Gaming Consoles: PSP

2009-09-25T19:25:00.004+04:00

PlayStation Portable by far is my favorite console, maybe because i grew playing Play Station rather than Nintendo, so when the news for a hand held play station came out, i was so exited, and when i got my PlayStation Portable 1000 i was already up on the seventh cloud, there was 2 different packs at that time, the normal one with the 32 mb memory, and the 1 giga pack, but what thous packs had

Gaming Consoles: PlayStation 3

2009-09-11T14:16:00.001+04:00
