Masi Oka loves his PSP


Time traveling Hiro Nakamura is a fan-favorite character in NBC's superhero drama, Heroes. Masi Oka recently spoke about his undying love for the PSP system, saving him from the more boring aspects of being an actor, like the constant waiting and traveling he must do. "That's all I do on planes, is whip out my PSP and just stay focused on it the whole ride through. I won't even get food. I'm not a big fan of flying, so the PSP system helps me."

Oka takes advantage of all of PSP's capabilities, from games, to music to UMD movies. He's incredibly excited for the advanced Remote Play functionality with the PS3: "With PS3, I'm sure you'll be able to use the PSP system to play games down the line," said Oka. "It'd be cool to play Madden that way. I can't remember all of the plays, and when I'm playing against someone, I don't like the plays to be shown on the screen, but with a PSP, you could select plays for the PS3 Madden and not show anyone what you're thinking."

The full interview is available at PlayStation.com. You can catch Hiro, being a hero, on Heroes on NBC. It returns next Monday at 9PM.

SNL writers distracted by the PSP

Saturday Night Live cast member Jason Sudekis recently had a chat with Yahoo! about video games on the set of the show. Surprisingly, the PSP handheld seems to be the system for the writers and staff of the show. "They all have PSPs there running around Liberty City Stories or playing 18 holes on Hot Shots Golf. Now that PSP is out everyone can play the same game in the same room and you don't have to have a TV."

It appears that his favorite games on the handheld come mostly from Sony's excellent launch with the system: Burnout Legends, Twisted Metal Head-On, and Hot Shot Golf. His top game on the PSP is Lumines (great choice, my man!).

Those of you that are interested in joining the SNL cast one day better start getting your PSPs revved up.
