Today at the Mall: PSP!!
So I went to the mall today for a preliminary interview at The Buckle. I didn't get picked up for the second round though because I lacked clothing retail experience. He said he would call me if any n00bs get fired or leave or anything.
I got some lunch at the mall. I tried this fast-foot Japanese hibachi place. I got chicken tempura and fried rice and accidentally covered the chicken in siracha. How adventurous am I?
I never finish all the rice
From there I decided to check out EB Games. I was talking to the sales person on the floor about the PSP and she mentioned that her manager had an import sitting in the back. She said he was gone, and she didn't want to touch it herself, but that I should come back in 10 minutes. So I did, and the guy let me play a whole race in Ridge Racers. What a guy! I've always thought nice of EBGames, but now I think a whole lot more of them!
Anyways my short impression of the PSP is simple: Freakin' Sweet! Anyone who is worried about the analog nub, forget about it. It's fine, especially if you're experienced with a dual shock. You hardly notice it's a sliding motion. It was all beautiful, and as far as I could tell no technical issues. I didn't experience button stick/squeak or notice dead pixels, but keep in mind I didn't get to spend quality time with it, just a quick race in Ridge Racers.
I've always been kinda fair-minded when it came to PSP vs. DS, but it's painfully obvious to me, the PSP blows the DS out of the water. Nintendo is really going to have to work hard for those third party games and exclusivity contracts.
SWEET!!
I cannot wait till I have my own.

Nah, I didn't think you sounded like a twat at all, just took it as good-natured taunting...It's not that big a deal, I've just never even seen one before here in the US the imports are scattered all over and I wouldn't be surprised if you could count the number of imported PSPs in my city on one hand. I'm just so pumped for the PSP. It's so unreal...
