PlayStation Portable
Monday, June 27th, 2005You know, loving gadgets I guess it wasn’t hard for one of my friends to sucker me into buying the PSP. I’ve had it 2 months now, and I have one game 
The one game that came in the box… (to be fair I’ve ordered 3 more, 1 for me, 1 for the kid and 1 for the both of us … maybe 
)
But what is so GREAT about it is… these people have managed to make their own programs run on it! Of course Sony’s shitting their pants – but I love it. I can now have homemade games (like Casino Addict, and Rick Dangerous) for free… aswell as other system emulators! That’s right, the little PlayStation that could can now emulate GameBoy, GBAdvanced, Super Nintendo, Turbo Grafx-16, Sega Genesis and a whole bunch of other systems. What is so great about that is that as a “gamer” I can finally try out lots of old but good games that ;
1. I never had a system to use on (come on, as a kid I had limited funds, and so did my parents – the C64 was enough)
2. I can enjoy games/systems that never was available in my country (being only 4 million people makes us not a very attractive market for struggling businesses).
3. I don’t need to pay! Now this would border on Piracy (I know I know) but the fact is I would 99.9% certainly never have spent a dime on any of these systems/games anyways because I simply can’t be arsed to play a game for that long. The only games I’ve spent a good deal of time on since 1992 has been a few co-ops or head-2-head games along a few good friends.
