I’ve owned an original PSP since they were first released, I’ve gone through the good times with it (Monster Hunter awesome) and the bad times (StarWars BF2 WHY?!). I’ve played just about the majority of games that you could call popular, I wont waste my time with brain teasing games or simple puzzle fighters. Before I had relized what was happening I had foolishly upgrade past 1.5 and was not able to hack the PSP until Pandora’s Battery was released. What a day that was, duct taping a battery backtogether.

Nevertheless, since that day I no longer used UMDs. I enjoy owning the physical form don’t get me wrong, but I have no desire to switch them out, or listen to that whirring noise it makes when you load or something new loads into the game. Yes, ISOs and CSOs were my life then. Not that I was a pirate or anything..

You’d think after that I would be estactic of PSP Go, believe me I was, until I was able to see it up close. The first thing that threw me off the PSP Go is the lack of dual analog.

Yes I’m aware it would create a line between PSPers if the PSP Go came out with a second analog, tough. All I can say is think of the possiblities of the games, how much MORE fun they would be with a second analog to control camera movement, it would kill DS. There is no doubt in my mind about that. But no, it was just a cleverly shaped select and start button. So disapointing that day was.

What else can I say about the PSP Go? As long as I have my CFW I have no use for a fancy looking system that costs the same price as a PS3, what a waste it would be to buy it now. OFW will never hold out agains CFW, even now I can play Persona and Gran Turismo with just 5.50 Gen-B CFW.

Regardless of all the PSP talk, I still like DS better.

Oh yeah, I went there.

It’s too bad Verizon doesn’t offer BBs with wifi, and they force you to get a data plan so no work arounds.

Boy howdy Verizon is a bunch of jerks, not that $30.00 is ridiculous but at this time it just can’t be paid and I wouldn’t use it enough for $30.00 to be a viable price.

Well crud, I ordered those skins the other night and I can’t cancel it so $10.00 out the window. I guess I’ll get the LG Env2, and when the skins come I might try to cut them to fit it instead.

I hear Env2 has apps too, I’ll have to check that out.

US has a huge variety of models for Cell phones, MP3 players, Consoles to be skinned. Their skins vary, the cheapest I believe is 6.99 for a standard skin and 24.99 for a “gel” skin which makes it look thicker I guess. Not worth extra $18 imo.

Anywho, making a skin is simple. They have their own built in flash designing program so you can put what you want on your skin and position it where you want it to be right there on the site. It’s a really cool feature and utilizes layers, so you can create some pretty intricate stuff on it.

I found a coupon on retailmenot.com (they have 20% off or free shipping) and shipping is cheap on US. only around $2.49. So I decided to order 2 skins and pay the shipping and use a 20 or 25% off promo code. I paid $12.32 for two skins shipping included.

I was going to make just a black skin, or a 2-tone ska themed skin but instead I decided to just go nuts and make a collage of Aquabat fan art and slap it together on the skin. Here are the pictures of what it SHOULD look like.

Aquabats skin #1

Aquabats skin #2

I’m quite fond at how they both came out design wise. The second one is a bit standout-ish and I might feel a little awkward using it on the BB in public, but what the hey. The Aquabats are awesome (even though they wont open cadet signups grr) and I should be proud to promote them on my BB.

Well I should be getting the skins in later this week, then when I get my BB I’ll make a video of the installation.
