When it come to entertainment on the go, a smartphone like my SX1 can be fun, but after playing Tetris until level 15 your mind feels like it shut down hours ago while your fingers autonomously hit away as they’ve done for hours. At night, as you attempt to sleep you close your eyes only to see more blocks falling down at a slow rate and you cannot help but play out various and complex Tetris scenarios with them. Even in your nonvoluntary fantasy you long for a long one to drop down so you can complete the rows you’ve been saving up meticulously.

In order to avoid losing sleep over Tetris blocks, I decided to purchase a Sony PSP™ yesterday.

Design by Shi Ogasawara, you can’t help but hold the console like a sacred perkament. It comes with a stand in case you feel compelled to put it in a trophy case and also comes with cleaning cloth so you can clean it after every time you touch it. It’s shiny like that.

The user interface is very intuitive and looks exactly like what you’d expect from a fantastic media center operating system. It’s flawless in my humble opinion. To input text you use a T9-like system like your phone and the browser cursor can be controlled with the analogue controller.

The only thing that sucketh on the PSP is the sound. It’s excruciatingly quiet. There is an AVLS (Automatic Volume Limiter System) that you can turn off to get a little more juice, but that’s about it.

Other than the sound, it’s a superb and very fun gaming system.

Anywho…I’m off to kill some pedestrians in Liberty City
