While checking the QJ.NET PSP Updates blog for this week's PSP Weekend Warrior, something struck me as odd. I couldn't pinpoint it exactly at first but eventually it dawned on me: we didn't see any PSP2 rumors this week! Or any hardware-centric news for that matter. The games have picked up the slack, though, with a couple of new game confirmations and more good news for the retro-minded PSP owners out there. Read on for the rest of the PSP Weekend Warrior!

No rant this week, but I'm gonna pay a little homage to Ghostbusters, one of my favorite shows ever. The first video is the complete version of Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" movie theme song.

This second one is the opening from "Extreme Ghostbusters". I've always been wary of anything with the word "EXTREME" slapped in front of it, but I still ended up watching this show thanks to Sony's insidious trick of putting in Kylie. Haha. Yeah. In my defense, the show also did have a few good stories. See you guys next week.
