First, PSP's are used for education, now for studying and training?]


I'm thinking it's time for a new slogan. PSP: It Only Does Everything?

Sometimes, the government just needs to spend your money on some stupid shit.

It's kind of like having a girlfriend or a wife.

Yeah, I tried the ol' "I'm studying with the Super Nintendo" trick with my parents back in the day.

It never worked :(

True Story: I was able to purchase the original Mario Tennis because I told my mother I would learn to play tennis by playing it.

If psp hardware was converted into a graphing calculator, it would be very epic. Many magnitudes better than any TI-89

I used to be a linguist in the Navy, and everyone I worked with got free iPods with language training software except me because I was deployed. So lame.

Hey, I only wish the U.S. navy would do this. Then my brother has no reason not to own and play a PSP.

I sort of want that engineering software. Whatever it might be.

The PSP is great for gaming, but it would also be nice if I could do some nice math or something like that on it

Agreed! I'm mostly joking in the post above, and think it's probably not a terrible idea at all. For comedy's sake, I went with the "Reginald" hook. I hope it didn't come across too seriously!

I read the source article and noted that the preloaded software comes with some courses for elementary electrical engineering. I'd be interested in that, myself . . . though I guess I could also just break out my old textbooks. I also found this quote interesting: "A Sony representative visiting HMS Collingwood hurled one against a wall to prove its durability." It seems one of the reasons the PSP was chosen for this over "other consoles" was its resistance to damage.

Too bad regular coders have to fight against SCE's firmware and hardware updates in order to get their homebrew running on PSP. How unfair.

Ok, I use my PSP for studying..sometimes..not all the time, but frequently to watch some video tutorials, or documentaries, while going to work, comign back home etc. Off course that doesn't defeat the primary purpose of a PSP. ..PSone/ Snes / GBA EMULATION!!!
LOL!
