Sony finally took the wraps off the PSP2, or
Next Generation Portable, whatever you want to call it. I haven't turned on my old PSP in forever, and when I did, it was to occasionally play Ghost'n Goblins or Killzone for a few minutes. The new iteration sounds promising, so let's hope it lives up to the expectations.
No big plans for this weekend, so everything will be nice and quiet around these parts. Maybe we'll catch up left or right, sleep, watch DVR/Netflix, and see
The Green Hornet or Your Highness. You know, the usual. :)
It's been rather quiet concert-wise, but we are going to see Kevin Smith in a few weeks, as well as a musical, Rock Of Ages. That'll be my dose of cultural enlightenment for the rest of the year.
