Sony Announces PSP Favorites, Other PSP Deals

Need something to download on your PSPgo? No? Well, you might be surprised what you'll find your fingers doing in a few minutes. Sony has announced a new line of 10-dollar downloadable PSP games, dubbed "PSP Favorites," this afternoon (via Joystiq and PS.blog). A total of 16 titles were revealed for the price point, and it's a list that has some great-to-decent titles like PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe, LocoRoco 2, Patapon 2, and quasi-golden oldies like SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo, and Silent Hill: Origins. 
 
The full list, excluding the aforementioned, is: Ape Escape: On the Loose, Buzz! Master Quiz, Hot Shots Golf Open Tee, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Twisted Metal: Head On, Justice League Heroes, Manhunt 2, Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play, Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection, Sims 2, and The Warriors. 
 

PSPgo is still a waste, although 10 free games is nice.

meh wtb psp2

Good pricing, but I think the PSP is dying at this point.

That's pretty bad. The PSP is a sinking a ship and this is pretty much Sony throwing all the cargo overboard.

Wait, but LocoRoco 2 is listed as being $7.99 on PSN. Does that mean they're raising the price? I wouldn't put it past them...

Dudder time to go all Euro handheld for some games!

I still don't regret picking up my PSPgo, it's been great being able to take it everywhere without carrying around those UMDs, not to mention the 5 free games they have chucked at me before and now they want to give me more? sure, i'll take it. 
 
Biggest issues is Sony not being strict enough and forcing a PSN release, not had to miss a game yet, but there's some that are UMD only and worries me something like Peace Walker could be one of those.
 
Edit: only applies to those who bought it after April 1st... I take back every nice thing I ever said about the PSPgo, Sony is the worst company ever and I'm going to buy a DS and pokemans.

" PSPgo is still a waste, although 10 free games is nice. "

And the PSP will still be shit. All people do is pirate, or rip their UMDS and play the games on the computer with a controller.
 
Until it gets a second analog stick, it will always be a failure. That, or change it so the PSP is actually a system that is meant to be played on the go, instead of being a place for half-assed PS2 ports.

As E3 is nearing, and they did this now, maybe they are trying to get rid of a lot of the go's for, I don't know, the next PSP!

This news article is relevant to the 16 people worldwide that have a PSP Go.

Sounds like it will make some people bite.

Good for the PSP. As for the Go, can it play Crisis Core or Lumines yet? Until then its not a PSP.

Still rocking my PSP-1000 over here. I'm an original! *Insert miracle whip picture*
 
There are some pretty good games in this list, Pixel junk monsters is a good game, and Patapon 2 is worth much more than $10, so everyone should go get that game.

In an age without bundles,  it looks like software is now the loss-leader. Amazing.  Gotta put that PSPgo inventory into people's hands somehow.  May as well with profitable games.  
There must be Sony meetings that go "why is the PSP the only handheld device people don't want four of?"   
I've got a 1000 and a 3000, and I'm done, thanks.

If I was in Europe I'd take that deal, sure. But I'm not so I'd rather just wait for the PSP2.

The PSPgo bundle is terrible.  At least in comparison to what SCEE gives you.

I'd buy it. Birthday coming up, this could be a possibility. I don't know.

"be aware that if you purchase the funny-looking handheld from today until March 31"
 
So from now till March of next year?

Awesome, I hope Kingdom Hearts goes to the GO, even though I hear it's not.

Until you give us the 10 game deal, get the fuck out of my house, good sir.

too little too late sold that thing months ago 

" This news article is relevant to the 16 people worldwide that have a PSP Go. "

Where the hell is  Lumines?
It's the best game for the system.

Ten games is an insane deal.

I have yet to own a PSP of any kind, and am not directly opposed to the Go, so this is one hell of a deal.  We'll see how money lines up but then maybe I can make the jump.

Christ thats a a hell of a deal.
 
Ten dollars for The Warriors on PSP is a steal.

Well, it's about time they made the PSP Go viable in some way.

" "be aware that if you purchase the funny-looking handheld from today until March 31" So from now till March of next year? "

Man, I love the idea of the PSP Go. I think it's a sleek and sexy handheld, yet I just can't bring myself to buy one. I keep thinking about how much life is left before Sony announce the PSP2, and then I'll end up buying that as well. This deal is great, I really want to try LBP, Motorstorm, Patapon 2, etc, but I've pretty much much convinced myself the PSP is already outdated. 

GIVE ME AZURE DREAMS AND XENOGEARS PLZZZZ
 
Seriously. No one wants to play crap like that. Only the TRUE Greatest Hits. At least they did us right by releasing FF9.

Damn, Sony really wants to sell more PSPgos.

Since these deals seem to be for anyone who purchased a Go after April 1, it would appear to be a twelve month long program running until March 31 or next year.  Assuming I'm not completely mistaken. "

There was maybe one game in that entire article that interested me, and I've already played that game on another system :/

if this is the beginning to a push towards PSP support I'm all for it...if it's an attempt to off-load remaining stock and make room for the PSP 2, then it's just pure greasy on Sony's part. 
 
...although I'd absolutely buy a PSP Go Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Limited Edition.  Not sure why the limited edition they're releasing for that is just in PSP-3000 format.

As for me, who doesn't have a PSP anymore, and who hated those fucking UMD discs, the GO seems perfect for me, and this sweetens the deal... however, it doesn't change the fact that there's $15 dollars in my checking account until next pay day. "

In before PSPgo hate....too late.

PSP GO is not a waste with ten games, lmfao.  That's the equivallent of at least $200 right there, at least.  Great deal Europeans!

Sounds like they're gonna ditch the PSPgo pretty soon heh.. anyways, I'm happy with mine - mostly because I bought it for less than half of the full price.
 
I'm not really interested in anything other than Monster Hunter and MGS Peace Walker though.

Man, a "heads up" would've been nice. I just bought a PSPGo 3 weeks ago.
 
Not sure why the US deal can't be retroactive.
 
Still, the price drops are welcome. I can't justify $39 for a download on a portable, but $19 is a breeze.

There is no point in buying a new handheld before E3.  If after that there is no sign of the PSP2, then it's reasonable to invest in a PSP (go or 3000) if you still want the games. Neither SMT: Persona game is on the list and those are the only ones I am interested in.

I like the idea of the go.  Having all my games on the system seems great.  I think it would be nice taking it out and having my choices without having to deal with any UMDs.  The Go to me seems like a step in the right direction.  I just can't get it at that price though.  You can buy a 120 gb elite which has ODST and Forza 3 included for 50 bucks more.  If it was price better (at least under 200) I would probably jump on this. 

interested in a cheap patapon2. they say it's also available on psp3000 on the sony blog, which is good for me. in the article it sounds like it's only for pspgo.

I recommend the Midway collection highly.
