I downloaded the version someone has uploaded to megaupload.... :( My conscience got the better of me though, and I deleted it without installing or playing it. raven_squad

For those of you pointing fingers, this person actually stole it from sony and Tecmo. Doesn't matter if they deleted it or not, he still had the intent to steal it when he downloaded it from megaupload. Those who got it off of PSN and only thought it was the demo, did not have the intent to steal the product.

wow! :D Thanks Sony! Someone is going to pay for this at Sony!! haha

Kingdom Hearts: BBS has been listed for Sony's booth at TGS, so expect some info on it to surface. TGS is next week, starting on the 24th. Rumours have been flying around of a December release for Japan

Phantasy Star Portable is a decent hack'n'slash. Though there really isnt much of a story to it, it has a pretty deep magic system and lots of weapons to gather.

Patapon 2 has only been out for a month here in North America. If what you heard is correct, then we wouldn't be getting the game until November at the earliest. Looks like your out of luck for another six months if that rumour is true.

Pass. Thought about it, but much to expensive for me right now. And hey, my psp 2000 still works wonders, but I would love to try it out and get a feel for it. It looks like an absolutely wonderful little machine.

It was never dead, only in hibernation. Biding its time to come out and kick some $@#!!

Amazon is sometime hit or miss, because Amazon itself doesn't carry it anymore. It all depends if other vendors have put the game up for purchase. This is how I got my version of the game.

here is a listing for MGS:PO some are at decent prices. Others at ridiculous prices.

I found it very unsatisfying having the demo end about 3 quarters through the songs. I would be grooving along and suddenly BAM! everything fades out and the game is listing features about the full game. What the hell is up with that? If your going to provide a demo, at least provide full versions of the songs available. Pissed me off to no end about that. Sorry for the rant, I was really disappointed by this demo. On a side note at least Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! was a really enjoyable demo. Loved it to bits. Purchase on day one for me.

metacritic.com is a great site to check review scores. It lists reviews from many other sites and compiles them to form an aggregate score. They also do review the titles themselves too. It is a good site if your curious about how reviews from different websites stack up against one another.

For example, Crimson Gem Saga, which just came out this week, received a 5.0 from GS, but other sites gave it ratings from 75 - 85.
