Sailor §trange

Well I've finally gone and done it - I put a PSP on laybuy.

It's a special edition Crisis Core one, with CC pictures on the casing and the CC game in the package.
The whole laybuy is that package, a memory card, Final Fantasy 1 and 2. The card is a 4 Gig one, they had no 1 Gig in stock but I preferred to get the bigger one anyway.

I still have about $350 to pay on all of that, and I put down $200 when I made the laybuy. I didn't laybuy Revenant Wings with it however, and I'm going to have to get other accessories (like protective cases and such) for it later. But this does mean when I get the PSP home, I'll have four games and a memory card to use on it.

The next several weeks' money is going to be totally taken up with paying it off however, with only phone bills and maybe fuel that I can really allow for. I'm hoping to get $100 on it each fortnight, barring whichever the next phonebill hits on.

You know, it's so interesting to watch the effect new canon has on a longstanding fandom. It's kinda fun to sit back and watch fandom explosions when people get Jossed - like what has happened in the last two HP books, or as I have been getting inklings of, in Doctor Who with some of the contents of the new series' second season - or the FF7 fandom with all the stuff coming out due to the Complication Compilation.

It's been under a week since Crisis Core pictures have hit the fandom and I am already amused that Soldier shippers are starting to write smut fics that includes Angeal - the CC character who is suposedly Zack's mentor and Sephiroth's friend.

It's rather a cute idea Zack being the inexperienced youngster of the group - something that up until now Cloud has always been.

I do however wonder at what point Angeal disappears. He sure ain't there in Nibelheim so how are Squeenix going to get rid of him? I have been idly contemplating the possibilty that his death contributes to Sephiroth's "coldness" by the time of Nibelheim and, to some extent, his eventual madness.

Hrrrmmmrr.
