Megaman bad for morals?!

I had been boycotting Sony for putting spyware in their products and for their reaction when they were caught. ("Most of our customers don't know what a rootkit is" -- not that it won't hurt them, but that they won't know to blame it on Sony. What an example of a bad attitude to customers!)

But a discount store just a few subway stops away had a sale on video games today, and I picked up MHX and MMPU for $15 each. So my fine-sounding principles of corporate responsibility have gone out the window, and I'm in the market for a PSP.^^;

  PSP is really, really fun, and I'm in sort of the same boat as far as Sony's concerned. My solution has been to get everything second-hand from an independent party or revendor (like a used store) - someone else gave THEIR money to Sony, and I'm just giving money to THEM instead. It's cheap and cheaty but it allowed me to get the PS2, X7 and X8, and the PSP set with MMPU and MHX. ;)

    I'll have to contain my enthusiasm, as I think I'll get a better deal after Christmas, but it's good to know all the fun is worth it! Thanks for the info!

      It was totally enjoyable. MHX is really, really fun. MMPU is more fun with the Blues savegame - let me know if you want that, I can mail it to you. The PSP is very easy to swap files around with like that- it's windows-based, so if you hook it up to any XP machine, Windows just sees it as another eternal USB drive. :)
      
      I can also recommend it as a reasonable alternative to an mp3 player- since it's only limited by memory card space, and has a better battery life than most mp3 players, it's actually great for this purpose as well.
      
      Oh, I would say, get one of the older version 1 ones though and not the newest slimline ones- they are cheaper made. The old systems are heavier but more sturdy feeling, like holding an object of glass instead of plastic.
