This is my PSP blog.
We went to Game Stop today and I picked out 2 games. Untold Legends: Warriors Code and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.
They were both used so I got a good price, Untold Legends was $12.99 and Ratchet and Clank was $14.99. Because I had a $25 gift card I only had to pay $5.01 extra. It’s nice to get a new game but these don’t scratch very easily so used PSP games aren’t a big deal. I usually keep my games in their cases so they never get scratched.
I can’t wait to play these new games.
It’s not what you think. WTF stands for Work Time Fun. I got this game last night because I have been extremely bored. I can’t crochet anymore and all the games I have I’ve played and even though I’m not finished with them I wanted something new. I still have that $25 gift card for Game Stop but I don’t know when I’ll be able to use it so until then I got this.
It was only $9.99 at the PlayStation Store and it has all these mini games inside it like counting chicks for example. There are 3 types of chicks. Male, Female and Dead lol. You push the chicks over with the right arrow button on the left side of the PSP then you decide where it goes. If it’s a female chick you press the X, if it’s male you press the O and if it’s dead you press the triangle and it goes to heaven.
There is also a game called Pendimonium (I think that’s the name) where you work in a pen factory and you have to put the caps on pens. But some come out upside down so you have to turn it right side up, put the cap on it then go to the next one.
Yeah, it does strain your eyes and it does seem to be strange but oddly addictive.
One of the games is similar to frogger, you have to get this little guy safely to the other side and keep him from getting hit by a car and you gotta eat the mushrooms in the road along the way. Yeah, you have to be doing mushrooms to play this one lol.
There is a baseball one which I am terrible at and a boxing game where all you do is press the x button many times but I never win that one.
Oh talk about winning, WTF is like a job, you have to “go to work” by doing these mini games and you get a paycheck depending on what tasks you’ve done. Since I just got the game I’m not that far into it so I can’t explain what you get in this game but one of the things I saw from YouTube is you get this fun little thing that is eyeballs and from what I’ve seen on YouTube that is really fun especially for parties lol.
I haven’t been able to get to Game Stop yet to use my $25 gift card that I got from e-rewards because we haven’t gone to the mall yet. I don’t want to make a special trip just for this.
I went to Game Stops website to check what they have and to see if it’s in stock or not but I’m sure by the time I get there those games won’t be there anymore. So… I guess I have to just wait until we get there to see what they have.
I would like Untold Legends (1 of the 2) or Ratchet and Clank. That game has a Daxter look to it, graphics wise that is. I do plan on buying used though because it doesn’t matter to me if it’s new or used, they don’t get scratched up like a regular CD or DVD does.
I was hoping that they would have either the GPS or the Camera available by the time I got this but even if it was available I don’t have the money to cover the rest of the cost of it. At least with used games I can get a couple, or a few depending on the cost. And if it goes over by a couple of dollars I can certainly cover that. I wouldn’t ever buy a movie only because I would probably only watch it once, there are only so many movies I’d watch over and over again.
Well Sony finally finished the PlayStation store for the PSP. Instead of buying stuff on their website they gave everyone Media Manager for PSP 3.0. I bought Media Manager for PSP 2.0 for $20 or $25, I forgot. But I guess it’s ok because this is an upgrade and I don’t have to pay to upgrade it.
If you have a PSP you don’t need to use this to buy and download games. All you do is just go online with the PSP and go to the PlayStation Store. That is if you have WiFi access at home. If you don’t then you don’t have any other choice than to use the Media Manager with a USB cable. However if you want to buy/rent movies or tv shows you can only download them using the Media Manager. They don’t offer this feature on the PSP. I’ve been looking at it since the firmware update.
The only problem with this is that in order to buy a lot of the games or movies/tv shows you must have more than just 1GB memory stick. They offer 16GB from San Disk now and they really aren’t that much money. Some games and movies are more than just 1GB so you must have a 4GB, 8GB or 16GB memory stick for those. The good news is that you can transfer games/movies/tv shows to your computer or maybe to a dvd-r and when you aren’t going to play the games or watch the movies etc you can just delete them from your memory stick so you can make room for other things. Or if you have a disposable income just buy many memory sticks.
Well I guess the new firmware update for the PSP was yesterday, I guess I missed it. I’ve been so focused on the PlayStation Store website on the PC that I didn’t even notice that it is already on the PSP. It’s so awesome too because now when I want to download a demo, wallpaper or game or whatever they have all I have to do is turn on the PSP and go right there. I no longer have to plug my PSP into the computer to download it.
They also added a cool new keyboard instead of having 12 buttons like a phone where you have to press each button 4 times to get 1 letter like you do with a cell phone. So annoying. Now the new keyboard thing makes more sense. To use the symbols and go caps all you do is click the shift button. Like the old style the triangle button is your space key and the square button is the delete. Below is a picture I took of the new keyboard.
Wow I just read on the PlayStation Blog that the PlayStation Portable is going to get a firmware upgrade to 5.0 which will allow you to go to the PlayStation Store using the PSP to buy and download games, demos, wallpaper, themes etc. All you have to do is sign in to your account and they keep your credit card info so you just buy something and you don’t need to worry about entering your credit card info. Which is actually dangerous unless you have a very good password with at least 20 digits with random letters, numbers and symbols.
Ok so I just went to the PlayStation Store website and it says that the website is going to be down until late October cause they are totally redesigning the website so you can download to your PSP or PS3. How will they make any money if their website isn’t operational for 2 weeks? LOL.
Wow I just read the full blog and they are also adding a full keyboard for texting instead of like a phone. That’s pretty cool and I can’t wait for that. It will make texting on the PSP much easier I think. They are also adding a sleep timer that can be used for playing music on the PSP. I am not quite sure what that means, maybe if you set it for 1 hour then in 1 hour the PSP goes into sleep mode so you don’t waste your battery. Like if you must have music on when you go to bed. I actually like that idea because I do like to hear music when I go to sleep but don’t want it to run all night.
Sci Fi channel has come out with a new website for gamers. They seem to cover every platform, genre and every thing related to gaming.
I try to look at everything for the PSP. I just want to read everything I can about new updates and the future of the PlayStation Portable such as new features like when they added Skype and Internet radio. This website doesn’t seem to have anything after July 2008 and right now it’s near the end of September. I don’t really see this being a major source of news for me for the PSP right now but it is nice to have another source of news for the game system I love.
Lego Batman finally came to Game Stop yesterday and was sold today. I pre-ordered it on May 1st this year and it was supposed to be available on September 2nd but they pushed it back to September 23rd for some reason. That’s ok. it’s cool. I got it now. Although it was kinda depressing that I got it on Chips birthday because I feel that I got a present on his birthday. Not fair right? He should be getting the present not me.
Oh well, if you read my previous post he will be getting another present soon.
There are only 2 more days until Lego Batman is at Game Stop. That’s Tuesday morning. Hmm, since I’m blogging this at 9:30 at night, tomorrow is Monday and I will probably get the phone call at lunch time on Tuesday, that should mean there is only a day and half left.
I pre-ordered this in May so I’ve waited all summer for this so I guess you can say I’m pretty excited the day is finally coming. I really love the Lego series of PSP games. I have Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones so now I’m adding Lego Batman. I really hope they don’t stop after this, that they give us more in the Lego series.
I’m hoping for Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Spiderman, Superman and or the Justice League.
Wow. I never knew how fun this game would be. I guess it’s the Star Wars version of Socom. I tried the demo of Socom Navy Seals but I couldn’t get into it but if you add some rebel soldiers and a wookie then perhaps I’d like it better hehe.
At first Darth Vader kept killing me but I’ve learned to avoid him at all costs. I hear him breathing in a cave but rarely see him anymore. I can win the levels that are on a planet (well, 50/50) but when I’m flying in space I have less of a chance of winning for some reason. It’s harder to fly a spaceship and shoot because no matter what your spaceship is always flying. You can’t stop flying to focus your fire on the other ships weapons or shields or whatever. You have to shoot then fly up or down or whatever, fly away for a bit then come back and shoot some more.
I played it for about 2 hours straight this afternoon and my eyes are so blurry from it because I start out with the PSP near my stomach then next thing I know it’s near my face. That’s when I know I have to stop for a bit when it’s near my face and my eyes can barely see it with my glasses on and I have to start using the bifocal part of my glasses to see then those get too blurry lol. It’s time to put it in stand by mode for a while.
