Game 7

With some extra money from a side project a picked up a Sony PSP yesterday. It seems like a powerful little device. It came with a demo disc with some movie trailers, games you couldn’t play 😛 and some music videos. The colour is amazing the sound seemed to vary depending on the media. I tried to get the web browser working at home with little success. Sigh. The Sony forums are unmoderated so they were of little help. Hopefully I’ll figure it out. The PSP is really just a vessel for content. By itself it does nothing. You can buy games and movies on their proprietary UMDs (universal media discs – one of the few aspects of the PSP that is super annoying… they have these great little discs with great storage capability but they don’t sell them so you can’t put your own content on them… bah…:P) so you have to buy a memory stick. The sticks max out at around 2G. The store I bought my PSP at was out of 2G sticks and had no idea when more would be in. Double BAH!! Hopefully the Tigerdirect in Etobicoke has these magical memory sticks … ‘cuz I can’t do anything with the PSP without one. (unless I buy games or movies of course at $50 a pop….) Seems like a bit of a money pit. But I’m looking forward to listening to MP3s and watching movies on it once I get my memory stick. Also looking to see what RPGs there are for the PSP… It would be a great little unit for long trips. More on the PSP adventure later.

Wow… Game seven of the Eastern Conference finals… winner plays for the Cup… does it get any better??!
