Because of a long day of work and a trip to Tupelo that I got talked into, I didn’t get a chance to play my PSP until around 11:30 Thursday night. Unfortunately, I got one of the units with a dead pixel on the screen. It’s hard to see most of the time, but my eyes have a tendency to zone in on that kind of stuff. GameStop is directing people to Sony’s 1-800 number. Sony doesn’t consider a dead pixel to be a defect, so I’m stuck with it. I guess I just expect items that I pay a lot of money for to be nearly perfect.

In spite of the pixel, I am really enjoying the PSP. In addition to Untold Legends, I bought Lumines with money I got from trading in games. Untold Legends is an action RPG that is a lot like Champions of Norrath and the Baldur’s Gate games that came out on the consoles. Lumines has been described as the best Tetris-like game since Tetris. Both are a lot of fun and look pretty good. The movie Spider-Man 2 came with the PSP. I watched a few minutes of it and it also looks cool on that screen.

After playing for a while, my arms and shoulders start to get tired. I think that if I change my grip and rest the PSP on my lap, I can change that. I think I’m going to get back to playing. Later.
