Can a 45-year-old man maintain a marriage and a videogame habit? Let's find out!

Proud owner of a PSP Slim

I finally got it!

As a matter of fact, I’ve had it for a week, but have been so in love with it that it’s been hard to tear myself away to blog about it!

About a week ago, I finally traded in some older games I wasn’t playing anymore and bridged the gap to affordability and bought the brand new, sleeker, slimmer, cooler PSP Slim. I gave my wife the older PSP, which works perfectly fine, so that I could justify the purchase, as well as give her the gift of on-the-go gaming. And since I’ve been using it, I’ve been happier than a mother with set of brand new baby slings.

I decided on the Daxter version because it’s silver and goes well with my old DS. (My wife has matching black – her new DS Lite and old PSP share the same color, too.) Besides, it had a 1GB memory card and the Star Wars one didn’t. The Star Wars one, also, is white, which does little for me. Star Wars was cool 30 years ago, but the more recent sequel sucked raw eggs, so it’s not that big a deal. And my wife enjoys the Daxter game.

Me? I’m whiling away my time with Dungeons and Dragons Tactics until the real plum of the PSP RPG season arrives at my doorstep. This week, I’m expecting to receive Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions. Put that alongside Silent Hill Origins, Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness and the long-promised Elder Scrolls: Oblivion PSP, and this holiday season the sweetest Sony platform to be on isn’t PS2 or PS3, it’s PSP!
