Got me a PSP

[Jason Tandro]

Okay, so my friend is selling me his PSP and all his games and movies plus a memory stick for a mere $100. And he's letting me pay him in installments!

This guy I like.

Here's my prize:

Original PSP
Power Cord

Games(in order of awesomeness):

Final Fantasy: Crisis Core
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War Of the Lion
Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins
Death Jr.
Kingdom of Paradise
Alpha 3 Max


Movies (in order of awesomeness):

The Transporter
Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Doom

(And I'll probably buy Advent Children and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, because AC complements Crisis Core nicely and I love The Exorcism of Emily Rose).

Also can somebody please tell me what Kingdom of Paradise is? I've never heard of it!

wow... nice. i wish i could buy a psp for that much. then again i only want it for one game, which isnt even on your. speaking of which...


GET DISSIDIA!!

2 of my friends are playing that, and they say its awesome.

So I've heard. I'll finish paying off this before I buy another game, but it's definitely on my to do list.

Kingdom of Paradise is an RPG with martial arts and Eastern mythology elements. You use swordfighting and chi attacks, and such.

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal for $100.

Jason, it seems we have something in common, for I too have just ascertained a PSP.

Some random lady brought an unopened PSP 3000 Series to the store I manage. Incidentally, we only buy PSP 3000s for $70, which I also happened to have on my person at the time. So I thought, "What the hell", and bought the PSP from her.

Yep. A $170+ PSP for $70. *cha-ching* Since it was also my birthday, my friends got me Castlevania, Mega Man, and a 4GB Pro Duo.

So, Yay! We both got good deals! (and we both need Dissidia!)

you attain a PSP in all its glory. Welcome to the fold, my friend!

From what I'm able to ascertain, the critics said Dissidia was a strictly hype game. That it's for fanboys and the combat elements are questionable.

PSP is cool, especially if you have to ride the train for longer times to work or so

congrats!

The idiots say that.

Alright, Dissidia is quite honestly the first game of its kind. It's a "Fighting/RPG" similar to an "Action/RPG", but not quite. You can't play it like a fighting game. You HAVE to play it like an RPG. You level up and have to worry about good equipment and attaining abilities. No matter how skilled you are, if your opponent has access to better items and abilities, you're screwed.

What you think about Dissidia is all about the expectations you bring into it. However, it is a lot like the Smash Bros. series, in that it is clearly made for fans of the franchise. There are tons of inside references and Easter eggs to find. But it is an amazing game. Just remember:

It is more like an RPG than a Fighting game.
