Japan's 1seg advertisement
Here's yet another international PSP commercial. This time, we're taking a look at the 1seg device, a handy peripheral which allows Japanese PSP owners to access digital television signals over the air. Unfortunately, 1seg isn't available in America, and the likelihood of us seeing something similar is zero. At least we have the PlayStation Store, right? Wait a minute ...

There's still no word on the US release yet.

PSP sales up 120% due to redesign
Of course, the hardware isn't the only reason why the system is doing so well. The "PSP has no games" argument has been banished to only the most oblivious of internet forum lurkers. As Sony notes, "With 24 first and third-party software titles being released this holiday season, such as SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike and Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of The Lions, as well as new spots for the wildly popular "Dude, get your own" campaign, the PSP will undoubtedly continue to gain momentum through the coming months."
We love seeing the PSP doing well -- being a PSP fan has never been as cool as it is now.
Video: the PSP does a lot of stuff
It seems like Sony is trying to re-educate people on the incredible variety of things that PSP can do. This video, for European audiences, painstakingly uses stop-motion photography to explain all the capabilities of the PSP. It's a bit long, but at least it looks cool.
Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command launches, does anyone care?
However, Games Workshop did manage to sneak out a short demo that gave a very small taste of what gamers can expect from the game. In spite of its length deficiency, the demo definitely showed the game had promise.
To show our remorse, we present you with the game's launch trailer, which THQ kindly sent out two days after the game's actual release.

Today's wackiest video: Exit
It's been a while since we wrote anything about Exit. Then, we saw this video and it changed our lives. This puzzle game from Taito has you safely escorting people out of a burning building -- but you wouldn't know that considering how truly zany and wacky this video is. Maybe it's not the most PSP-related story out there, but it's certainly the most entertaining today. Enjoy!

Monster Hunter 2nd G gets Famitsu'd
As if you need any more reasons to buy this game, here are a few extra details, courtesy of Famitsu. Monster Hunter 2 G will feature a G-Class which will allow you to take on harder quests. To help you on these quests your weapons will be able to be sharpened to a purple level (one above white - apparently) and a "white cat" will be available to help you on your journey. Add to this new equipment, monsters and another level and you've got every Monster Hunter fan's greatest dream. Until Monster Hunter 3 comes out, that is.
The game will be out in Japan on March 13th and there's a rumour that Monster Hunter 2 G will feature an infrastructure mode for online play, but there's no official word on that yet. For more little bits and pieces check out PSP Hyper's write up of the Famitsu details or read the scans for yourself somewhere in this NeoGAF thread.
