Holy shit, I hadn't touched my DS lite since I got the slim (never thought I'd say that) and after picking it up to charge today, the damn thing feels like a brick in comparison. Amazing!

I'm finding myself playing the PSP even more now. Usually it was just at work, during lunch and breaks, but now I'm coming home and playing it. Jeanne D'Arc, FF Tactics and Castlevania are consuming most of my game playing time. I haven't touched my PS3 or 360 in about a week.

In Rondo of Blood do you gain levels and have an inventory/equipment like you do in Symphony of the Night? Or is it more similar to the older Castlevania games?

I know these two games are from two vastly different genres, but I need help deciding. I have some money left on a Best Buy gift card and I'm trying to decide between getting either Wipeout Pure or GTA: Vice City Stories. Which one offers more bang for the buck, in terms of graphics and replayability?

Of the two, I prefer GTA : VCS as it's more my type of game. But both are excellent games with supurb graphics and a very reasonable price. You won't go wrong either way.

Still there are lots of different classes and races and many more are available for free download online, which is nice.

I suspect that the original will end up on the Wii's Virtual Console at some point now, given that a translated version of the original is on the collection and is very, very likely just an emulation of the PC-Engine original and that VC now supports TG16/PCE CD-Rom².

So what exactly is Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus? Is it an add-on for Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops? Or is it a new, enhanced version of the MGS:PO?

I think I would rather have a good emulation of Rondo on the Wii. I still have the PS1 SotN so I don't have interest in playing a badly emulated version on the PSP.

As a whole DCX is pure bliss. The port of Rondo feels perfect, although I never played an actual PC Engine, only played it through emulator. The Remake of Rondo is incredible. It looks and plays great. It's been tweaked enough (controls slightly differently, seems a little harder in a good way) that it feels almost like a new game. Which is ok since the original is included. It's the best of both worlds.
All in all having these games portable is fantastic. For $29.99 it's a hell of a deal.
The SotN port may not have a ton of new content, but it's a great game already. Seeing as how it's a bonus game and it's a more refined version of the PS1 classic, I don't know what more you could ask for.
It's a must buy.

memory card ??
I'm a PSP newbie. I copied some wmv, mov and mp3 files to my memory card, but my PSP slim does not see them.
Do I have to convert the movie files?
And what about the mp3's? do they need to be in a special file structure for the PSP to see them?
thankz
