CyJen - Odds and Ends

August 30, 2008, an estimate of 60,000 fans, all for the love of the Eraserheads, waited for hours at the The Fort Bonifacio Open Field just to be able to watch the bands reunion concert.

If you were not able to watch the concert live on last Aug. 30, you might as well not miss the Eraserheads Reunion Concert The Movie .  Smart Buddy and Sony BMG, will be presenting a 35 millimeter full length movie of the said concert.  The movie will be shown simultaneously in theaters in Metro Manila and Cebu starting Wednesday, November 26.

The movie captures the highlights of the biggest concert ever, state of the art sounds and lights, magnificent fireworks display, Eraserheads hits performed on stage and the different faces and emotions of fans that were at the concert.  It was not just a reunion concert, the event healed the rift among the four members of the band.  Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro.

Since we were not able to attend the concert last August 30, I just had to have this album.  I was only able to buy the album last sunday, after going to more than 10 different music stores.  Every single one of the stores sold out the album.

Listening to it still gives me goosebumps… Its as if I was still at the concert… waiting for the continuation of the cut-short concert… more… more… more…

Sony released the third series of their PlayStation Portable (PSP), the PSP-3000, dubbed as "PSP Slim and Brite ".  The hand held device is now available in the United States and across North America starting October 14 and in Europe starting October 15, there’s also a scheduled release in Australia and Japan on October 16.  There will be bundle packs and core packs coming out for the PSP-3000 series.

In comparison to the PSP-2000 Slim and Lite, the PSP-3000 has an improved Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen with an increased colour range, five times the contrast ratio, half the pixel response time to reduce ghosting and blurring effects, and anti-reflective technology to improve outdoor playability.  It has an integrated microphone, the goal of which is to establish the PSP as "a viable communication device".  PSP games will now be playable on interlaced (non-progressive scan) televisions via composite video cables.  The Start and Select buttons have changed from semi-circles to ovals, with the home button being replaced by a "PS Button" similar to the PlayStation 3’s DualShock 3.
