Hmmmm... They've made it a little harder for us hacked PSPers but I'll have to snag these two somehow.

I have an idea, how about we make it so they CANT buy the games.

How was that even a smart idea?

fuck you flava flav.


where's Call of Duty Classic?

I find it extremely odd that Adhoc Party is unusable unless you have your PS3 hooked up by ethernet cable as opposed to using wireless. Not the biggest deal for me, but I can see where it will alienate some people.

Curse you and your ability to enjoy something that you don't even know what it does!

Adhoc Party lets you play your PSP games online through said games adhoc options. It's a neat idea and I'm really glad they've done it, but I think it's going to be very limited as not everyone is going to own all of the necessary equipment and have the necessary set up. I'm not counting that against them, though, since it's such a unique feature.

Probably won't show up till they stop selling the collectors editions in stores.

I really feel for people who bought the PSPgo and would like to play new games.

[Suave Peanut]

Nice! RE2 for $6? I was expecting $10 like the first game.

I feel for the people who bought Go and would like to play 80% of EXISTING games as well. I am still in shock at the lack of Go support. Was the darn thing just released as a fashion statement? I'm starting to think yes.

$5.99 is a great price point for these PS1 classics. So very tempting.

Yeah, Little Big Planet is out for UMD but not for the Go. It's really odd how they are treating this system.
