  PS3 got the yellow light of death.

  This happened two days ago. Now I can't play anything on there. I need to find a way to fix it to get it working long enough to transfer the data onto another PS3.

  
  EDIT 3/17/13: Should have mentioned this a long time ago, but I got a newer PS3 back in November 2011 with the Uncharted 3 bundle.

  The PSP

  I have always wanted to get one, but its price has never really been in my favor. Its a handheld gaming device, but it has all this unnecessary crap in it. I just want to play games on it! No music, no UMD movies, etc.This is pretty much the same with the Playstation 3, but I've gotten over that.

  Even when I have considered getting one, there's usually always a game out that I want for what I currently have. This leads me to miss out on the PSP games I had wanted. The best examples would be the Metal Gear Acid games. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to find those (not for cheap at least).

  The only games I have really wanted for the PSP have been:

  Daxter

  Metal Gear Acid

  Metal Gear Acid 2

  Dissidia: Final Fantasy

  Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

  And then MAYBE Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. I also had my eyes on Power Stone Collection and Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions. Plus a few others.

  Since I know I will no doubt get a 3DS sometime after that comes out (afterall it's a Nintendo handheld), I have hope that at least some of the PSP games I wanted get ported to the 3DS. Namely Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

  EDIT 3/17/11: Since the new Dissidia game basically has the first one in it, there is no point in me buying the first game now.

  It is just games, games, games...

  I don't know how these things happen...

  Yesteday I went to the mall because I heard from a friendabout this store that sold vintage items. I believe it was called Hot Toys or something and they had videogames in there dating back to the Atari 2600 and even one of those consoles itselffor sale. There were alsoNES, Super Nintendo, Genesis, and even a few Nintendo 64, PS1, and Dreamcast games in there. As well as one Gamecube game and a few for Xbox. Besdies that there were a bucnh of old toys being sold there and the store across from it called Hot Toys II sold a bunch of old comic books and figures.

  I didn't make any purchases when I was there yesterday. I ended up going to Gamestop to buy Silent Hill 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. I told my brother about Hot Toys and the games that were there. I mentioned I saw Toy Story and Mortal Kombat 3 (a game which he wanted)for Super Nintendo. I also mentioned that behind a case was a $75 black-labeled Playstation copy of Final Fantasy VII there.

  We went down there today so he could buy the two Super Nintendo games. He also bought Ready 2 Rumble Boxing for Dreamcast when I found it and showed it to him. Oh yeah, he was also kind enough to buy that lone copy of Final Fantasy VII for me. Normally you'd only find that game being sold for up to $100-$200 online.

  I looked over the case and each disc. The case was in clean and perfect condition, all three discs were in perfect condition, and even the instruction booklet was included. The clerk mentioned it took him three years to find a copy of Final Fantasy VII. He said to my brother and I "So you're finally taking this off my hands, huh?"

  After adding the game to my My Games collection on GameFaqs, I noticed there were two version of Final Fantasy VII with its black label: the orignal and rerelease. The rerelease had different ESRB content mentioned under the Teen rating. The original releasewas rated Teen for "realistic violence." On the back of the case of the FF7I got it only mentions being rated Teen only for "realistic violence." So right now I am mind blowned for having an original copy of the game.

  I'm also wondering how I am going to be able to play all these games...
