PSP gets v4.00 update

Abby McVay, Jun 17th 2008 Discuss [2]

Google is a tool that frankly, if all electronics died, I would wander around aimlessly muttering incoherently about the days of Google. I had no idea how bad I was until I decided to spend a weekend without electronics and practically started twitching when I had no way to prove I was right about some random debate. Luckily PSP fans will no longer be without their Google, as long as they have their trusty PSP. Read The Full Story

Crash – Mind Over Mutant coming this fall

Abby McVay, Jun 12th 2008 Discuss [0]

Crash Bandicoot is about to make yet another appearance, most of us haven't played it since Crash's days on the PS1. Although some ended it with the racing game (Crash Tag Team Racing), which wasn't exactly exciting. It excelled at being overly mediocre. Read The Full Story

Gelaskins branches out into gaming with the DS and PSP

Abby McVay, Apr 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

Recently it was announced that Colorware is now customizing PSPs but as much as I love playing on their website I could never afford one. I know that for many that is a common issue, well Gelaskins has a much cheaper alternative. Read The Full Story

Mario Kart Wii outsold by erotic PSP game in Japan this week

Chris Scott Barr, Apr 18th 2008 Discuss [1]

We all know that Mario Kart Wii has been almost as highly-anticipated as Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii. It managed to sell over 300,000 copies on launch day over in Japan. However, it was bested this week in sales by a pair of bouncy breasts. Read The Full Story

Sony HandyCam HDR-TG1 (or TG3 in Europe) – shiny, but does it work?

James Allan Brady, Apr 3rd 2008 Discuss [1]

Things I like about this camera: the up to 1080i recording resolution, the shiny exterior, the fact that it comes with 4GB of storage. Things I don’t like about this camera: the 4GB of storage come on a Memory Stick PRO Duo card and the AVCHD recording codec. Read The Full Story

PSP Slim can take a beating

Chris Scott Barr, Apr 1st 2008 Discuss [0]

One of the reasons why I love my Nintendo DS so much is that I know that it's going to take a beating. I know this because I've dropped it more times than I can count. I'm a bit clumsy and have a tendency to destroy my less sturdy gadgets, which is why I tend to pick out ones that will hold up over time. Apparently I should add the PSP Slim to that list. The guys over at BrokenReview decided to see how well the PSP Slim held up under some pretty nasty circumstances. In the end, they realized that Sony's portable console holds up well against most normal situations, and still goes on playing games even after being severely abused. It's no Panasonic Toughbook, but it holds up well enough. Read The Full Story

Modder adds analog sticks to PSP

Chris Scott Barr, Apr 1st 2008 Discuss [0]

I've always kind of wondered why Sony didn't bother putting analog sticks on the PSP. That would be like not putting rumble in the PS3 controllers. Oh wait. For those of you that own a PSP and have a strong desire to use such controls, it is possible, though it will take some hard work to achieve. Read The Full Story

Nine year old jacked for her PSP – this is not a joke

James Allan Brady, Mar 12th 2008 Discuss [4]

In what is quite possibly the funniest and most horrible thing I’ve heard all day a 9-year old girl was kicked by an older (16-18) year old boy only to have her PSP taking. It’s literally as easy as taking candy from a baby. Am I a horrible person for laughing at this story? Probably, but not near as horrible as the boy from Great Hollands, Bracknell who committed the act on Monday. Read The Full Story

Chris Scott Barr, Mar 6th 2008 Discuss [2]

However, in the case of Skype support for the PSP, Japan is still waiting around on it. Don't worry though, they're finally getting it later this month. Read The Full Story
