Anyone else excited about the PSP mini games?

The games are dirt Cheap and most will be in 2d which just seems the PSP has been lacking 2D games Which just Suits Handheld games, There are also some nice Devs making games for it.

I'm getting Tetris too. Anyone know how much these games will cost?

We should all find out tommorow.

Most of them are $5, but Hero of Sparta and Fieldrunners are $7, while Tetris is $10.

Not the best prices, but not that bad...

Tetris for 10.00 might be interesting for Miss helen.

i thought minis were 2-5 bucks

I am excited but I hoped for a few more on the release day. PSP minis Alien Havoc ($4.99) Tetris ($9.99) Hero of Sparta ($6.99) Brainpipe ($4.99) Fieldrunners ($6.99) Sudoku ($4.99) Funky Punch ($4.99)digimonkey12

I thought they'd be trying to compete with Apple's app store games and try to be $0.99 to $3.99. $9.99 seems too much.

Seems like they are trying to compete with the Wii Shop Channel with prices like that.

I was going to buy Tetris until I saw the price. Like and earlier poster said, I also say that I'll stick with Luminus 1 & 2.

Yes, I recently got an Itouch and I have a few of these games. When I told my 10-year-old, who has a PSP, that they were bringing some of them to the PSP, he was excited since I told them how cheap they were on the Ipod/Iphone. Now that I see these prices, it's ridiculous. I got Hero of Sparta for $.99 (it's up to $1.99 now). Sudoku is available in many versions (some free on the Iphone), but even the EA game version which I believe this is, is $2.99. WTF? I thought the point was, indeed, to complete with the Iphone.

I'm waiting for a PSP price drop to buy another one, i'm looking forward to these Apps store ports, pretty much the reason why Ninty made the DSi

Hero of Sparta/Field Runners are cool. Looking forward to a Rolando port for when i do buy a PSP again

Anyone else realise its been about 2 and half years since the PSP got dropped to $170 for the core?

its an ipod touch...not an itouch... and yeaaa, its not sonys fault, the producers choose the price of the games...but as far as im aware sony charges the company an amount for the amount of space they use on the servers...or something, which differs to itunes. ipod touch is a terrible gaming platform, i have an iphone and its great for 5 mins here and there...but its not a serious gaming device. whitelight12

Yes, sir, it is an iPod Touch, but many do shorten it to iTouch. And while it is true that it may not be a "serious" gaming device, it is not a "terrible" gaming device as you suggest. I find a lot of the games quite fun - especially for the price. Believe me, I'm a serious gamer -- owning a 360, PS3 and a Wii -- so I'm not suggesting that the iPod Touch / iPhone can compete on that level (or even at a DS/PSP level for major games). But I've been impressed with some of the quality of what is there.

In any case, I'm anxious to see whether some of these PSP ports are really any better. Remember, these are supposed to be PSP "minis".

I should mention, that while it is much shorter, the iPhone version of Need for Speed Undercover is far superior to its PSP peer (let's see IGN gave the PSP version a 5.5 and the iPhone version a 7.9 (which to me is actually a little underrated).

Exactly my point. I play some games on my iPod Touch to have a little fun here and there. Andsome of the games are fun, but I'd never pay the likes of $10 for a minor diversion like Tetris. There are some more quality games that I'd pay more for like Hero of Sparta (which was only $1.99 on iPhone, but worth its initial $6.99 price). But the truly mini games like Tetris and Sudoku are out of line when you can get a major development effort like Prinny.

excited for hero of sparta. Can't find any reviews for the psp version. Anyone play the PSP version? Avoided it on itouch because of lack of buttons on a button masher is self explainitorialy stupid. Is hero of sparta worth $6.99?
