OK, it’s no surprise that downloadable PSOne games for the PSP have been available for download in Japan etc. but now the service has been launched officially in the US.
Even so, there are just five to choose from, each costing around £4 a pop. This is the line up: Cool Boarders, Crash Bandicoot, Hot Shots Golf 2, Syphon Filter, and Tekken 2. They are for sale via the Playstation Store and Sony, along with third party publishers, plan to add a few more to the list in the coming months.
However, early reports are that all is not well in Emulation Land. Apparently the games run slow and, with the likes of Tekken 2, they gobble more than 500MB of your expensive Memory Stick.

O2 has decided that offering to bling people’s phones could be a Christmas winner. It could be right, too.
The only problem is that in order to get your O2 phone tattooed for free – yes FREE – you need to point your happy feet towards its store at 368 Oxford St, London.
Professional designers and tattooists RazorLab will be on hand until December 23rd to personalise your phone with a selection of very cool etchings. You can even bring your own. It takes around 20 minutes per phone and the peeps at GadgetCandy say that the O2 Angels are even on hand to dole out some stress relieving massages.
Vodafone, hello, Vodafone? Come in Vodafone! Lynch calling Vodafone!. Bling my phone you cheap bastards! -Martin Lynch

It’s Christmas which means it's time to mix pets and robotics, with varying degrees of success. The shops are filled will all manner of mechanical creatures from ‘Raptor-this’ to ‘Mega that’ . In staying with the theme, here’s one puppy that won’t spend Christmas shitting on your carpets and eating your cushions.
However, with an in-built VGA camera capable of 30fps video he just might catch you falling on your ass after too much grog or getting amorous with the missus under the mistletoe.
He’s a USB-powered dog with a Web-cam in his nose. When not making embarrassing videos of you, he will even do some tricks (sitting, that is). Jump now for full specs and tricksy pose shots. Yours for about £15 from Brando.-Martin Lynch
