More PSP fun

100 1168-1I’ve finally gotten a while to sit and play with my new PSP. I upgraded to the latest firmware and the browser is amazing as I’ve said. We were at Freebird’s this afternoon and I pulled it out and checked my email right at our table on their free WiFi. The images from my digital camera do the screen zero justice. The screen on this thing is amazing. Even though the text is very small on the screen it is quite readable. I sat up last night reading an e-Book I downloaded without problem. 100 1170-1
That was cool and all but today I finally figured out the right settings to get a movie ripped off a DVD and onto my Memory Stick. I managed to get an entire 82 minute movie, “Ghost in the Shell” (Mamoru Oshii), squeezed down to 225MB. I know I can get it smaller and will keep working on it but this is just too cool. Now any DVD in our nearly 750 title library can be brought on the road for watching with the PSP. Once I’m totally happy with the results I’ll post a how to.

I’m going to try to find a reasonably priced 1GB MemoryStick for this so I can load 2-3 movies, a few games, and several e-Books to keep with me wherever I go. I’ll always be prepared to wait for my son’s Scout meetings or Karate class, etc.
