It’s back up! Not sure what happened… maybe it got hacked, or perhaps someone forgot to pay the bill! that stuff just happens. Anyhow, all is back to normal. Thanks for the head’s up!

Sooo…. Where did sweetrot.com go??? I just looked it up because I need pictures for my end of the year art project (which I’m doing on JOE SIMKO, natch.) and some weird search engine comes up? What the heck gives??? Does anyone wanna tell me what happened? Ha.
If anyone even knows….. hit me up, I need to know NOW!

Oh no, there is definitely ghosting on my white PSP. You don’t notice it until you play a NES game though (the heavy black pixels smear and make the adjacent pixels darker when the screen is moving). I have no idea why the screen is supposed to be better.

The DS definitely has better games, but the PSP has: PSX emulation, better NES emulation, better Genesis emulation, CPS2 emulation, and MVS emulation (all of these are near perfect btw). Plus, by now I’ve played all the DS games I’m interested in and nothing too exciting has been coming out lately, so I’ve just been playing GBA games on it (which is an impressive library I had been missing out on).

Now that I can play DoDonPachi and, Gremlins 2, Progear, Alien Solider, and Rondo of Blood on my PSP, and I’ve modded the dpad so that it is as good as the dpad on the DS Lite, I’m actually favoring the PSP.

BTW, I keep forgetting to the mention that a primary reason for being interested in the white PSP isn’t a cosmetic one: the square button isn’t as mushy as the regular, black system. And for whatever retarded reason, Sony just won’t fix the problem so both systems control fine.

Mauro also mentioned how he had heard that the Japanese systems have better screens, and ther was zero ghosting with his system.

ShaperMC, are you there? You promised to help put an end to my desire for a PlayStation Portable! Where the hell are you?!?!

Actually they’ve had White PSPs in the UK for a while now.

It also costs around ?30 more than a black PSP (about $58) for no real reason apart from Sony Europe are complete bastards.

For a system that is supposedly floundering, its doing pretty well here in NYC. As I said, its all the ghetto kids favorite toy. Some actually play games with it, (as also previously mentioned, sports titles and almost nothing but), but most seem to use theirs as a mp3 player. One even tried making it a mini-makeshift ghetto box. Which was, you know, kinda ridiculous.

The PSP is a nice little system. I don’t like it as much as my DS but, I’ve been picking up some more games for it recently. Of course, the only people I’ve seen playing it around here are the really nerdy looking types. But, then again, I don’t live in New York(or LA for that matter) either. :p

Yeah, I’ve noticed the numbers change…. but also, I’m pretty busy right now, hence the short entry (spent most of late last night working on this tv show that I might be helping to develop). It’s also why I haven’t really checked what’s going on in gaming right now. So, have they released the UMD-less PSP yet or what?

Hey, I love deviled eggs, but the fact that I was two hours late and they hadn’t all been eaten by then made me cautious.

Is this entry short because you’re so busy right now or because the “Yes” poll responses are catching up to the “No” poll responses.
