2000 and to use skype I had to buy the new for model 2000 headset with remote control. There is no adaptor that's supposed to come with the 2000 itself.

    The headset kit has 2 pieces, a headset with standard headphone jack plug, and a second line/extension with the volume/remote control on one end that you plug the headphones into; the remote control line goes into the video out port.

    It is, unfortunately, quite unwieldy because both the headphones and the remote control line are about 2.5' long so with them combined you have enough cord to go to your knees and all the way back up. Also, the remote control is "upside down" as you reach down to it. While it works fine and sounds good, the product design is severely lacking. I wasn't surprised by them integrating a microphone into the 3000 to replace it.

    On another subject, how come that tiny pic can't be displayed, either with a straight url, nor with html code (html just makes it disappear!)? D'oh, I must be doing something wrong, then. (: ; )

    Has anyone ever noticed that Nintendo is, out of MS/Sony/Nintendo, the one who says "We have no plans to..." the most by FAR?


    It's like they don't want to do ANYTHING. -_-

    @PatrickF**kingStar: But actually using skype on the PSP requires an additional piece of hardware that's technically supposed to come with new PSPs, but seemed to be missing from mine... In any case, this would not be needed with the DSi, as it has a built in mic.

    Nintendo, maybe so many people wouldn't be running amok with flash carts if you didn't force us to use them for an 'unlocked' DS. :(

    Hang on!

    You don't know whilst? Is it not used in American English? It's used in English quite often and it seems strange that it didn't make it over the pond.

    Jesus, this show is awful. Crecente is awesome, but these people need to fall in a deep, dark well, outside the range of a wireless signal.
