So now the move is complete to the new Blogger interface (my end, not your end).

It turns out that my comments are supposed to be moderated, so posting a comment would only go into a queue for my approval. I probably enabled that after Andrew posted something stupid. Anyway, old comments are back up, and now there’s a flag when I log in to approve new comments. Hooray!

Back to my PSP discussion. They’re trickling out information about the new 3.0 firmware (which was updated to 3.01 less than 24 hours after release). PlayStation 1 games will be available for download ranging from $5.99-$10.99. As I said before, I am willing to pay for some games I’ve already played, but I won’t pay the PS3’s $700 pricetag for such a privilege.

I have to start working on my Christmas wish list, and for the first time in years, I’ll have a few video games on there. Right now I’m trying to see if there’s a really good RPG available, although I feel like shopping for one is like I’ve already given up on downloading Final Fantasy VII.

As it turns out, the PSP doesn’t have any spectacular RPGs. Sony’s PS1 and PS2 are the King Consoles of RPGs. It’s hard to find any reviews that give the PSP games more than 6.5/10. It would also seem that there are 2-3x as many RPGs in Japanese than in English. Understandable, but still irritating. Maybe I should just learn Japanese.

I need another car racing game. Wipeout Pure is great, but the UMD case broke. That’s not the only reason - after all, Need For Speed: Carbon looks pretty sweet. Stupid how I still have all of my 15 year old NES cartridges, but the PSP cartridge can’t last 6 months without breaking. I’ve read a tutorial on how to fix it, but I need to stop playing Katamari just long enough to try.
