New Colours for Nintendo DSi

According to CNET, Nintendo has announced new colours line-up for its upcoming DSi as seen in the picture below:



I wonder if there's a red colour version. However these new colours will not be seen in Singapore for quite a while as currently there are no news that distributors for Nintendo products will be bringing them in. *sighs*

Every time Singapore receives the goodies late and we have no choice but to live with it. This is boring, man. Living in Japan seems to be very good as all the things that I like have originated from Japan.

Anyway I am not sure whether I would be purchasing the DSi as I'm still using my Sony PSP Slim which is serving me well. The technology world moves so fast that it's impossible to keep up with the latest gadgets, no matter how drool-worthy they are.

If only I have all the money in the world, or if I just shut down permanently from the internet, then I won't have to agonize over things like that anymore. Haha!

Watching videos on my PSP 2000

All right. I admit that I am a super duper slowpoke when it comes to my psp 2000. I only just got my unit this year and started playing games that were outdated compared to those gamers who are probably playing the latest titles for their PSPs.

There are many things that a psp 2000 could do. Like playing music, watching videos and of course, playing games.

All the while I was only using my psp to play games. It was only a few days ago that I thought it would be nice if I could watch my favourite animes on my psp too. The only problem was the video format. Or so I thought.

I had read online that the psp is very picky in using a particular format for video playing. The only acceptable format was MPEG-4 and nothing else. Well, I had some of those format video files and I thought I could use them for viewing on my psp. Boy, I was wrong.

I thought by just putting the video files onto the memory stick would solve the problem but yet I still couldn't view my videos. Something had to be wrong somewhere. It was only through research on the internet that I realised that I had to create a video folder in my memory stick and transfer my video to this folder before my psp could read the file.

Oh man, I felt so stupid when I found the solution to my problem. Nonetheless, here's a really old piece of news about the newly-released psp 3000. Here are some of the pictures taken of the psp 3000 as well as the psp 2000:

To me, the 2 versions does not look very different from each other. Maybe the psp 3000 looks a slightly more sleeker than the psp 2000. But other than that, it looks almost the same. Sony probably could have done much better with the new version but for now, the opportunity is lost this year.

Now I'm looking forward to the release of Nintendo's DSi next year and it looks better with each version upgrade. Pictures of the new DSi are posted below for references:








The new DSi will much more slimmer than ever before and it will also comes with an SD card slot, as seen in the picture above. Looks like things are going to get very exciting as the 2 gaming devices gear up for the consumer dollar next year. Who knows, I might even be tempted to buy the DSi next year.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed now.

Nintendo's New DSi Coming Soon

According to CNEt's Crave, Nintendo is going to release a new successor to the incredible successful DS Lite, the DSi.

Judging from the pictures below, it looks like Nintendo's gotten itself a bestseller. Yet again. But will it help to defeat the almighty Sony PlayStation Portable a.k.a. the PSP?






I personally own a PSP and so far I am very happy with its performance. The games that are designed for the PSP are varied and fun as well. There's no lack of choices of games to choose from.

Now I'm hooked on playing Burnout Legends and it's gotten me crazy over cars too. Just look at the Formula One posting which I did the other time. It's addictive, I can honestly tell you that. Which other car game will let you crash your car and still award you points for doing so? In fact, the more spectacular the car crash is, the more points you will get awarded. It's so fun!

Right, back to the DSi.

For now, it's not yet available in Singapore and so there's not much comparison to make between PSP and the DSi. From the pictures, all I can say is that the new look is definitely much more gorgeous and sexy than before. Nintendo fans would find it hard to say no to this baby.

Furthermore, this sleek baby comes with a SD card slot which definitely is a big plus for the gamer. Besides offering the options to store more games, it also offers music playback as well as images storage.

By the way, it is reported that the DSi will come equipped with a 3 megapixel camera and that seems to put it on top of the PSP right now. The PSP doesn't come with an internal camera, you will need to purchase an external camera which will definitely add cost to your total package.

Nonetheless, it's still early days yet and fans in Singapore will have to settle for wait. Japan will be the first country to get the new DSi since Nintendo originated from Japan (I think). By the time it comes to Singapore's shores, we would have more information to make a comprehensive choice then.

Who will win, PSP or DSi? You decide.

New PSP Slim Case

I had just came back from a BBQ session at Angeline a.k.a. mayi's house, exhausted but feeling very satisfied. Besides me, Felice a.k.a. maomao also came for the BBQ session. Xinhui a.k.a. xin didn't turn up eventually due to some personal matters.

Nonetheless, the 3 of us enjoyed ourselves despite the unpleasantries from mayi's elder sister. Between the 3 of us, we managed to set up 2 BBQ pits and got some food cooking sizzling hot before the elder sister came over and took away all our cooked food to share with her own set of friends. This left us with only raw food in which we had to cook again before we could fill our stomachs.

Magdeline is such a horrible person that mayi had the misfortune to live with all her life. She is such a huge disgrace to the family. All of us were busy preparing the necessaries for the BBQ, like setting up the BBQ pits, cooking the food and the eventual cleaning up of the BBQ equipments but all her elder sister did was snatched our food away without a word of thanks.

Her friends were even worse than the sister. They just came over to the BBQ session and ate up the food without offering a single helping hand to us nor a word of thanks. They should be ashamed of themselves and rightfully so, since they are working as full-time teachers in public schools.

Is this the way for public teachers to carry themselves in front of other people? NIE should sieve out all these bad apples lest they teach the wrong values to the future generations. Bah!

Right. Enough about those ungrateful sods.

Aside from the excellent food, I had also managed to get a beautiful PSP Slim case for myself at Bishan Junction 8. Needless to say, it is in black colour.

Here are some pictures of the case which I took with my Sony Ericsson K800i mobile phone:







Now my beloved PSP Slim is finally getting the proper home that it deserves. With this case, I don't have to worry about scratches marring the beauty of my black PSP Slim anymore. What a relief!

My Desired PSP Slim Colour

How I wish I can modify my current Piano Black Sony PSP Slim to this awesome combination colour skin.




I simply adore this colour combination to bits. However I have no idea how to go about changing the colour. Qisahn.com doesn't seem to offer such services as well. So now I am stuck on getting my desired PSP Slim colour.

Besides, don't you agree that the colours are so striking that makes the PSP Slim that much more drool-worthy? Oh well, looks like my search is not gonna end anytime soon.
