About 2 weeks ago I finally cracked and bought myself a PSP. I’m a little slow on the informing because, well for one I’ve been playing the crap out of Patapon and two I’ve been a bit bogged down with school work. But that’s ok, here I am.

When I bought it I was at home on my Spring Break/Reading Week and was having a really craptacular day, and went out and bought Patapon so that I would one day be able to play it. So I’m sitting there with a game I can’t play, and really wanted to play so with a little prodding from my mother of all people I went and bought a PSP for myself, the shiny, sexy silver Daxter package. Then I probably made way too big a deal out of buying it and had to assure myself it’s ok to buy things for yourself, just because I’m a starving University student and am always prepared for the apocalypse of my life shattering down on me. But I now have a PSP and I love it.

But there are only a few problems, for me there really isn’t a lack of games, there are lots of titles I would like to play. At the moment I only have the two games Daxter and Patapon which I’m content with since they’re both fun, I’ll find more games when I’m through with them. But that’s my problem there are lots of games I want to play, but I’ll be damned if I can ever find one! Lumines… no luck. Me and My Katamari? Even EB Games/Game Stop doesn’t have it on their website anymore. Loco Roco? I’ve only ever seen it in one store. So what the hell? I’m really glad I bought Patapon the day it came out or I may never see it again. Where are all the games? I don’t know, but I guess I’ll just keep looking. But I’m super psyched for Crisis Core! I think the system would be worth it for me for just Crisis Core and Patapon.

Ok I have to digress here for a sec, why does Japan get all the wicked sweet stuff!? Like the Crisis Core PSP bundle, sigh I want *pets screen*. Oh well maybe one day…


But there’s really so much more to the PSP than just games. I can use it as an mp3 player, watch movies (which I find useless to buy them, but you can), and I can access the internet on campus without lugging my laptop. But as for the movie thing, I find it excessive to buy UMD movies, but with the proper video file conversion I’m able to play my own movies. Now I can watch episodes of Cowboy Bebop between classes! And that makes me happy! The PSP has the ability to fill most of my needs on one compact machine. Not to mention it is one aesthetically pleasing piece of technology.

But my new interest is not meant to downplay my DS. The DS is great too, and has a lot of titles coming out soon that I’m really interested in. Harvest Moon DS Cute (with Plushie!), Professor Layton and World Ends With You just to mention a few. And I’m actually really glad I have both now, and that they both have title’s I want because now I can flip back and forth between two styles of games/game play/console ability which is what I think I was lacking before.


If only this would actually happen, I would be golden for life!

Katamari on the ds would be fun, but I think it would be better on the Wii.
Congrats. The PSP is sweeeeeet!!!
You should try and visit videogamesplus.ca. They have a few nice bargains for the PSP most of the time.

I bought a couple of Capcom's early releases plus Outrun 2006 there for a great price. I would recommend you take a look at those compilations and remakes as they usually give you the most bang for your buck, but most and foremost BUY PUZZLE QUEST!!

Now completely on another note, Pleeeease tell me where I can find a higher res version of that picture of Gum you have looking at me all the time I'm writing this.
Check around Toys'R'Us, there are some great games that you can pick up from there for cheep. There were a few months ago at least, and they constantly cycle. I do suggest getting custom firmware, and ripping all of your UMD's to .iso (it's not hard, it's in the options to mount the UMD when you click USB, and it shows the .iso file), you'll save yourself a lot of battery, load times, and awkward disc spin sounds in class. :P
You should try Pursuit Force Extreme Justice, the first one is hard as hellfire but the sequel is fantastic, a lot more fun and much more user friendly.
also buy god of war:chains of olympus it's awesome.
oh and custom firmware ,DO IT!
Thanks for the feedback guys!

@guagloves: I don't have a Wii at the moment, only my dads, but actually I could totally see it. If you held the wii mote horizontal and tipped it to move the Katamari, it would be wicked sweet.

@Alcochetano: I will check that site, thanks so much! And I got the picture of Gum from Deviantart. The user's name is robotnicc, they have some other really neat stuff and more JSRF/JGR art. Or PM me and I can send you some stuff...

@Ichigo: That's awesome I'll definitely look into that. Hehe but I try not to play it in class thus far!

Kyousuke: I'll look into it thanks!
Thank you again Alcochetano for the awesome wallpaper!
So my ipod got stolen out of my car and I was left with a gaping void in my life that I decided to fill with a psp. I have not regretted it yet as I am completely impressed by both the graphics and gameplay. It came with Tony Hawk Project 8 and underground 2 remix, mlb the show 07, and rainbow six vegas. Then I bought crisis core and metal gear acid 2. It's good to find someone else who is as stoked about a psp purchase as I am! Cheers to us
