Did I do that?

I didn't have much time to play today, basically just did one boss fight. The commander was actually just on the other side of the door I last saved at, so it was a straight trip to the fight. After getting beat up, the commander used his last bit of strength to unleash the power of the island, expecting it to give him control of the world, but the power was actually a barrier keeping locked up the ancient giant planet destroying force which is now lose. For his reward, the gigantic crystal that was powering the barrier fell down on top of the commander, and in the crash Yuri was separated from the rest of the party. Then the second in command of Flynn's knights ran up and stabbed Yuri in the gut with a dagger (since Flynn acted less like a Knight when Yuri was around), causing him to fall off the top of the island tower. Fortunately that guy who keeps saving them showed u once again and carried Yuri back to the capital to heal, and then I saved.

The reason I didn't have much time was because I finally broke down and bought a used PSP today. The prospect of getting a bunch of Atlus games (like P3P) for half price on PSN won me over. Not only are the games cheaper than second hand but at least some of the money goes to Atlus, unlike used games where the store pockets all the money. The PSP, like the PS3, does a whole bunch of things extra besides playing games, but it also has the same problem of very few good games. Aside from the 5 Atlus games I bought, there is only a dozen other PSP games have been released in the past 5 years that I'm interested in getting (almost all from Xseed, NIS, or squenix), compare this to the over 30 games each I already bought for Wii and 360.

The down side is that I now have to finish SMT: Strange journey, Etrian Odyssey III, Dragon Quest IX, Persona 1, Persona 3 portable, Crimson Gem Saga, Knights in the Nightmare, and Yggdra Union, all in half hour chunks each day on the way to work...
