Slashdot Mirror
PSP Reception Lukewarm in US?
There are plenty of interesting takes available on Sony's new media/game console. The neat tricks seem to be the most popular. An Anonymous Coward writes "A blogger figured out how to batch convert e-books so they can be read on your PSP. Check out the guide here for a complete walkthrough on this method." Meanwhile, RyuuzakiTetsuya writes "PSP Vault has a great story on how to Use Non-Duo Memory Sticks on a PSP! The process involves using an adapter that's meant for a Sony Ericcson phone." Via Joystiq, a way to get Tivo content on your PSP. Out in the real world there is already talk of the opening weekend sales. Doomstalk writes "According to IGN sales of the PSP have been lukewarm, with many outlets selling as little as 10 out of the 80 units they received." The PSP is currently burning up the charts in Japan, though, where the console has been out for a while. Early adopters on a holiday weekend may not be the best yardstick. Official numbers from the first weekend of sales likely available on Monday.
You wrote all that in the 2 seconds after the article was posted? Wow!
I have this really funny quote that I like to put here. Unfortunately, there's this really annoying thing called a char
"Wow, and it formats Slashdot correctly too."
I use firefox, you insensitive clod!
Okay, I just have to speak up.
It was one fucking statement, at the very bottom of a well-written review, tucked away in parentheticals. It didn't even advocate a position either way and was non-inflammatory, despite its current "0 Flamebait" moderation.
If you guys are so non-political, you wouldn't even bat an eye at such a statement. Are you so insecure in your position that you see someone dare mention something in a parenthetical at the very bottom of their post and jump to the forefront in a firey political rage? You're the one being political. If you were really so apolitical, the statement wouldn't have meant anything to you either way. It's like preaching tolerance through intolerance. I mean, wtf?
It was a well-written review. It was one little non-relevant statement tucked away at the bottom. You know, just like everybody's signatures. Get over yourselves! And why do I have a feeling if the position had been more toward the side of the husband (i.e., the "left-wing" position), fewer people would be complaining and the post wouldn't have been modded down so much?
Just had to get that off my chest. It was a harmless apolitical statement at the bottom of a long, well-written post. Only on Slashdot will that get a bunch of knee-jerk downmods and flames from people yelling at you to be non-political. Meanwhile, any Bush joke gets +5 funny in any article, no matter the topic. Lame.
Where did you find a 32 foot "plazma" screen?
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
