Finally, I have a PSP, albeit phat

I was went window shopping yesterday when I spotted a PSP with Media Manager Pack selling for less than half price. Curiosity got the better of me because a) this particular department store that I went to is not known for cheap stuff, b) I don't really know what the Media Manager was, and c) the other PSPs were selling at retail price.

So I had a closer look at the box and discovered that the package contain the actual PSP + the value pack + media manager. The model number PSP-1000 printed on the box basically gave it away. This is the PSP phat. But I don't really care whether I have a phat PSP or the new slim PSP.

Excited, I went home and made sure that it is what I saw. With the good news confirmed, I happily went back today and bought the last one they had (there were two yesterday).

So now I am an excited owner of a PSP. I still love my DS. But now that love will have to be shared. Can anyone suggest any good 'must have' games on the PSP?

Old Games

Recently, I suddenly have the urge to play old games, like those made in the 90's. Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventure being one of them. I still remembered playing that, but can't remember exactly what happened in the game.

So here I am, playing it all over again on my 2 years old PC. There are plenty of old ones I wanted to re-visit as well:

- Gangsters
- Theme Park
- Theme Hospital
- Syndicates
- SimAnt
- SimTower
- Indy and the Fate of Atlantis
- ...

Man, I can't believe I've actually played that many games. Even more unbelievable that I wanted to play them AGAIN.

PlayAsia 15% off till Friday

PlayAsia is having another one of their irregular sales. This time it is their 15% off sales. Looks like with the economic crisis everywhere in the world, everyone is in a bit of a pinch here. PlayAsia seems to be feeling the crunch too, I'd say.

But someone's loss is another one's gain. Maybe I can finally get Metal Solid Gear 4 Special Edition.

Wii Fit, We Fit.

So I went to a friend's place yesterday to play the Wii Fit on his Wii, and boy, was it fun. Besides exercises, there are many mini-games. Two stood out. The first one is a Soccer head butt game. Basically you shift your weight from left to right in order to hit the incoming soccer ball, or dodge incoming shoes or panda head that looks like soccer balls. It was hilarious to see players getting hit by the shoes or panda heads.

The second one is Ski Jumping. Just like the real thing, you have to lean forward going down the hill, and then stand up on to 'jump' in the air, keep in balance and land. Absolute fun, especially when someone else fail some epically rolling down the hill instead.

2 days to go in the Play Asia sales

With only 2 days left in the Play-Asia 25% sales, what did you get? I've scored myself a Wii Remote, a Nunchuck. Both the Ghost Squad Zapper pack and House of the Dead Zapper pack unforunately sold out. The price is back to the normal price.

But I did manage to get Mario Strikers Charged, a DS Pouch and a DS screen protector before they went back to normal price. Now my DS (or what's left of it) is finally protected.

Hurry, only 2 days left in the sale. Grab whatever is left to get.

Animal Crossing on the Wii

Yep, Animal Crossing is coming out on the Wii. The DS version is the first game I've got on my DS. And I loved every second of it. Wii version is probably more of the same, but now comes with a city that you can actually visit, a chat room and an auction site. Interesting.

Looking forward to it.

GTA coming to the DS

So the extremely popular GTA series is making its round to the handheld. It's coming out on the DS. I thought it's a bit strange to release GTA: Chinatown Wars on the DS. Maybe it's because of its wide install base. But I thought over 50% of DS owners are females?

I thought PSP would have been more appropriate. Strange, that. But I guess whatever float the boat.
