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

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.

87 mazduhh b2200, rusty as heck, smashed in the frount, almost 300k miles.
Burnt oil, hardly any brakes, backfired like a SHOTGUN
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/NathanEbert/truck03.jpg

$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 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)


and u spend friggin $260 on a damn gaming system. Invest wisely
