A PSP for your train journey, sir? |

Passengers riding on first class 'green car' seats in Japan's Hyate trains are going to be offered PSPs on a rental basis. This is after the deal between Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and the East Japan Railway Company has been signed, making the said service applicable from October 1st 2006 to March 31st 2007. Only customers who buy a travel package through View, Japan Railways East's official travel agency will be eligible for the PSP rental service.
This campaign is an effort by SCEJ to bring the PSP to a wider market, and open the eyes of Japanese businessmen to the power of the PSP on their journeys. Obviously, this allows Sony to reach more age groups, instead of the traditional casual gamer, attracting businessmen/women who have free time every day just commuting to work.
The rental package consists of the PSP, headphones with in-line remote, and software titles selected by Sony Japan. Of course, if Sony provided 1.5 PSPs with a homebrew application that allows you to read ebooks such as Bookr, I'm sure they'd be more pleased with the package - until they heard that newer PSP firmwares don't run homebrew that is.

Either:
A) Your reading comprehension is at a first grade level
or
B) You can't understand Kyle M.'s crappy writing.
If it's B, I sympathize with you, i have difficulty with it as well sometimes

Maybe Sony should try to make money off of their hardware instead of overpriced games. I know that the system would have to cost more (but not much more--it's only got 32 MB of ram and a 333 Mhz processor) but the games could then be cheaper and more buyable. Besides, no one can really pirate and share a PSP console.

Anyway, what doesn't make sense about it? If homebrew was on the PSPs, it would make it better value for potential buyers. If there isn't, well then it's one less feature.
You cannot read ebooks with a 2.71 PSP, however, you can with a 1.5 - so obviously commuters would prefer to spend time reading an ebook rather than watching the landscape go by.
Now I feel as if I've had to explain a joke. Maybe it's not my writing, but your reading skills. By the way #4 and #8 - we know you are the same person as you have the same IP address.

Wow, good job for figuring that one out, want a cookie? Anybody without the power of looking at my ip could figure that out.
So I didn't capitalize, at least my sentence was halfway coherent.
