Thanks for the background color tip, I was wondering why my background color was red and not blue. I bought my PSP at the USA store ToysRus, however my unit does suffer from one stuck pixel. They would not exchange it but did offer me my money back which I declined. The ISO standard on acceptable “dead pixels” in my opinion is an outrage. I actually felt that I bought “B stock” from Sony while paying “A stock” prices. ToysRus also requried me to 2 games to be eligible to buy the PSP, so my out the door price was $399.09 USD, including the two games and tax. Not cheap. I will probably go out and buy Ridge Runner on your recommendation. I agree with your idea of a hard disk in lieu of UMD’s, poor design by Sony but what would the PSP2 be like if they were so innovative on the first go-round?

Love the PSP post you’re writing, thank you.
