If you've been following my trials and tribulations of late then you'll know that I've been resurrecting my 1st generation PSP. I even tracked down the memory stick and everything to get it back up and running.
And then, and then...
A surprise from Mr. Lee on Christmas Day -- the new PS Vita AND the latest Lumines game!
It's such a beautiful piece of gaming -- SO much lighter than my PSP dinosaur and I have to say that the touch typing on this thing is better than with the iPad.
Ok and now the downside -- but if you've ever had any Sony gaming device then you'll know what I'm about to gripe about -- the proprietary memory!
Ughhhh! Ok, I understand that they're trying to ward off piracy and to also make extra -- EXTRA --moola so you'd expect that with the purchase of the PS Vita that they'd throw you a bone and include a dinky 4GB card to get you started. Right? But, no. There were no bones to be thrown.
And so I've only been able to update the software and stare at it because I can't do jack squat without the memory card -- I can't even play Lumines or surf the inna-net. What the pho?!
So, yesterday, I figured that I'd stop by Target after work to pick up a card, but they had none in stock -- neither did Best Buy or Gamestop. Again, what the pho?! This is a reason why I hardly ever shop at brick-and-mortar stores...they never have things I need in stock.
When I got back home, I did what I should've done in the first place -- order from Amazon w/ Prime and with 20% off.
Expected arrival is this Saturday. The wait is killing me.
PS. I pronounce Lumines as LU-MEENS. Apparently, it's the incorrect way. Oh well.
