The PSP is leaving the Japanese train station

Posted on by

As Sony retire the PSP in Japan, I look back at one of my favourite PSP franchises. To me, Densha De Go was the PSP. I’ve moved on to the PS Vita now — that was a Day Zero purchase on the strength of the PSP system, and again the long-lasting games are the ones that attract me (notably another Need for Speed, in this case Most Wanted, and Little Big Planet). But if there was one game (indeed franchise) that I think of when the PSP is mentioned, it’s Densha De Go. Read on at Medium.com.

Is the strain of the train mitigated by the Trainline app?

Coming from the Trainline website – which acts as a central ticket agent for all the UK train companies – this utility application is aimed at the frequent traveller, allowing you to check train times and fares from the handset, and then buy your tickets from your phone without having to worry about call centres, complicated websites, or a very long queue to the one ticket sales counter open in the station. I think it is! Full review at All About Symbian.

Arrived in Moscow at the Eurovision Stadium

A quick post just to let you all know that I’m now all sorted in Russia, I’ve found my bed for the week, I’m all checked, tagged, rfid’ed and handed the Eurovision equivalent of the SXSW Big Bag at the Olympic Stadium. I’m also wondering if it was just wrong of me to thoroughly enjoy the trip in on the Airport ‘Express’ train in a carriage that rattled like the old Cowdenbeath to Edinburgh rickety diesel I remember from the late 70s?
