Sony PlayStation Portable (and Retro Revival Week)

Eddie the Wolf's Cool Crew
Hey folks!
As the title suggests, I am now a proud owner of a PSP. :) I found one on eBay for $80, and I love it to death! As of now I have three PSP games (Lumines, GTA: Vice City Stories, and Jeanne d'Arc) with three more on the way thanks to my good buddy HartKnight (Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, Daxter, and Every Extend Extra). In the meantime, I plan to invest in an 8 GB memory stick I found on Amazon for $20. It was the one thing that was lacking when I got the system. Another issue is that it doesn't charge internally, but a separate charger and an extra battery were included in the package. It may be a bit of an annoyance, but I'll manage.
So why a PSP at this time? When the system came out, I was solely interested in the DS. There were a couple from the high school I attended that had a PSP, and I recall seeing Lumines played. As cool as the game was, it wasn't enough to warrant an interest in one. Then again, I just never cared for anything PlayStation related until the PS3. Then a couple of weeks ago, I listened to a podcast from Retronauts, and they reminisced over Sony's handheld. Listening to them talk about it made me very interested in getting one, and there were plenty of games for it. When they mentioned about how easy it was to crack the PSP's firmware for emulators, a thought had occurred to me! If I look at the system more closely, it's practically a Sega Dreamcast handheld! XD Oh man, I can imagine the eyes rolling by this statement. Even though it lacks a right thumbstick, I'm sure to work around it especially with the observation I made with the handheld. lol Plus, I have a Phantasy Star itch to scratch as there were only two Phantasy Star Portable games developed for the PSP.
If you folks are curious, here is a wish list of the games I hope to purchase for the PSP. It looks like I'll have my fill of RPGs, and that's fine by me. :) I think RPGs are well-suited for handhelds especially for those long road trips. And if you have any recommendations, feel free to send them my way!
PlayStation Portable Wish List
Anyway, that's about it with the PSP. I'm still keen on doing this Retro Revival Week business I had mentioned in the previous update. I plan to go over some of the details with a couple of friends who have participated in it a long time ago. There isn't anything new at this time but stay tuned for more info in the weeks to follow. :) I project to start this Monday, March 21st. Here's hoping this goes well. ^^
Anyway, that's all for this small update. PSP awesome stuff abound! =D
