So my excuse this time is that since last weekend I’ve got myself a Sony PSP. I got fed up with Sony moving the European launch date all the way to September 1st!!! A relative was visiting the USA so i got them to grab me a PSP.
Buying an out of region device often concerns folk but I think I know most of what I can and can’t do. Obviously I can’t buy any games yet here in the UK (well I can from some shops that import but sell them for over £45, that’s almost $90!!!). The unit itself is region 1 meaning I can only play Region1 UMD movies. As for games any unit can play any region game (no NTSC/PAL incompabilities obviously!) but apparently cross region games can’t be played against each other, so Ridge Racers (ASIA) can’t play Ridge Racers (USA) - I’ll be able to confirm this at a later date.
I had a right pain get the PSP to talk wirelessly to the net via my Linksys router and it appears I’m not the only person but I did in the end get it working after lots of tweaking on the router. So now, I have my PSP and only Wipeout Pure to keep me going - thankfully (thanks to dvdboxoffice.com) I’ve got Need for Speed on the way.
But before any of my work mates jump on here and say I can’t have played it much cos I’ve only needed to charge it once since I’ve gotten it - I’ll need to think of another excuse for not posting much!
