Gameboys
I'm sure I've expressed my love for Gameboys 
in the past, but it's worth repeating. Recently I received and email asking me if I had any interest in a free Gameboy or a Gameboy Advance. What do you think my answer was? ABSOLUTELY! Even though I already have a GB and a GBcolor
. You never know when these devices will die or accidentally fill with corrosion like my original GB. RIP. I still own it, but it may as well be a paper weight.

I still own it, but it may as well be a paper weight.I am very excited about the GBA. I have never owned that unit and look forward to having some first hand game play. I also am thinking about picking up a GBA Flash card to allow me to download all the roms of all the GB games I already own and any GBA games I pick up. Much easier than lugging the actual carts around. As you know, I'm not a big fan of MASS ROM download. Just the games I own. Less wear and tear on my games and easier to carry.
If I had a choice to own any GB system it would be the Gameboy Mini.
The device is insanely attractive and fits right in the pocket. I'm not positive, but it may also be backlit. If you've never seen one of these, drop by ebay and type in Gameboy Mini. Comes in a variety of flavors. If you have one laying around that you don't want, I'd be happy to pay shipping!

What a blow!! I'm afraid to ask how much he sold it for.

Original Tron Film Out On Bluray April 5th
Oh man! I'm so excited to see they finally released the original Tron 
film on bluray. Last year when Tron Legacy
came out I wanted to get the film prior to watching the sequel. Unfortunately it was impossible because Disney had done some testing and found that today's audience would be turned off by it. They actually had screenings where folks were laughing at the visuals. I have to tell you, the visuals are a bit better in Legacy, but it's still glowing folks running around inside a pretend computer.

It plays off of classic arcade game names and even has the awesome, "Flynn's Arcade" in the film. Super stuff. Get on it! Order one! I'm going to order mine soon and after I check out all the goodies I'll be posting a review.

Sad Flood News from a Donor - Dreamcast damage
I received an email about a Dreamcast
, SNES games and NES games found in a parents basements. The donor will remain anonymous. He offered up all this booty if I payed shipping and sent him a sketch. I'm more than happy to do so for such fantastic spoils! Shortly after receiving this amazing news I learned that his parents suffered some water in the basement. Unfortunately he had left the whole pile on the floor. (did you heart just sink? It gets worse.) His SNES was also involved in the terrible incident and may have been irrevocably damaged. I'm hoping to have him send me the units regardless to see if I can salvage these jewels of video gaming history.

Now, I want all you readers and listeners to head down to your basements or up to your attics and either put your retro gaming consoles somewhere safe or mail them off to Brian and I for safe keeping and sweet sweet playing. Game on!!!!

Sony Announces PlayStation Suite for Android Devices
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) recently unveiled “PlayStation®Suite” (PS Suite), delivering the PlayStation® experience to Android™ based portable devices*1. Through this entirely new initiative, users will be able to enjoy PlayStation content on an open operating system for the first time in PlayStation history.
In the dramatically evolving and diversifying mobile market, the number of users who enjoy games casually on a variety of devices including mobile phones, smart-phones and tablet PCs, has been increasing significantly. By offering “PlayStation quality” content to this rapidly growing market, SCE will not only deliver the PlayStation experience to a wider base of users around the globe, but will also be able to offer game developers and publishers the potential to further expand their business opportunities to these devices.
In providing the PlayStation experience on Android based portable devices, SCE will commence a “PlayStation®Certified” license program for hardware manufacturers. Through this program, SCE will offer necessary support, including development support as well as logo licensing, to ensure the delivery of PlayStation quality experience across various devices.
On the software front, SCE plans to provide PS Suite content within this calendar year, starting with original PlayStation games*2 (PS one® classics) that will allow users to enjoy “PlayStation quality” gameplay on their Android based portable devices. SCE also plans to open PlayStation®Store where users will be able to download content in an easy to use environment, directly via the Android based portable devices. Moreover, SCE will provide a new game development environment in an effort to ensure new and compelling content is delivered on PS Suite, which will also offer opportunities for a wider base of developers and publishers to further expand their business on various portable devices.
Newly developed content for PS Suite can also be enjoyed on the next generation portable entertainment system (codename: NGP), which SCE announced today. Users who have never experienced PlayStation content can get a taste of the PlayStation experience through PS Suite and from there, they can enjoy the ultimate portable entertainment experience that is only possible on NGP.
SCE will vigorously enhance the entertainment world delivering the PlayStation experience to a wider base of users.
