new toy
 
I splurged and bought the Sony PSP it was 170$ plus a 1 gig stick for 30$ and a warrenty for 2 years and a game for 30$... I think this is so cool. I have had the original game boy, game boy colour, game boy advance, game gear... but this is the best yet. I posted on my other forum from it. it is having issues on mshop because of the pics on the header.. wonder how I can turn those off..

soo worth the 260$ I just blew on it

I need to figure out how to put files on it now

I thought you were going to say you got that VW. Anyways, did you try the DS? If so, what threw you to by the PSP? I need to buy one or the other in the next month or so (lots of road trips planned this summer).

pfft the one I went and looked at yesturday was rattier than I expected.. plus it was a fat chick super..

I've played with my friends DS. its alright.. only game I like is Brain age and the mario..

I was at wal mart (with three 1:24 scale VW's in my arms... ) and saw the display for the PSP.. new low price of 169.99. So I was like.. sold.. Guy got me one, reccomended need for speed carbon(which is cool) and a 1 gig memory stick.. I think I spent.. 258$ total for the bundle..

What drove me to get one was everytime I go to the warehouse where I work my boss, and the two other guys have PSPs and when we wait for a truck to show up they whip them out and play if their is nothing else to do.. I would just sit their..

I just put some pics on it, neat background, some music and need for speed carbon is in the tray or w/e.. Ill figure out how to put movies as the UMD movies seem pointless (but I want office space for it)

Not many real good games on that brick. I've got a DS and there have been a bunch of good games (but also a bunch of kiddy krap). Get Puzzle Quest...it's on DS and PSP. Nifty lil game. Thanks to all the kiddy krap though I bought a "movie player" that allows me to download the games instead of shelling out 40 bucks for every one.

I think on PSP with the newer firmwared versions you can't play emulators or anything on them anymore. Doh.

I think the neat thing about the PSP is I can surf the web as long as I have a wifi signal. Which is about everywhere I go. The game choices are limited I'd say for the PSP but the ones I saw I might buy eventually. The nintendo has always been the one with the more child oriented games nto that its bad but sometimes paper mario just doesnt.. cut it

I wish I had time to play video games. I still have N64, havn't used it in at least 6 months.:D Still works fine!

Don, I though you were going to say you go that macbook youve been eyeing.....



Sweet deal. I had two different ones in a span of 6 days. Both had multiple stuck pixels. Decided it was not worth the trouble, and got my money back.... Hows the screen? any bad pixels?


Ahhh... Time to get a PS3. I got my PS3, and my buddy brought over his and his bros PSPs..... Pretty sweet deal there.

TheDon 06-01-2007 04:55 PM

my parents are getting me the mid level macbook as a graduation gift in the coming week or two. No stuck pixels.. Surf n Turf has a PS3 next time im there I want to check it out.

TheDon 06-02-2007 01:55 PM

I graduated... You bought 3 cars for like.. 260$... kind of a deal youve got there.. Why would I need to redeem my status.. I have a fire extinguisher on the way

Nate 06-02-2007 02:09 PM

87 mazduhh b2200, rusty as heck, smashed in the frount, almost 300k miles.
Burnt oil, hardly any brakes, backfired like a SHOTGUN

$40 plus beer, 2 years ago. Sold for $150 2 months later

96 Grand am. Nice car, minus the damage from where the chick (REALLY HOT) smoked a tree with it. bought it for $200 (no pics)
Smelled like chick:kiss: Sold it for $400 3 days later

95 scort. Ok little beater, not rusty, but lots of little issues. And a bent control arm from where they pwned a curb with it.
bought for $75, have about $500 into it. Nice little in town runner (5 speed)
Currently getting a new clutch and trans (REAL close to getting it done)
Will sell to my cousin for $500 before I leave for basic. She needs a car, so, yeah

With gas how it is, people'd pay a premium for it (mabey upwords of a grand)
