6.10 Oh, I Love That 6.10... Dun! Dun!

Firmware 6.10 for the PSP will be released shortly to tie in with the release of the PSP Go. Among it's new features, Sony's SensMe will make it's debut. The big thing for me personally is the PSP Go's tethering ability. If you have no internet Wi-Fi access point for your favorite new portable, you can via your blue tooth cellphone. Sweet!

Finally... Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good!

When Ghostbusters: The Video Game was announced as a true sequel to the film franchise, I was ecstatic. Ghostbusters was a huge part of my child hood. The movies, cartoons, toys and video games all rocked. Awww... The fond memories.

For the franchise's long over due new venture, the original creators and acting talent worked alongside the game makers during it's creation. The final result was a million seller and a damn great game. The game was released for all platforms. Except for one, which made me sad. The PlayStation Portable was lacking the Busters. However today, those sniffles have been put to rest.

Atari has officially announced the video game's PSP arrival, slated for an early November release. The game is a port of the Wii/PS2 edition which I never played. Now I'll finally get the chance. Cheers!

BTW, I did complete the PS3 Busters and it's friggin' AWESOME!

It's Go Time!



2 Days to Go. At work yesterday, my buddy Tyler looks at my PSP-3000 and says, "look at that old, crappy PSP. Isn't time for a new one?". He teases me like crazy. I'm like Eric Cartman in the episode of South Park who asks his friends to freeze him because he can't wait the final 3 weeks for the Nintendo Wii. I want my PSP Go. I want to be frozen and awoken for it's launch. I Can't wait any longer.

The buzz has been incredibly positive for the latest PSP incarnation. Everybody loves the new design, control layout and portability. The PSN delivery of titles is gonna rock. The universal negative, no surprise here, is the price which should be anywhere from $199 to $219 and not the launch for $249. Still, like many others, I will be purchasing one on day one.

Thursday is gonna be a huge day, not just for the PSP Go in general, but for all PSP-1000 to 3000 owners. No matter what system you own, you'll have access to all the new content. The PSN is gonna be updated with a huge selection of UMD Legacy titles such as Gran Turismo, Motor Storm, God of War and Soul Calibur. Original PSP downloadable titles such as Pixel Junk Monsters Deluxe will be released alongside the Minis which include Tetris and Sudoko. There is going to be something for everyone, hardcore and casual gamers alike. I'm excited and yet frightened by the amount of money I'll be spending that day. Crap...

Apparently, my PSP Go purchase is gonna make me sexy like these beautiful folks in the video below. Imagine the parties I'm gonna be invited. WOW!
