PSP Launch Roundup

Unless you are either not a gamer or were out of the country for a few weeks then you may not know that the Sony PSP yesterday launched to throngs of gamers eager to get their greasy little hands on the latest and very expensive handheld gaming device. Gamestops across the US opened at midnight for their pre-order customers and other retailers opened early the next morning. For a recap of all of the crazy activity check out these stories from Google News. Gamespot has a good Spot On column regarding the launch. Also, there was some disappointing launch news out of Rochester, NY.

Finally, if you like pre-launch robberies(free reg. req.) you will like the story from Charlotte. Ali and I are still holding off on buying one as we don't see it being used a whole lot in our house and the games are primarily sports/auto games. Still, Ali really wants one. I'll have to keep her away from EB Games today.
