PSP: (Sniff, Sniff!) I guess this is the end

Oh well it was good while it lasted........

I guess every Tom Dick ,Harry and Sally will now have a PSP and the "I'm the only one" feeling will be no more ..

No more stares from onlookers on the Tube

No more crowds forming around you

No more "can I have a go" reply "no" "you can watch"

(Sniff Sniff) the import elite are no more............

BUT

You gotta laugh your ass off at the UK launch - those suckers paid near £200 for a PSP, £50 more than I did. The Evening Standard today had pictures of a midnight opening of HMV last night to mark the launch - queues of over-enthusiastic nerds about to be ripped off. The newspaper also reported about a boy and his brother who were the 'first in the UK to get their PSP', I laughed thinking "yeah right!"

Walking through the Victoria Place shopping centre at lunchtime was disturbing. Crowds of people going mad, buying the likes of Untold Legends, Metal Gear Ac!d and Ridge Racer for £39.99 each!!! (I paid £17 tops from the States). Also UMD movies were shockingly expensive. HMV sold Ghostbusters on UMD for £19.99 while on DVD they sold it for £4.99! Again people were dumb and lapped up these overpriced movies that they probably already owned.

Don’t get me started on Memory Sticks. 512mb cost some poor Sod £70 in GAME, cost to me last night on ebay (and this INCLUDES shipping): £25!

Another thing is these reports that PSP is sold out everywhere. My stroll at Lunchtime seemed to contradict this statement. Dixons had THREE un-reserved PSPs behind the counter and GAME had 2. Only HMV had sold out their allocation.


Being stitched up because you live in England and have to pay more than everyone else and have to wait the longest = Priceless

For everything else.... IMPORT!
