LBP for Everybody!

Archive: 34 posts


Hidy Ho Sackfolks! I was just doing my daily sweep of the interwebs (yes, I look at all of the interwebs everyday) and I found a very interesting story over at IGN: http://psp.ign.com/articles/109/1093855p1.html

According to this article, Sony is doing a number of things to promote the PSP starting in June, but the things that caught my attention are:

1) Bundling LBP PSP with the PSPgo (with no increase to the price of the system, still $250 for games and system)
2) Dropping the price of LBP PSP to $19.99

The combination of these two factors may really help to increase the LBP PSP community, and that prospect has me very excited

On a side note, since we are all PSPers, are these other changes:

All these games are having price drops to $9.99:
Ape Escape: On the Loose
Buzz! Master Quiz
Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee
LocoRoco 2
Patapon 2
PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe
SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow
Twisted Metal: Head-On
Justice League Heroes
Manhunt 2
Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection
Silent Hill Origins
Sims 2
The Warriors

All these games are having price drops to $19.99:
Gran Turismo
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance: Retribution
Secret Agent Clank

And these games will now be bundled with the PSPgo (with no increase in price):
SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3
LittleBigPlanet
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters

Hidy Ho Sackfolks! I was just doing my daily sweep of the interwebs (yes, I look at all of the interwebs everyday)

Do you absorb all the information via telepathic connection to the PC, did you build an Intersect (Chuck fan here.), or has your great mind created a way of selecting the best pages and effectively removing all other content from the interwebs itself? I DEMAND ANSWERS, SIR!

(Also, you mean the interwebs that have gotten through the Chinese screen door... literally, it's a screen door. That's how they filter.)

Anyways, exciting find! I might just pick-up RR and Secret Agent Clank now.

This is awesome news - thanks poo! LBP and GT for 20 bucks!? That's craziness. I might have to pick up that Williams Pinball collection... I hear it's pretty good.




(Also, you mean the interwebs that have gotten through the Chinese screen door... literally, it's a screen door. That's how they filter.)This is a confirmed fact. It was discovered that said screen doors made questionable submarine hatches and instead were repurposed to filter the interwebz.

LOL, yeah, I guess it's a lot easier for me to scan the interwebz since there is no Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Myspace, etc... My interwebz are much, much smaller than the rest of yours.

Lucky US Store users, the EU are still getting ripped off for most of those... some are twice the price!

edit: Also, Twisted Metal is redundant since the servers were turned off, and Pixeljunk Monsters has a game-crippling bug at the end. Avoid.

The EU offer (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/06/01/buy-a-new-pspgo-and-get-10-free-games/) is insane. Buy a PSP Go and get 10 GAMES FREE?!?2010-06-02 15:57:00

Yes, but on the other hand you don't get that new UMD smell.

The funny thing is they're realizing how stupid the PSP Go (No offence Taffey) is, and now they're desperate to sell the things.

Umm, seriously?

It easily beats the 2000 & 3000, and the only thing the phat has over it is its hackable...ness...
But people hacked it within the first week or something, so sooner or later someone like DAX will come along and spread the win to everyone again and we can party like it's 2005.

Its just the fact their selling terribly. People aren't ready for download only consoles. (A lot of people don't have online.)

People don't need download only consoles. I will always want to put a disc or UMD in a system over downloading it.2010-06-02 16:47:00

Personally I always favour the download over the UMD (faster loading, less noise!) even if there's a few quid difference. But a lot of classic PSP games will never be released on the store, therefore PSP GO=Fail.

I still rate the 1000 for battery life, durability and general win factor. Hackableness not a factor in my decision, while I used to do that with my DS, I realised the damage it does to the scene and have paid for everything since.

The fact that you can use any PS3 Bluetooth controller is reason enough to have the Go. If you play PS One classics on the Go it even recognizes L2, L3, R2, R3, and both analog sticks. Add an external display just for fun and you have instant, undeniable win.

Besides, I also really like having 32GB of games on hand at a moment's notice.

Actually, you DO realize that a PSP-3000 with a 32GB memory card will end up costing you only $20 more than a PSPGo (depending on where you buy), right? If you go with the 3000, you get the space + UMDs. To put it into other words, I'll list the ups and downs of each*.




PSP-3000

-Can play UMDs
-Nicer fit in your hands
-Can also play downloads
-Many different colors

PSP Go

-Can't play UMDs
-Only two colors currently available
-Doesn't fit nicely in your hands
-Destructoid confirmed that after around 200 start ups and shutdowns, screen shatters on 90% of all Gos**


See Taffey? PSP Gos suck, and PSP 3000s are WAY better, not to mention cheaper!!!



*By reading this, you agree to realize that this is only one man's opinion. Some of the pointers may in fact be true to you, but some may not. In the case that you disagree with them, you agree not to sue me, assassinate me, send a crocodile my way, or harm me in any way. If you wish, you can send me a milkshake though. You also agree that while what you disagree with may be false, in your opinion, which in that case, then, is false, everything else I have said here is true. If you disagree with that, contact me at 1-(800)-UR-GULLIBLE. If for any reason whatsoever you cannot reach that number, live with it. You also agree not to send me a time bomb wrapped up to look like a normal package from the mail. If you do, you must include a return address so I can sue you. You also agree that anything that you consider false, is indeed, not false, and that anything you consider true, you cannot lie and say it's false. You also agree not to send a virus to my computer if you disagree with that which has been stated above. Please continue, and let's argue about this politely, or, at least, as politely as an argument can be.

Ah, well one thing that you forgot is that if you own a PSP Go, you have the ability to fart rainbows. Just like a unicorn. So there!



P.S. I called your 1-800 number an hour ago and I'm still on hold.

The UMD version of LBP is also getting a reduced price in Europe this month, 19.95?.

Let's hope all these promotions really help the community to grow!

Hehe, count on Leonard to go and make a serious post.

Actually, it's leprechauns that can fart rainbows. That's why there's always one leading to a pot of gold.

Also, since ThisIsInsane brought up colors, I've been waiting for a place to say this somewhere on topic...
Black Wii. Seriously Nintendo, do you want to have everyone laughing at the name again?

Wondering what a rainbow fart smells like,

I believe the UK is in Europe, correct?

Indeed, and LBP is getting the price drop. However lots of the other listed games are not dropping for us, and we pay more on average per game anyway.

Plus, while UK is in the EU, they price every EU region's content differently, so having a single EU price isn't always accurate.

When the Go was announced, I just got a $70 16 GB memory stick. That way I get to enjoy my old games without having to rebuy them. I do like downloaded games better. It is like buying five copies of the game for the price of one.2010-06-04 01:24:00

Same. I loved the Ratchet and Clank series on the PS2 but I never got into the PSP one.

WHAAAAT? the psp IMO one is better than the ps2...

-clank challenges that take hours to finish all
-online multiplayer with 12 serevers all with a chat room, and in-game taunts, did i mention the ranks?
-no lag!
-hoverboard races

and that R&C feel... and the great graphics.

i love that game...

the 1000 is sooo awesome I still love mine and wish i still had my 103
but it is indestructable I have broken a few things with it (do not try at home) while it loads stuff
but i feel the most wonderful feature of it was a switch to flik to open the umd slot an that lovely slightly rough texture
the only reason i got a 3000 is that i wore down the batteries on the 1000
