Stare into the abyss long enough...

I hate my DS. I love my PSP. How, or indeed why things are this way, I do not know. I really should like my DS. It has awesome games and many more than my PSP and yet, I find myself overcome with hate when I stare at it's bulky grey visage. Yes, I have one of the original DS consoles, the type which looks like some children's toy



"The Fellbeast" in all it's grey fugly glory.

Hideous, isn't it? Not a day goes by when I don't think about how stupid it looks. And on top of that, the hinges are near-broken, the screen is dim, the touch screen is off center and I can't seem to name more than a handful of games for the system that I genuinely enjoy. While this is not enough for me to hate the system, I still do.

The there's my PSP. And my PSP. And my PSP. Oh, and my dismantled PSP. But today, I'm just going to talk about my PSP. Though, thanks in no small part to a Frankenstein's monster of a case conversion on my part, it isn't ecactly the prettiest PSP in the world, it is most certainly one of a kind, as these pictured demonstrate...

"Dood! A Prinny PSP Case!"
Is that a blue PSP-1003? Wait, why is the square button...
...OMG, LIEK, WTH IS TAHT?

I should point out right now that the reason it has a blue battery cover is because the white one broke. Mainly from me dropping my PSP constantly. Considering the punishment it's had, it's one hell of a tough machine. It has to be though, as it serves as my mp3 player, movie theatre and primary games console all rolled into one. And when I say primary games console, I mean it's more than just a Playstation Portable, as it houses not only PSP and PS1 games of mine, but also pretty much every major Nintendo and Sega console from the 16 bit era and before, as well as functioning as a perfect GBA to boot. As for PSP games, there are a lot of good ones. You just need to dig a little.

I dunno. I probably need my head checking, but for me, my PSP is by far the better of the two.

Additional Offenders in this post: My Logitech G11 Keyboard, a copy of Nero 7 Essentials (Hiss...), a Maped Softy Eraser, a Staedtler Noris(!) HB pencil, a 0.2 drawing pen and a copy of Bioshock for the PC, which I haven't played yet.

Sir Not Appearing in This Post: My original GBA, which I prefer infinitely to my DS. It is a limited edition silver one though and despite a few scratches, I think it looks amazing. Retconned from my post idea due to the camera running out of battery power again... My fault for buying terribad rechargeables.
