Bullet trains get PSP |
|
Already representing the epitome of speed and efficiency, Japanese bullet trains will now feature PSPs that passengers can rent for the duration of their journey.
Sony has partnered with East Japan Railway (JR East) to provide the PSPs on the first class compartments of the Hayate Tohoku Shinkansen trains.
A pair of headphones will be issued to each passenger who chooses to rent a PSP, in order to keep noise down.
When buying a ticket at a JR East ticket shop, passengers will be issued with a coupon, which once on the train, can be exchanged with a guard for a PSP.
The consoles will be collected up again ten minutes before passengers reach their destination.
Japan's main island of Honshu is covered by a railway network extending from Tokyo out to cities such as Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka.
The fastest of the bullet trains is the 500 series Nozomi trains, which run at a maximum speed of 186 mph between Shin-Osaka and Hakata.

In-Line remote does it all for PSP |
|
PSP users who are to lazy to laboriously punch buttons on the console itself might want to check out the Logic3 PSP In-Line remote.
The In-Line remote enables users to control the volume, fast forward, rewind, play and pause functions of the PSP, as well as a hold switch which can lock its buttons.
A convenient spring-loaded clip which can attach the remote to your lapel, shirt or collar comes with the remote.
Headphones come with the device, however almost any pair of headphones is compatible with the remote.
The In-Line remote retails for £8.50 and is available online.
Also due out in several months is the exciting GPS system for the PSP, dubbed the PSP-290, which Sony announced in a business briefing back in March.
From being turned on, the PSP-290 will take approximately 40 seconds to take its first fix and will update at a one second rate.

PSP gets memory of an elephant |
|
The Datel 4 GB hard drive for the PSP is about to take information storage on the device onto a whole different level.
An ongoing frustration among PSP players has long been the relatively small amount of storage space that is available on the device.
The Datel 4 GB hard drive goes some way to solving this problem.
Sleekly functional, the add-on will make saving movies, game data, songs and video images easier and faster.
Coming with Datel's X2 battery, so it won't drain the PSP's own power supply, the 4 GB hard drive plugs into the memory stick port of the PSP.
The add-on also acts as a convenient secondary grip for the PSP.
Featuring a read time of 2 MB/sec and a sustained write time of 1.75 MB/sec, the hard drive is sure to be the answer to any PSP player's prayers. So while the PSP may not quite have the memory of an elephant, this new device at least gives it the memory of a rhino?

Blushes after boy given PSP porn |
|
There's been embarrassment all over, after a boy who went to buy a PSP video game in good faith, ended up with a disc of pornography.
Jacob Woods, aged 11 from Stokes County, bought the disc from a local Wal-Mart, thinking it would play an NBA game as advertised on the box.
Yet when he played the disc, the unsuspecting boy found the content was less than savoury, reports Yahoo News.
Jacob's father has failed to see the humour of the situation and has decided proceed with a lawsuit against the company for its mistake.
Recently a 14-year-old boy with cited with a class C felony after taking pornographic images to school.
Bismarck Police said they charged the boy with promoting obscenity to minors after he showed the material to other schoolmates.
The boy was arrested after a fellow student who he had scratched with a key alerted staff to obscene material present on the boy's console.

Classic Swayze flick released on UMD |
|
Those who have seen Road House will be excited to know that it is to be released on UMD this week and those that haven't yet seen it are in for a treat when they do.
While many may seize this opportunity to take their bestest and cheapest shots at this somewhat cheesy 1989 action flick, those that watch it with an open mind and a discerning eye will recognize it as a classic of its time.
The movie tells the story of Dalton (Swayze), a kind of super bouncer/ general do-gooder brought in to tame the baddest bar in town â?? the Double Deuce roadhouse.
Inevitably Dalton comes into conflict with town baddie and rich guy Brad Wesley, who is jealous of Dalton's newly formed relationship with the sexy town doctor, Elizabeth "Doc" Clay, played by a young Kelly Lynch.
Another notable performance is by Sam Elliot, who plays Dalton's friend and mentor Wade Garrett.
While the concept of a fair-minded and agreeable bouncer may be alien to those of us who have come across the usual dodgy, surly and volatile specimens usually to be found on doors, nothing about Road House is remotely real, so viewers should check their sensibilities at the door and enjoy.
