Grabbed Prinny and Um Jammer Lammy.  Now have both Lammy and Parappa on my PSP, and Persona in the UMD drive.  I might never need another system again.  <_<
 
In the past month or so I've become insanely glad I own a PSP.  Tonight just sealed my love for what the PSPGo is doing to distribution, even if I'll never pick one up. 

Gran Turismo and Persona 

Awesome

Don't buy it Jeff. When will you ever use it. I mean, really? These things are for kids sitting in the back of cars on long journeys or people commuting on the train. If I want to play a game I'll sit down and play a console or a PC. If I'm outside I don't really want to be playing games. I do enough of that inside!

hm, i don't think you (Jeff) should get the GO. if you're just gonna be gaming and already have a substantial amount (4+ maybe?) of umds then you're better off getting the 3000 (or 2000 if you're so inclined). there's no need to get a huge memory card as well since you'll just be using it for saves. sony's said they're gonna be continuing umd releases so unless they've changed their mind and i missed it you really won't need lotsa memory stick space.

I think you're seeing a bunch of stuff coming on strong from the PSP because they priced dropped the PSP devkit by like 80%.

Yeah that is a list

fuck 
i gave my bro my PSP and am now seriously thinking about jumping back in.  I wish some DS games were this cheap.  Cheapest i can find is 20 bucks, even for games that suck ass.  BUt I am still debating which I should get.  THe PSP 3000 has the ghosting problem.  The GO doesnt but it is super expensive.  Maybe if it goes down in price later, because i dont think sales can be sustained with the PS3 being only 50 bucks more.

This is kinda making me want to dust off the ol' psp and start grinding again

Near 300 hours on Monster Hunter Freedom Unite!
 
Honestly, I didn't think I'd play for this long. But it's pretty much on par with WoW.
 
Too bad I don't have friends that even own a PSP... let alone have the patience to learn how to play MH.
 
 
One thing though, I'd buy a lot of PSP games on PSN if I can play it on my PS3.

It all depends on how much you care about those existing games you have on UMDs and how much you care about owning new physical media in the future. It would suck if Atlus had this fuck awesome P3 Portable bundle and you didn't have a way to get it on a PSPgo w/o buying it again. But hey, maybe they can do that digital copy thing that DVDs/Blu-rays have been doing.

ugh, digital downloads make it so easy to throw away money.  Must.. resist..

no patapon?

Man psp games are CHEAP in the us!
 
we pay 60 dollar for new psp games in denmark (300kr ca) and at least 40 for older ones... fucking insane

I'm trying so hard to not be a  day one buyer but the bug keeps on biting.

" no patapon? "

Aww, where's B-Boy??  That's a....gem that needs to be Holy Hell! Nuclear Strike!! Yes! Strike series remake not at all confirmed! 
 
@peeweeh Patapon is already on PSN. It came out a couple of weeks ago.

Dang. I think I'm gonna get a PSP Go. I like my current PSP, but the PSP Go! is a sexy beast, that's a lot more durable and lighter than the PSP 2000 I have. Also, my Memory Stick Duo has a micro stick in it as well, which means transferring over all my digital stuff would be painless. All the games that I would want to play on the PSP Go! would eventually go on the store, and I could sell my old 2000 and all my games for enough of a pretty penny to make the price not nearly as bad as it looks. 
 
 
 
Man, I'm brainwashed.

Probably want to see how the PSPgo feels before you buy.  Quite a few people have said the thing is just too dang small for them to hold.

Just got Persona and I am enjoying that like a mofo. ... on my PSP 2000. Fuck owning the right to download the game and not actually, you know, owning the game. 

Once again this list makes me want to get a PSPGO, although it is stupid expensive.

Finally the motivation to buy Work Time Fun!

Damn, son.  Prinny UMD on amazon.ca is still $50.  Effin' niche raep.  Better grab that just in case... and WTF, WTH.
People were super excited about the PSP in 2005. And now it's coming around again. The last year has been great. It's like, once UMD movies died, people figured out that this little black device was meant for gaming and they'd better damn well do something.

Speaking as a PSP early adopter, I'll be getting a PSP-3000 soon because I want the best of both worlds (well, three including my CFW PSP fat), and would like to play the major stuff I haven't finished yet on my TV for a change.  Also CFW only takes you so far with new releases and PSN.
However I vote against the Go for many reasons:

• Smaller screen. (By half an inch.)
  
• Another nail in the coffin of game retailers. (Yes, I care about that for some reason...)
• Another nail in the coffin of consumer ownership vs. corporate licensing. (Oh, that's why!)
  
• More proprietary memory card crap.
• More bait and switch Sony PR bullshit. (Price, UMD conversion, and more to come I'm sure.)
• I'm not interested in buying the "transition" model.  (I'll wait for the PSP2 to shift my paradigms, thanks.)
  

Huge list!

You DID buy a DSi after all, so your purchase of a PSPGo is only a matter of time, Jeff.

Also have two copies of WTF on UMD!!! May pick up Prinny. That would be my first downloaded title ever.

The PSP 3000 is so great, for only $169. I love the screen, and I don't have any idea what this "ghosting" thing is.. but I've never noticed anything since I've had it.
 
PSPGo ftl...

Seriously Jeff, come on ... you don't really think that do you?
 
This looks more like a press release than an opinion

That is a crazy amount of content, seems Sony came through this time for the PSPgo. Still not going to get one, but making me think of getting a bigger memory card and starting to go digital. £10 for 8 gig seems pretty good deal atm. I would absolutely be going with the US store instead of UK though, you guys have everything compared to us, and it would probably end up being cheaper.

Those are plenty of games, too bad I don't want any of them.

" Seriously Jeff, come on ... you don't really think that do you?  This looks more like a press release than an opinion "

I'm not getting a Go, but I'm very tempted to buy a 16 gig memory stick and go to town on the Playstation Store.

I might actually be inclined to buy some of these if they weren't the same price as retail. And besides that, only one of my current 7 PSP games is on this list. Come on Sony, what are you thinking? The PSP Go is dead on arrival as far as I'm concerned.

Not buying the Go. DId buy two 8GB micro Sd cards and a memory stick adaptor for a total of $32 for my 3000. Just bought Motorstorm Arctic Edge. Sweet!

My PSP Go is in the post as we speak. :D

  Yeah! I've been falling back in love with my old PSP-1000 lately,  glad to see other people noticing the uptick in psp games!, there's also Soul Caliber, and MGS Peace Walker, and a few other upcoming releases. I was thinking of buying a new psp-2000 "still available in a few places", but  I think I'de rather spend that on a 16gb stick, new battery, and a few games for my 1000. I despise the GO, mainly because I own 25+ games on umd!    

Well, i had two psp. One them could not read UMD's and its hacked. The other one i gave to my little brother since i always thought it was a little too big. Plus, im done with all of my UMD's (all 4 of them) so getting the PSPgo is what i did. Im going to pick it up in about an hour. The fact that i can have a couple of games and movies with out having to carry anything extra is great. 

I know this isn't morally acceptable, but I've seen places where you can download UMD psp games and just play them from your memory stick. So if I downloaded all of my old games onto a Go (That doesn't make me a bad person, right?) That might actually be a cool way to play games. The PSP Go is a little cooler if I can go down that route, but I'm not sure if you need to homebrew it or anything to get it to work. Then again, I think I might be talking myself into a stupid purchase. Someone else chip in here, is this dumb?

I'm sticking with my 3000 and my fairly hefty catalog of some 15 UMD games but I'll definitely partake in some cheap downloadable games! I got a 8GB memory stick duo a while ago for like 20 dollars and haven't had any problems so far with space... even with the partial install of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for faster load times...

That's one packed store for this new handheld release.  I'm still not sure how it will sell, but I've gained a little bit more respect for Sony with the pricing of the games on this unit.  $250 is still a bit too steep a price for this device, though.

When Castlevania Chronicles comes out for d/l--I might bite on the PSP/Go...been eyeing that game for years...

at this point, wouldn't most people who wanted a PsP already own one? That being said, why would those people who already own one, want to buy a new one that they can't play their PsP games on? 3 free downloads of games you already own doesn't seem justifiable to me. I never owned a PsP, but the Go isn't persuading me to get one now either.

Nice list, I'm excited about another device with no physical media but what may be a decent price for a title on the store shelf doesn't look quite as attractive in the world of downloadable games. I'm more interested in seeing how the PSP Go Mini lineup shapes out, as it stands hardly anything outside of that first list of deals can be classified in the "impulse buy" price range. It's great to have the option to get these games anytime but it really makes me appreciate my iPod Touch and all the reasonably priced gems I've picked up there even more.
