The final issue of the epic "Scott Pilgrim" series hit stores yesterday. The comic has always had a ton of video game references, and it takes just five pages for the first one in "Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour." Scott is seen, on his couch, playing a PSP Go. For a series that's always been extremely savvy about video games, it's a bit shocking that one of the more maligned hardware releases in recently years would be played by its hero. Are we starting to see the influence Sony has over "Scott Pilgrim" creator Bryan Lee O'Malley? After all, the "Scott Pilgrim" downloadable game is exclusive to PSN for two weeks before it comes to XBLA.
Ah, but if we read on, there's clearly no love lost between O'Malley and the PSP Go:
So basically Young Neil dumped the PSP Go on Scott...at a loss of $50. Not exactly resounding support for the device. Congrats O'Malley, your gamer rep comes through unstained.
(By the way, you should read "Scott Pilgrim." It's awesome. And the upcoming downloadable game doesn't appear too much bad in it, either.)
