Gorgeous figure from Kotobukiya, 1/8 scale of Elmina from Shining Wind.

But Yui is excited!

The biggest thing is that Sony claimed that the PSP2 can produce PS3-like graphics, much like how the original PSP can produce PS2-like graphics. They even got the device up and running with game demos!

Even Kojima himself have did a very quick port of Metal Gear Solid 4 to the PSP2, with no optimization to the code what-so-ever, and it ran smoothly at about 20FPS.

I’m buying for sure when it releases.

Pictures from Sony Japan:

The device sports this features:

• 5-inch OLED touchscreen with 960×544 resolution (PSP resolution is 480 × 272)
• ARM Cortex A9 Quad Core CPU
• SGX543MP4 GPU
• Storage: Some sort of new mini flash storage (Good bye slow loading games.)
• Touch pad on the back
• 3G and Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b/g/n connectivity (3G will be the first for portables)
• Cameras on the front and back
• Dual analog sticks (Finally)
• SIXAXIS controls (Gyro + Accelerometer)
• GPS
• Built-in stereo speakers, mic
• Bluetooth 2.1+EDR
• Size: 182.0 x 18.6 x 83.5mm (It actually looks the same size as the current PSP)

Not too sure about their new interface though, hope it’s improved, or fixed by themes, as always.

The new flash media. No more UMDs, no more slow loading games, easier storage.

Touchpad on the back of the PSP2, seems like more actions can be done using this touchpad.

White color’s available too, but I think black’s nicer.

For the event coverage check the one by Engadget.

Well since last week McDonald’s is being having the “McDonald’s Miniature Set” promotion where you can buy one of the featured miniature of the week with any purchase of their Extra Value Meal for $2.50, or just buy the whole set of 6 + a box to keep all of them for $25. $25 may sound a bit steep at first but if you want to collect all of them, buying the set is the way to go, imagine yourself ordering 6 separate meals. *_*

The whole set as it is.

In all their glory. ^^;

Also after all those post about Mandarake by the folks over at figure.fm, I have to try them out too, and my, they’re like a hunting ground for older or rare items. A minefield too if you prefer.

Brought the Lucky Star Winter Uniform Ver. figmas I’ve being hunting around for so long, Konata hasn’t arrived yet though, she’s in a separate shipment.

They’re very nice about their product status. Mine all has the “box slightly damaged” status on it, but besides from the Miyuki figma, which was just a small bump on the side of the box shown so it’s all cool, I can’t find any of their “slightly damage”. Looks perfectly new.

Photoshoot time!

More or less the same budget setup, but I moved most stuff to the desk.

Using iPhone as source of lighting!

Maximizing use of any thing that you have.

Sisterly love. ((o^~^o))

Oo! Kagami’s pushing something over to me right now.

Brought a box of chocolates over at the local store “Yamakawa Super” at Jurong Point, which is a store full of imported Japanese snacks, drinks, ingredients like curry, lots of things.

Has anyone tried this before? Meltykiss Green Tea Chocolate by meiji. It’s super nice.

Got to say I love the box.

Azusa seems to like it too!

But the shape of the chocolate seems kind of familiar… you know..
