Hard-Core
by March 28, 2005 1:43 AM PST: Camping out overnight is pretty dedicated. Still, the truly hard-core U.S. game fanatics would've pre-ordered their PSP from Japan and taken the long flight across the Pacific to pick it up when it was released three months ago (Dec 16)! The even more insanely hard-core would've been at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2004 just so they could play one before anyone else. ;-)

I have since inhereted it (he has a newer one) but the battery keeps dying after like only an hour. I heard you can get replacements for the old school PSP on http://pspbatteries.com if anyone else is having a similar problem
