 | PSP launches tomorrow- who is getting it?
I know, I posted this in the gadget and gizmos forum too, but it is a sweet gadget. As you know, unless you have lived under a rock the last year, the Sony Playstaion Portable (PSP) is launching tomorrow. My question is, who is getting it? I know i am.

| Cool. Didn't know they had a value pack. The thought of another MS and Sony crap headphones made me queezy, ok the thought of another Sony propietory device does that too me. I would like a PSP for playing videos, but not games, so its current price is much more then I want to pay.
Is this the same value pack for $399:  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...395001?v=glance
Make sure you get up bright and early.  PS2s sold out the first morning where I live.

| Gamestop (Micronesia Mall, Guam) opened at 8AM (5PM EST) today for those who had pre-ordered the PSP. I arrived at around 9AM and was able to talk to some of the people in the store. Apparently, they confirm that the Spiderman 2 UMD does not work with the Japanese PSPs. Some of the people at the store were also saying that there are two versions of Japanese PSPs -- the later ones being not able to play North America released games. I was able to borrow a Wipeout Pure UMD. After seeing that it worked with my Japanese PSP, I got one ($47.50 over here). I also showed off Ridge Racers, which I believe is not available until later.
At least for the Micronesia Mall branch, there were about 300 pre-orders. There were a lot of varied accessories like game cases, face armors, and disk jackets. Some of the games that I saw available were: WipeOut Pure, Spiderman 2, Dynasty Warriors, and Need For Speed: Underground Rivals. I was told that Untold Legends will be coming in later today.
The customers I saw ranged from a uniformed armed forces officer to moms swinging by to get a unit before heading off to work. No kids are usually out in the mall this early during Spring Break. originally posted in my blog  | |

| Did they get in trouble?
Here's an accessory I thought was quite lame, but then I relized it was only meant for movie and music playback: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/p...CONTENTID=10183
My first thought was how the freak would I hold a PSP with these attatched.

| They be cheating, just like that store that prematurely released Halo2.
Remember how Halo 2 was supposed to be the biggest and baddest game ever and after people played it, they all went eh?!

| My friend bought one this morning, he only needed to wait in line for a few minutes. I'm going to check one out at my friends store later.
Sony Memory Sticks. *vomits* At least they're priced more realistically now.

Anyway, I bought mine today.

I love this thing! Sony, you still have a chance.
