    Hey Joel, I use a 16GB card in my PSP. I think you can have a 32GB, but you had to have a hacked PSP.

    • http://www.psnation.org/ Joel

      I have so much content downloaded that no card could hold it all. ;)

    • http://psnation.org Josh

      Doesn’t need to be hacked.  PSP will take a 32Gb card no problem.  I have a 32 and a pair of 16′s and I still need space =(

    Will you guys be reviewing that ps3 headset when it comes out

      I think Josh will, because he pre-ordered it from Amazon.

    Glad you guys liked the Home shopping idea, I’d like to say it was my idea but that’s honestly what I thought was there when I saw the shopping mall!

    Glad to have saved anyone the hassle of buying splinter cell and not being able to play it, hope the fix that I had wanted to get through those games.

    Joel – had me in stitches with, “Hey Europe, you still there?”

    Very keen to know the capacity of the Vita but I’m also really keen to know the battery life. I put off buying a PSP for ages because of the battery until my girlfriend got me one for Christmas. Battery life was pretty crap overall and as mentioned, it’s always dead when I’ve left it a while even having switched it properly off.

    Also took the PSP with me on my last 2 holidays to the US, with all the free wi-fi spots in hotels and airports and stuff I’ve never been able to connect to anything. Including my external drive plugged into the PS3 I have a total of over 2TB over storage so have access to a huge library of video/music content via remote play. Really hope that whole thing works better on the Vita.

    Great show as usual.

    Love you guys, love the show. But Boy Golly do I ever zone out when you guys start talking football. I find myself skipping ahead in the podcast ever few min, till I don’t hear the terms  “NFL” -” Packers” – “Football”.

    I enjoy the podcast, but your sports talk(game related or not) are always the low point of listening for me.

    Just my personal preference. Love the show other than that.

    • http://www.psnation.org/ Joel

      Yeah we do love American (NFL) football and can therefore talk about it for quite a while at times. Hopefully the NFL Ticket info was at least informative rather than just being run-of-the-mill football talk.

      Appreciate the feedback!

      PS. Go Pack Go. ;)

        You mention real football now and then so it’s ok ;) … is interesting to hear how complicated it is to get all the games when you want them.

        As a side note, in the UK the Football/Soccer matches at Premier league level are mostly with Sky Sports … I’m afraid Xbox 360 has the Sky Player so PS3 owners are a little out of luck…

        That said Iplayer on the PS3 just used to send us to a ps3 version of the web site but since the last big patch it’s an actual application now, which is nice.

    You guys forgot to mention there are some new mini missions for inFamous 2 by SuckerPunch on the PSN store as well to all the DLC that came with the Hero Edition.

    Active 2 you could find two flaws, one is that when you start doing  overheard tricep kickbacks, at times when you start to bring them down, the game doesn’t recognize you brought them one and you have to ether bend your knees more that desired or arch you back, a no-no. Also sometimes the cardio censor reads that you have a lower heart rate when you start running, kind of odd since you could feel like 150 on those situations.

      I was having loads of problems with Active 2 then realised I was wearing the leg sensor upside down. Works great now overall and I can really feel I’m getting a good all round workout as opposed to the hiking/cycling I had been doing.

      I do find occasionally it struggles with completing a rep of various thing, sometimes you have to squat down real low and hold for what seems like an eternity to register a rep done. Not bad at first but towards the end of a hard workout it’s a killer!
