Re: The Official PSP Thread - Part 3
So I was just playing my Go, and wanted to switch games. Hit the home button, end game, and now it is stuck on 'please wait' I slid it shut (which I have set to sleep mode) and nothing. Hold down the off switch and nothing. Guess I will wait for the battery to go dead, and hope for the best.

Re: The Official PSP Thread - Part 3
So with new PSP Go purchases (or if you haven't conected yours to the PSN yet) you get a download option of either LittleBigPlanet or the Assassin's Creed game.
Now that there's somewhat of a bonus to getting a PSP Go (wish we got the European UMD trade in deal) I'm thinking about getting one, but having a hard time finding a deal on the hardware itself.
Newegg has the white one for $200 but they only have 3% cashback. I'm considering getting one off ebay for $180 after cashback but feel like I can find cheaper.
Anyways, promo heads up for everyone out there. Runs through the 21st of March I believe (probably right before they announce the new one.)

Well the battery finally went dead, and I put it in the cradle, and it came back on. Guess its like the old PSP locking up, but with no battery to pull.

Re: The Official PSP Thread - Part 3
So here's the story... I ordered a PSP Go off of ebay. Never heard from the guy, thought I got scammed, so I ordered another one. That one showed up, I registered it and got my free LittleBigPlanet game. And then... the original one showed up.
I can't really return it. So my option is to sell it unopened, or open, get the free game and then sell the PSP Go. If I were to get an extra LittleBigPlanet download code, would anyone here want to buy it for $30? If not, I'll just sell the Go unopened and hope to recoup most of my costs.

Re: The Official PSP Thread - Part 3
Codes are being sent to random people for an early demo of Modnation Racers for the PSP. I already got the demo through Qore and have an extra code if anyone would like it. Post here if you want it and I'll send it to you (if they haven't sent you one already.)

Just announced:
God of War: Ghost of Sparta Announced for PSP!
Posted by Eric Levine // SCEA PR Manager
God of War fans –
I’m pleased to share some exciting news involving our favorite Spartan warrior. Fresh off his incredible run in God of War III, Kratos will be coming back to PSP and PSPgo in God of War: Ghost of Sparta!
The last time we saw Kratos on the portable platform was in God of War: Chains of Olympus, a game that coupled stunning visuals with stellar gameplay and is still the highest rated PSP title of all-time on Metacritic.com. So what can you expect this time?
First of all, it’s developed by Ready At Dawn Studios, in close collaboration with SCEA’s Santa Monica Studio, so we have the same talented team that brought you Chains of Olympus — they know the franchise and know what it takes to create an amazing game. I can also tell you from
first-hand experience that we are pushing the limits of what PSP can do with state-of-the-art visual technologies, higher resolution environments, and greater depths of scale. We’re also providing over 25% more gameplay, an improved weapon system, and new magical powers — all enjoyed anytime, anywhere.
Here are a few screens to give you a taste of the action…
As for the storyline, this new adventure will serve as a prequel of sorts, picking up where God of War left off. Ghost of Sparta tells the story of Kratos’ ascension to power as the God of War. In his quest to rid the nightmares that haunt him, Kratos must face his dark past to prove his worthiness to the Gods — a journey that will reveal the origins of lost worlds and finally answer long-awaited questions about Kratos’ tattoo, scar, and family.
Well, that’s all I can tell you right now, but we’ll have plenty more to share as we move closer to E3 and our release later this year, so stay tuned for more God of War: Ghost of Sparta news and be sure to keep an eye on SpartansStandTall.com and http://forums.godofwar.com for updates
Looks like I'm not done with the PSP after all!

Re: The Official PSP Thread - Part 3
After a few years in hibernation, I recently brought out my PSP and bought a bunch of games from the recent Gamestop sale. I've been having a blast catching up. Can't wait for the new God of War game!

Re: The Official PSP Thread - Part 3
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep comes out September 7th.
XSEED has formed a partnership with Falcom (a company I've praised on countless occasions but has remained mostly Japanese exclusive) to bring out six PSP games in the next year or two. First up is Ys Seven, which is a absolute MUST BUY for any action RPG fan, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, a game I consider in my Top Ten of All Time though I don't know how well the PSP version translates from the PC original (for reference, Ys: The Ark of Napishtim which runs on a similar engine did NOT translate well to PSP, but that was ported by Konami whereas OiF is ported by Falcom themselves) and Ys I & II Chronicles, yet another version of these two games (but the most solid and complete of them all). Then there's three games which form a trilogy in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. I can't comment on this one but a friend of mine swears that this is probably the best turn-based RPG series she has ever played (and she's played them all).

Re: The Official PSP Thread - Part 3
The Ys stuff definitely has my interest and Birth By Sleep looks very cool. I'm not that interested in God of War, but I guess any major titles for the PSP is a good thing now with so little coming out for the system.

Re: The Official PSP Thread - Part 3
Ys is one of my favorite series.. but I'd hardly consider them "big."
I'm actually wondering what madness XSEED must be suffering to commit to six niche games for such a slow platform.

Pixy, did you get to play an imported Birth By Sleep yet? Any word on how it is? I'm hoping it's better than 365/2, which didn't do much for me. Why can't we get a next gen Kingdom Hearts 3? That would be on the top of my "must buy" list.

At a glance it looks like Crisis Core with a Kingdom Hearts makeover. A student I asked said it was pretty good. If you liked Crisis Core...?

Re: The Official PSP Thread - Part 3
Nah, I only did that with KH2 since I had near atomic levels of hype built up for that one. I've heard great things about it though, it doesn't appear to be as derivative of an installment as 358/2 Days was considered to be. "Next gen" systems won't be out for several years and this IS basically KH3 (although a prequel).

That does sound like an amazing deal, but seeing as we in the US never got the original European PSPgo deal (allowing for download versions of three PSP games you already owned), I wouldn't count on this one either.

Just picked up some import games (okay, okay, they're Gundam games). I really hope they don't get rid of the UMDs, considering there's no way I could play games from another region on the Go.
