The PlayStation Phone Finally Previewed and Tested – Dead Sexy or Dead on Arrival?

Dave Oshry of RipTen: Now, although the PlayStation phone is indeed quite cool - it’s not for me. I like to keep my gaming devices and phones separate.

CrzyFooL4838d ago

I'd rather have a PSP2 and an awesome phone than a flimsy gaming phone. They said it even has the Oreo effect where it slides around while closed. Also, what is with the 'touch' thumbsticks - I'm sorry but I'm not sold on this.

Ryudo4838d ago

Yep unless they give this phone access to PSN and all the PSP games on the store there it doesn't really interest me at all.

Hitman07694838d ago

I'd much rather have the PSP2 also but I am coming around to the idea of the PS Phone as well.

Ju4838d ago

What's up with the hate. I mean, anybody wants a GalaxyS? Would trade it for that. Not that it's any better - besides 2.3 - but it's not worse either. And it has buttons and Playstation games. Sure no Altrix, but that why one would get a PSP2 for anyway.

specialguest4838d ago (Edited 4838d ago )

I'm seriously considering selling my Galaxy S for this PS Phone. PS Phone might be slightly higher in specs, but it's the slide out controlpad that I'm sold on. I'm still waiting for more info on this phone though.

silvacrest4838d ago

not sure if you read my earlier comments but i'll say it again

the haters want this to fail only so the PSP2 can have all the spot light, nevermind that this is still a sony device and they can coexist

this blog didn't even bother to mention that engadget had a prototype version and that we shouldn't judge it to harshly,

also, the guy was so biased god knows why he even bothered giving it a run down

IcarusOne4838d ago

Those touch sticks are either the Achilles heel or the trojan horse. But I'm not that interested. I agree with the author - I prefer to keep my phones and gaming devices separate.

Invadersims4838d ago

I want a really nice phone and a really nice mobile gaming device. I don't want something that's decent at both.

I still have a flip phone from like 2007 and want to get something more modern. While this looks like it could be pretty damn awesome, let's see how it works out when it's released.

joydestroy4838d ago

i would wait for a Tegra 2 powered dual core device before i'd jump on this. it may not have those controls, and it may not have playstation games, but graphically and performance wise a Tegra 2 device would kill this easily.

if i were you, i'd get said device and a PSP2 and call it a day. just my opinion, of course.

Trroy4838d ago (Edited 4838d ago )

He'd like to keep his gaming devices and phone separate...

He likes to carry as many little devices around as possible? Wierd.

I actually see this phone as something of an upgrade to the PSP Go. If my PSP Go would work as an Android phone... well that would be really awesome.

CrzyFooL4838d ago

I agree - but this thing does not look as sturdy as the PSPgo even. How about a PSP2 that could make calls . . .yeahhhhh

I think the PSP was weird in itself. I mean the tech was cool and all with the UmD, but Sony often pushes its own media with their consoles and doesn't always find success. The memory stick duo was and is expensive as hell.

brettnll3146d ago

I agree. What a weird idea lol. Seems like they were mainly just trying to be unique.

parentsbasement3146d ago

I wouldn't call any of that "weird"....the book thing maybe...

brettnll3146d ago

It's not always the device that's the weird part. Could also be the timing (PSP Go) and the lack of marketing (PSTV). Makes you really wonder what was the point of following through with releasing these things. Xperia phone could have been something special, then Sony didn't fully support it. WHY!? lol. Just weird.

Wonderbook is weird, but that easy platinum though!

WitWolfy3146d ago

I cant get over this dudes comb over.

brettnll3145d ago

Comb over? Never heard that before lol =]

dkrusen873145d ago

I used to own a psp..first 1000 then 2000 then 3000 then after that I had a psp go and then I finally got a ps vita brand new..then lost that and the later in the year or month got a new used version of the Vita...so the journey has been really out there for me for the systems I used to own..all of them were great in there own special way..

The Top 8 Android Phones of 2013 | The Hardcore Gamer’s Guide to Android Phones

Even as the power of mobile devices is outpacing Moore’s Law, and graphics power seems to double every year, it’s a sad fact that phones simply aren’t marketed toward gamers. Walk into a phone store and ask a rep about a phone’s CPU. If you’re lucky, they might tell you how many cores it has, but getting a real idea about a phone’s performance is going to require some independent research. Even then, not everything is equal. Chips grouped under the same family are sometimes radically different on the inside, and even a savvy shopper might be surprised to find his phone comes up short. We’re here to cut through the nonsense and give you some straight talk about which phones are best when games matter most.

For anyone using iOS, I suggest you try the stock android experience offered with the nexus 4. I used to prefer iOS but android has more customization and very recently competitive build quality.
