I HATE THIS STUPID MESSAGE BOARD! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRG! I HAD THIS WHOLE THING TYPED UP AND BOOM, THE SITE DOESNT" EXIST! WHY CAN'T IT BE PROGRAMED TO REMEMBE WHAT I TYPED WHEN I HIT BACK? THE OLD ONE DID!
REALLY, WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE EVER ANSWER ME?!
Let's TRY THIS AGAIN.
It seems Square-Enix is releasing yet ANOTHER FF7 universe game. Crisis Core.

So then, the PSP will be getting this, as such, it seems Square-Enix is playing it safe by releasing stuff for both of these systems.
But, there is ANOTHER thing I found out here. The PSP's price has been set, to a staggering 20000 yen! *converts* Well now! That's only 185 buckazoids! I can actually GET one at that price, perhaps on top of getting a DS! The site also adds that it'll be more like $225 after buying "must have accessories", but honestly I have no idea what that means. What "must haves" could there possibly be, really? I mean, the battery and recharge adapter will certainly be included with the system. I already HAVE a headset (a must have so you don't get people angry with you in public), so really, what could you need to buy?
Oh wait, this is interesting, battery life. This sucks... It's only 4-6 hours... With a 5 hour average life, I guess there IS one must have, another battery :D. They have the right price I'd say, it's only a bit more than the DS. However, that battery life is going to be a major problem... Really, with a motor and laser in the thing, the low battery life is to be expected, but it's still a problem. By contrast, I drained my SP's batteries over the course of yesterday and overnight, and it only finally was drained a little after I woke up. I did that out of a silly "charge memory" fear, which isn't even physically possible on li-ion batteries, I know, but memories of nickel-cadmium bring them back... Point is, I could have actually PLAYED the system the whole time. (I had a game with a demo mode that constantly played, so it was pushing the system as much as if I was actually playing it, button pressing takes up no significant energy).
Now, I know, I can recharge it, but the point is how long it lasts. On long trips away from outlets, I got nothing unless I have a replacement battery, and I can't ask someone for a spare cup of PSP rechargeble battery! Besides that, if the thing is hooked to a wall half the time, it isn't very portable! I like knowing I can usually depend on the system working and not have to worry about recharging after just ONE play session.
Anyway, the PSP is affordable, contrary to mass opinion, which is great. The PSP has bad battery life, which is... bad... I believe I'll still get it though. Besides, Sony may make a better battery. There IS a physical limit to the smallest size they can fit a certain level of charge into though. Now, to avoid this delete thing happening again *copy*, NOW submit!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
