Versus! premieres

Finally got Versus! Episode 1 up for download! It starts off with the SEGA Genesis versus Super Nintendo with Bill Walsh's College Football and Batman Returns.

Next episode will continue the match up with Bram Stoker's Dracula and Jurassic Park.

This Playstation Life in development

The problem with presently upgrading to the PSVita? The cost, and the lacking budget to meet said cost, what with the usual suspects limiting that and all... but in This Playstation Life I'll tell you why, even if you are going PSVita, you should hold onto and continue to use your first gen (PSP-1000 to PSP-3000) PSP.

- UMDs. They got axed as of the PSP Go.

- The ability to convert and watch videos and movies from the internet using PSPVC.

- Might still be able to play homebrewed games (a dirty word of late in the big three)

Lately Sony has been following the trend, and turning their backs on stuff that benefitted the user... the first gen PSP is the last holdout before the purge began. So, if you can, hold onto it... if you must, buy it again used from amazon and the like.

First episode splits the chores of gaming and multimedia between the two, PSP and PSP Go, and compares the two and which one is best suited for what.

I just need a PSP Go and then I'll start scripting... coming soon, stay tuned.
