I am. So tired. I’ve had a busy schedule this week at my (ugh) night job. Last night = 3.5 hours of sleep. Yuck.

But, money is worth some sleep deprivation, no? :)

Here’s some “updates,” for lack of a better word, that I wanted to throw out there:

1.) Use Cheapassgamer.com It’s no secret, but that is a pretty good place for finding (and posting) gaming deals. The name really says it all. You just have to look past all the junk on there that is of no use to you. And there will be a lot of it.

I don’t know how this site escaped me when I wrote my attempt at a guide to budget gaming. Forgive meh?

2.) Want a cheap handheld? Buy one on ebay with a scratched screen. Not horribly scratched, mind you, but scratched. The mint-condition ones sell for a lot more, and you can remove (hide) the scratches using your RL alchemy profession.

I was skeptical, too. Then I did some more digging and found a forum with several people saying this method worked for them. I’m still a bit skeptical, of course, but considering you can get a beater psp on ebay for $50 if you’re lucky, I think it’s worth the risk. I assume this method would work with a DS as well.

For the psp, though, I recommend you wait a while before buying even a used one. There’s rumors flying around of a whole new psp revision, more than just your run-of-the-mill Sony 1001 -> 2001 -> 3001 minor upgrades. If true, this thing will drive the cost of the older psp’s down.

If you found anything in this post useful, leave a comment and tell me about it! 8)
