Alias420 | October 21, 2005

Lik-Sang now has a full hands on review of Datel’s 4GB HardDrive and Battery for the the PSP (click link to read it). There are plenty of new pics of the entire kit and exactly what it will look like once everything is put together. Personally I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these things on October 25th when the unit will start shipping. Click on the image for more info and to read the full hands on review.

the thing looks like crap. its better to wait for a 4gig pro duo, or that thing that has the shape of the ps2 controller and fits different types of media cards

I really just wish they made it slimmer :(, but 4gbs is great :) .

Yeah RaiderX, that controller is a much better idea, but i woder how long it will take to come out.

Who knows if that thing will ever be real? They dont even have a prototype yet.

they should also include a carrying case that will fit the psp and the hdd and battery pack….holy shit!!! so much for portable gaming and cost almost as a psp.

p.s I heard sandisk is making a 10.GB DUO PRO that right it 10 GB.

a 10GB!! OMG where did you see that? sound fake:(

Considering that the 2Gb memory stick, let alone an official one, is considerably more expensive than this item that is not only twice the capacity but also comes with an X2 battery, your criticisms are a tad unfair.

And in terms of size, after playing for more than five minutes on mine I’m normally wishing the thing had a bit more back to hold on to to uncramp my hands anyway. (Also a 4gb duo wouldn’t enable you to purchase the much cheaper CF cards as this does)

I can’t stress enough how impracticle this is.

It ruins the whole portable aspect of the psp.
As for the battery, it only adds one houre to the battery life.
And you think that its worth $200 for a compact flash drive that has slower read and write times than a memory stick?

I think it is good idea with 4GB! because this way the 2GB it will be more cheaper.

and also, maybe in your world 10 isn’t a multiple of 2, but here on earth it is. use your brain your retard. and also, it has nothing to do with multiples. 1028 megabytes equals a gigabyte. it you mulitply that by three, you get, you guessed it, THREE!

He meant squares of 2, not multiples. Maybe you’re skull is a little too thick to figure that out what he meant though. Also, a Gigabyte is 1024 Megabytes, not 1028.

Man…poeple get mean about this stuff. As for me I think the 4 gig thing is pretty gay. There will be better things in the future…just wait.

im happy with my 1 gig, i have 724 megabytes left on it now…the only thing a 4 gig would be usefule for is putting games on you psp or movies

# 8 i also heard that Sony is making a 10 gb hardrive thingy for the psp and wants to release it around the same time the ps3 comes out.. not sure what site it was but it said sony wanted to challenge the new ipod video thing with their 10 gb hardrive.

Any way for the 4 gb do u have to open up the psp or anything

It’s is amazing how dumb people can be, have you priced 4 gig cf cards? The cheapest one at newegg.com is $209. This is one of those, a cf to memory stick bridge, a case for it, and a battery. And the thing is hardely any bigger than a cf case. What do you want magic? There just isn’t anyway to make it smaller right now.

#2 this 4gb cost less than 2gb but then again 2gb is much smaller

plus it comes with 2.50 already no use in getting homebrew now

“Impractical”?

It’s cheaper than something twice the capacity, and comes with a free battery. The load times are more than a memory stick obviously, yet faster than a UMD, making it better for PSP games.

For those who don’t want to empty their wallet for outrageously priced duos, and get the pluses of extra battery, space, and ability to use their own Compact Flash cards, there’s no contest.

Practical, and there’s a market for it. Pros and cons like every other alternative, stop trashing it to make yourself feel better about your duo purchase/s.

its huge. it would no loger fit inside the psp case.

An increase in size for a portable device is impracticle

 
Comment by samiam2389
2005-10-22 19:25:45

i would get this if you could get a larger microdrive but the review said that the psp couldn’t read the 8 gig microdrive. so that sucks

 
Comment by samiam2389
2005-10-22 19:28:54

my bad on #26 it was a 6 gig microdrive.

with the current firmwares the psp won’t recognize anything over 4gigs

“An increase in size for a portable device is impracticle”
That’s twice now, and the correct spelling has already been mentioned, sort it out.

Anyways, like I said, there is still a market for it, personally I’d sacrifice the use of the crappy case that comes with it for the money it’d be saving me. Others wouldn’t, don’t deem it impracticlelclcle because you wouldn’t want it.

“Thank you for being the grammar judge of the internet”

Haha. ~wipes tear from eye~

You’re just a combination of all the idiots of the internet into one, aren’t you? :P

Blind dismissal of a product, lack of response (other than repeating yourself) to criticisms of what you said, repeated poor spelling, finished up by a retort that ignores any real comments I made and suggests that I’m a grammar rather than spelling judge.

Please, carry on, this is gold.

yeah…thats photoshopped. sandisk wouldnt jump from 2 gig to 10 gig , it wouldnt make sense and the 320 dollar price is ridiculously low.

Also, that 4GB HDD is fucking huge, shitty, and uses extra battery life. Sony needs to make an offical HDD that’s slimmer, bigger, and uses less battery power in the future to compete with iPod Video. However, Sony has everyone beat in the portable gaming category right now. :D

all of you who don’t like he way it looks are homo, its about how it plays. i think the extra thickness would be good for me, cause i am not a little girl and i think i could still use it as a portable device.4 gb of space do you know how many movies that is.
hey #25 is it too big for you to carry, what are you 4 years old, thats your parents mistake they should have got you nintendogs.

I like it, but you all are right…. its too big… you cant fit it in your pocket OR the case that came with the psp. They need to find a better way to make these hard drives. Id rather buy the 2GB duo.

you can find a 2gb memory stick pro duo for $102 at tech_google in ebay. I got mine and it works just fine it just takes a little while to get here from Hong Kong.

I was wondering what some of the more mature members here do about dating. It seems much harder for older singles to find a mate, so I might be turning to online dating for older singles.
any suggestions? thanks.
