My Red PSP
23 June 2008, mid-morning
I wish my site was easier to search, because then I could link to all the comments I’ve made in the past making fun of the PSP. (I think my comments can probably be summed up thusly: the PSP was the console you bought if you wanted to play Lumines — and that’s about it. Oh snap!) Despite my making fun of it, the PSP soldiered on. There are two games I really wanted to play that were only available on the PSP: Crisis Core and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. And now that they are both out, the weekend seemed as good a time as any to buy a PSP. I have a red one. The fact they aren’t $400 anymore was a nice bonus. For now I’m enjoying Gods of War: Chains of Olympus: mindless button mashing is makes the subway ride to work fun.
You too, eh? Wound up with one the other week, although mine’s old school black. There are a number of great games out now that I’m going to play / am playing (FF tactics, Patapon, the MGS games, the Syphon Filter games, flow, echochrome etc.) and the best thing is a lot of them are for $20.
The PSP was the top selling console in Japan for a couple months there, until MGS 4 came out. But unfortunately they don’t port a lot of the japanese games.

Right now the PSP is outselling the DS in japan because of the release of Monster Hunter 2. When my coworker went to Japan a month or so ago he said wherever he went people were playing Monster hunter.

It was outselling everything at one point, including the Wii. And yeah I guess Capcom is putting out new DLC every week for Monster Hunter, which sounds crazy awesome.
