My first First.

Anyway, time for a creative comment.

This event seems like it could hold alot of great new content, but alas, it, like many other events, is held in America. Still, it'll be interesting to see what these "hot games" are like.

D: Another "first" guy... that's always an eyesore. Everyone please stop with the 'first's...

Could be interesting, I might even visit. The drive is about 5 hours from here, but is this convention even open to the public? I wonder.

I have a cousin with a PSP, and he has 4 little friends that do as well. I babysit two eight year olds, who each have a PSP. I know someone who's 16, but he hardly ever plays with his PSP.
6, 7... 8. That's 8 PSPs, which is about 50% of all PSPs ever sold.


PSP owners prefer games that don't involve complicated storylines and include lots of big explosions and shiny weapons.

My point is, the Playstation Port-o-potty doesn't have that many good games anyway.

Strangler is right, outside of psp forums or the psp updates, the psp has a fairly poor reputation. Windie, you can argue til you're blue in the head about how the system is supposedly great, but it doesn't have good rep...(or that good of sales..)
