Congratulations! You have unlocked: PSP
So yeah thanks to the super special magical Lumines trick, I have haxed my PSP to hell and back so I can now play NES/SNES/Genesis/etc games on it, not to mention .isos of PSP and PS1 games themselves.
Terranigma on the go! Super Mario 3 in the bathtub! Shining Force in the dentist's chair! Xenogears at McDonald's!
Oh, and getting to play Japanese games without having to import them and pay out the ass? Priceless. As in literally lacking in price.
Actually, I'm not all that big on pirating games simply because if I even remotely like a game, I like to have the box/manual/a hard copy of the game itself. However, import games tend to be very expensive and considering I can't fully enjoy them until I have a better understanding of Japanese, those are usually the exceptions.
However, I'm currently downloading a bunch of PSP games just to try them out, and if any of them strike my fancy I'll definitely be purchasing them for a legit copy. I like to support the industry, even if it's a druggie/dealer kind of relationship sometimes XD
Anyway, my love for portable gaming knows no bounds, so getting to play all these classics on the go, or just snuggled up on the couch, is like heaven to me :3
So, if anyone out there is on the fence about getting a PSP, right now the getting is pretty good, considering the price drop of the console itself and the fact that even I was able to downgrade and install custom stuff easily. Just try not to pay outrageous prices for Lumines, a used game shop or even your local EB/Gamestop is probably your best bet. Amazon and eBay are way too expensive due to the hype over the discovered exploit in the game.
I think the saddest part is that I actually haven't even played this copy of Lumines I bought yet, I just got it for the downgradin'. I hear it's pretty good though.
In other news, I'm having a blast with Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition, and I'm eagerly awaiting Connecticon coming up next weekend with both excitement and fear. I mean, this IS an anime convention we're talking about here, but it's always an amusing weekend at the very least.
