To be fair I was under the assumption that he wasn’t intending to capitalize on this situation at all, he did surrender the firearm used and requested it to be destroyed after the proceedings concluded so that it wouldn’t be sold-off and used as some sort of political symbol… It saddens me to learn that he is using such a tragedy to push any form of message other than a anti-firearm cautionary tale.
I was obsessing over these back in the day but it was at the upper end of what I could possibly manage to wangle as a Christmas and Birthday present combined… Then I discovered that a refurbished, like new, PsP 1000 phat could be had for less than half the price that these were retailing for and not only was the modding / emulating scene more active and better supported but it also opened an entire new library of native PsP games.
I don’t regret my choice in the slightest. Although I still think these are really cool.
