Here's one straight out of left field. A new peripheral for the PSP has been released, and it's a magnifier no less. Providing 1.6 magnification, this thing makes you wonder about who felt compelled to create such a device when the PSP screen is already over four inches. However, to its credit, the price is a meager $8. Overkill or useful? You decide-

I can't see how you could go wrong for just $8

Seriously, I don't like it. Because of the fact it's only in your face as you can see. And not only that but you would have to look at it in only one way and that is straight at it which can cause serious neck or wrist problems.
One thing i like about it though is that maybe it can make the veiwers (or who I like to call The Brain Drained) see the low budget graphics that are put into these games. Maybe they can also see the long loading bar that takes so long to freakin load!!!!

hmm... maybe it would be usefull for people who actually watch movies on their psp since your pretty much looking straigh at the screen when watching. Can't really tell without seeing it in action though...

Man, I liked the magnifier for the gameboy. But for the PSP, which has already a fat ass wide LCD display, I don't think I'd like to see the pixels magnified.
IMHO pretty useless. But I like how it's the first peripheral or *anything* for the PSP with a reasonable price.

maybe 1.6 magnification is enough for other purpose but it's not to play game.

This is just a waste of time how big do you want the screen anyway the screen is just the perfect size and if you have bad eyes get glasses

Even the low price doesn't justify this. You're better putting the cash towards saving for those bionic eye implants you've always wanted.
