This post is a little off subject but interesting nonetheless. A regular visitor of our blog sent in a video that was created with a free website and a few minutes of free time. As you know we have a contest going on for the best PSP Blender video. The person that submits the best video will receive a free PSP with firmware v1.5 and a 8GB memory stick to get them started. Below you can see the video Im talking about with a link to the site to get you started.

One of the great things about the PSP is the awesome ability to use a web browser at any wifi spot you encounter. Well sometimes I want to see Youtube content to a freind but the PSP has a VERY old version of flash and because of this Youtube does not work under normal circumstances.

Now there is a way to view all you favorite Youtube videos on the go. A new site that has launched, and is still in beta actually, is set to make thing alot easier for the PSP user.

The only drawback is that you still need a PC to do this, yeah I know it sucks, but it is a step in the right direction.

Here is how to watch all you favorite YouTube vids on the go.

1. Find a video you want to watch, in this case I will point to a video I made of me playing Outrun 2006 on a dual monitor setup direct feed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTkazvfVtLk (yes I know I suck LOL)
2. Go to http://vixy.net/ and copy and paste the URL (web address) into the provided space
3. Select the mp4 format (iPod/PSP)
4. Hit the convert button and wait for the conversion to take place
5. when it is done you will be taken to a download page, but the PSP can not download these videos with the URLs this site spits out, so we use a trick go to http://lix.in/ and copy and paste the download link into the space provided, you can’t miss it… no I mean it, and hit “Protect Link”
6. you now have a short PSP freindly url you can use on the PSP web browser to download the newly converted video
7. click all links needed to get back to the download page and hit save on the PSP and then make sure you save to the /VIDEO folder of your PSP
8. after a bit of a download your video is now on you PSP memory stick ready to watch anywhere you take you psp to

Enjoy your new ability to take Youtube with you on your PSP

Everybody loves YouTube.com. It has examples of everything you’d want to watch, from Lonelygirls to football goals, old men complaining to Goths crying. The only trouble is our lack of time. If only we could catch up with everyone else by watching that funny bad advert from the ’80s while commuting to work. If only there was some way…

Go to YouTube and pick the video you want to convert. We chose a video about blenders, as it was the top rated clip the day we looked. Go up to the address bar, click it, and Ctrl-C to copy the video’s address.
Go to YouTubeX.com. Paste your video’s address into the main box and click Get Video. Click Download and save your video to the desktop.
Right click your newly downloaded video and change the name from get_video to get_video.flv. You may be asked if you’re sure you want to change the file extension, in which case you should reply that you are.
Go to TVC’s homepage and click Free Download. Save the file to the desktop, then double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Run the Total Video Converter programme. Click on get_video.flv and hold the left mouse button down. Drag the video into TVC’s Track List Window. On the screen that pops up choose PSP Mpeg4. Click Convert Now and wait while it does its thing.
Now all you have to do is put the converted video on your PSP. Follow our guide to do just that and you’re away.

If everything goes according to play, eyeVio — the new video sharing service launched by Sony — will get bought out by Google, just like YouTube before it. Then again, I don’t think Sony is as willing to sell off portions of its business.

The eyeVio service is scheduled to launch in Japan (only) today, providing users with a space where they can share “my life, your emotion.” Whatever that means.

Videos can be remotely uploaded via portable devices (like cell phones and web-connected PDAs) using the mobile version of the site (m.eyevio.com). On the flip side, videos can be downloaded in PSP-compatible formats for later viewing. They’d probably work on iPods too, but Sony wouldn’t say.

Will this be another PS3? Powerful but with no one caring? Or will it be the killer app to revitalize interest in the PSP? Considering that Japan is currently Nintendo-land, I think it’s pretty safe to draw certain conclusions.

We are offering a new PSP Blender video / graphic contest. Submit your video or graphics for a chance to win a PSP with firmware version 3.03 OE-C complete with a 8GB memory stick and accessory package. Below are some videos we recently had submitted.

“Homebrew coders push the boundaries on the PSP again, StrmnNrmn has released a new version of his Nintendo 64 emulator for the PSP that has been confirmed to play Mario 64 at Full Speed on Sony’s Handheld. A full Compatibility listing is available with games such as Starfox64 playble too.”

Play a game in multiplayer mode against a friend when only one of you has the  UMD for the game. It’s a rather simple hack that’s easy to perform, yet saves  everyone money in the long run (besides Sony of course)

We ran across this video and began to wonder if it was actually possible to get a free PS3. We had a friend try it out and its not a scam at all - they had to jump through a few hoops, but it absolutely works. The company that promotes this offer is well known and trusted…
