I don't know about you, but one of the commercials that gets on my nerves the most is that PSP commercial where this chick is on the bus, at school, etc., playing this little Hannah Montana music game on a purple PSP. A) This girl has obviously NEVER played a video game in her life, and B) If they let you bring a PSP to school, I would be the first one to know... Plus the music in general makes me want to scrape my ears off the sides of my head. Yes, I am another one of those people sick and tired of her.
Not that I'm hatin' on the PSP or anything (I personally LOVE Sony); I've seen the new one here, and it's so awesome I might actually look into getting one. Anyway, the PSP comes in black, silver, and now purple, but only if you buy the $200 pack with a cruddy little Guitar Hero/Sims/whateverthecraptheythoughtof rip-off that you'll probably only play until you get a REAL game (like this one). They've even bumped up the interest factor by not calling it "purple", oh heavens no, it's "lilac". Sure, I think a purple PSP is kind of cool. I mean how often do the make systems in colors that aren't black or white? Plus I am a bit of a sucker for anything purple... But I would never put up with the shame of owning a Hannah Montana game just to get it. Basically all this would appeal to would be 12 and under little girls (or maybe gay guys... No offence or anything.)
This video right here is what got me started on all this. I think it makes a lot of good points. How 'bout we stop making games for girls and stop making games for guys and just make games for everybody? Technically, I'm not too offended by the PSP (been around too many guys, startin' to think I am one, I guess) but some people might be. My question (kind of for girls... Or you non-straight men if you want. Are you like little people and prefer to be called something? Heck, I don't know) is, Are you offended by the more female-geared games? I kind of am, 'cause all the girly games suck. And I mean ALL of them SUCK suck. They double suck. All of them.
