Ohh, so most of you guys are having problems then?

I suppose there's only one good thing to come of this - hopefully online sales for PSP games will go VERY cheap? Also, as PSP has never been my main console (as in every day of every year), and a console (portable) that I always come back to now and then, I am unaware of this NGP. What is it?

I knew I should have taken advantage of those cheapish games a few months back... you could get certain games in a deal of like 2 get 1 free or something, and it was about £15 I believe, there weren't many of those deals though.

I wish stores would make some more space, that way they could have some classics such as PS1 and more PSP's. They would probably sell very well (especially the PS1).

I wonder what stores do with the older games (PS1 and PSP for example) when they become outdated...

I wouldn't say I'm having problems getting my hand on PSP games, but if it's a fairly unknown title, I'll have a hard time coming across it months later since most stores only order 2-4 of them. And wouldn't the online prices go higher if the games are becoming harder to find. I can understand games that are fairly common, but a niche game, like ZHP, would just go up in price.

The NGP (Nintendo Got Pwned) is the PSP2 (it's a temporary name that Sony is using, don't know why they're not just calling it PSP2), with a vague release of before the holiday season of 2011. So far, it looks awesome and is being said to be the PS3 on the go. Dual analogs, HD screen, memory stick format games, a 3G model and a non-3G model (unconfirmed for NA), and killer hardware make it shaping up to be a great successor to the PSP. The only major detail that's still unknown is the price, though it's rumoured around the $300-400 mark.

From my understanding, it's not worth it for stores to keep games older than last gen (so I still expect PSP games to be at most gamestores). As to what they do with them, I've been told that they're all stores send them to a sigle store in the area where they're liquidated (sold for really cheap). Don't know what they do with the ones they don't sell. Recycle?

Why I think you should keep it:

- Lots of great games

- It's a great handheld

- So you can pick it up anytime and relive the joy

- So you don't get the feeling of being ripped off

- Final Fantasy Type-0

- and many more

[QUOTE="Ventara"]

I've played it halfway and haven't noticed anything like that, although I've noticed limb tearing.

lol haha nice. Do you know what screen tearing is though? Or are you just assuming it's not there because you may not recognize it if you're unfamiliar with it.

Ahhh you got me! I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I've always assumed it was those lines that show up when some stuff don't match up (like when you're moving, but the top half of the screen is still showing an image from a second ago). Anyways, I didn't notice any of that, and if I'm mistaken and screen tearing is something completely different, then I'm not sure, but I didn't notice any visual problems.

How are the transfer rates with these things? I would have thought that they'd suck and that something like a 64 GB one would be pointless, but if I've been mistaken and they are in fact good, I can see the appeal to these things.

Thanks for the heads up on the spoilers for multiplayer. I never play multiplayer anyways, but it's good to know.

I was thinking of cancelling my PO and get it at a later date, but with all the praise it's getting, I think I'll pick it up.

Your sims are obviously lazy bums. Don't lend them any money. They'll just spend it on booze and gamble it away. I suggest you cut all family ties with those two and just move on.

Probably is, but at the gamestores I go to, the PSP section has always been small and at the back. It sucks, but it's business I guess. This is also why I pre-order most PSP games, as they'll probably be hard to find later (although there's always online).

Makes sense. The PSP already has a fanbase. It's not like everyone who has a PSP will go out and buy a PSP2.

On a side note, it might be better to actually quote the article in the OP, or at least provide more info instead of just a link.

Do 24GB memory sticks even exist?

Anyways, I have a 16GB one. I was thinking of upgrading to a 32GB one, but I fugure if I'm not satisfied with a 16GB one, another 16GB isn't gonna change that. Also, it's probably best to save money for the new memory stick that the PSP2 will need.
