So I have been downloading a few Google videos to my PSP, which is a great little feature of the site. Since I was spending 10+ hours on airplanes this week, I decided to break down and try the purchase service and buy Kobe’s 81 point performance from Google to put on my PSP.
Bad idea. First off, there is no indication that videos you purchase will not be available in PSP format. But they aren’t. You can ONLY watch them by downloading the “Google Video Player”. What a big hassle. So I downloaded the dumb thing and tried to watch the video on my PC at home (that is pretty stout, by the by) and it crashed every single time I opened it. I tried about 5 times to watch the video and none of the controls worked. Every time I would click on any menu item or button, it would lock up with the hourglass cursor and that was it.
$4 poorly spent.
