Anyone else remember then being the cool new thing instead of a mandatory one?

    I think about the fact that the Nintendo DS let you animate, draw, message friends, work as a step counter and all kinds of stuff. The PSP had a Sim slot and could be used as a GPS. I used mine for media, music and comic reading on it was awesome.

    Like the things you could do was important and not just the data that could be scraped from you. Like they made it a competition to make them something you would want to use instead if all reduced to the black brick you have to have.

      Duuuuude.
      I absolutely adored hatena flipnote. There were so many crazy good animations, especially stickman fights. Now the servers are down, and only a couple were mirrored somewhere :/

      Okay I have been wanting to get an mp3 player for my bike (to leave attached) but now I want to use that psp you mentioned. I don’t $150 want one, but maybe if I have a profitable summer

        Just so you know the knockoff iPods can be flashed with custom firmware these days for pretty cheap.

        While I love my PSP I will not suggest you get into it now unless you can actually just get a great deal especially with the memory sticks being outdated.
