PSP
There are subtle hints of me owning a PSP in this blog. The fact that I have a PSP only and currently not update blog named “The PSP Port” is even more subtle.
I do have a PSP indeed, for a few months. I believe that this has been the best purchase I have ever done in terms of game console business, as it is my 1st and only. I have been an avid PC gamer. PCs are such delightful appliances that I have seen no need for a separate gaming solution. Then came the mobile era. Phones became mobile, PCs became mobile and finally information became mobile. I got my hands on some laptops ranging from a Pentium II IBM to a MacBook Pro. I could use those wherever I want, whenever my battery let me. But I couldn’t play games. I once played a few hours of WC3 I guess at an airport, but with power cables and mouse and all those bags, it was not feasible.
Then I learned about the PSP. It is mobile, as much as you thing. It has wireless capabilities, with a large screen. It can play movies, music and even surf the web. I miss a keyboard though. Although it is mobile and packed it is not like Nintendo DS. Nintendo DS reminds me of game watches, where we used to play the same game for years without getting bored because there were no alternatives. The games were dead boring and the problem was if we were going to be able to finish it every time we played.
Times have changed. Playing PSone games on an handheld for 5 hours on a single charge is commonplace. That is why I bought a PSP, that is why I am playing it. That is why I will fill these pages with games and news soon. Keep checking!
