Trade-in Your Old PSP Games at Future Shops
Author: mase
If you’re tired of playing the games that you have and you want something different, you can trade your old games in and get some new ones at the Future Shop stores, which are a division of Best Buy Canada. You can get store credit toward new video games, which a great way to save a few bucks on your next game purchase.
You’ll also be giving someone else the chance to have a lot of joy from a game that you might be bored with but that they might really want to have. How many titles and which ones are accepted will depend on the inventory that the store has at the time and whether they see resale value in the game. They do not have to accept specific games or titles and which ones they take will be at their discretion.
Still, there are very few places that take used games, so Future Shops are making a good choice when it comes to offering a service that is difficult to get and that is needed and wanted by a lot of people.

Author: admin
Here’s another good week for us psp gamers.You see there are four psp games coming out. Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant. Midnight Club: LA Remix. The awesome Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. And last but not least. Star Ocean: First Departure.
Now you may be wondering which is the best psp game to play. For me, I think I’ll be giving Star Ocean a workout. You see, it’s looking phenomenal. And the reason why is because it has that PS1 look.
Anyway, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows looks pretty interesting too and the reviews for MCLA Remix has been good.
I guess if you have limited funds, I’d go for Star Ocean.
Anyway, if you want more psp reviews and download psp games, make sure you bookmark our site.
PSP 3000 May Not be Worth the Upgrade
Author: mase
The new PSP 3000 has received mixed reviews, leaving some people wondering if they should even bother giving up their 2000s. On the surface, it’s understandable as both models look very similar. The 3000 does however, come with an anti-reflective screen, a brighter display and built-in microphone. With the mic you can make internet calls with the Skype VoIP service and enhance your gameplay.
What makes the PSP 3000 the most questionable is the steep price of $199.99. This price gets you one of four Entertainment Packs which come with free games, memory sticks and vouchers to the PlayStation Store.
So is it worth it? If you’re a diehard PSP fan, you will probably think so. The screen is undoubtedly much brighter which comes in handy when playing your games or watching movies. When throwing in the built-in hard drive with more storage capacity, the PSP 3000 definitely sounds much more attractive.
Free Wi-Fi Coming for PSP
Author: mase
Sony PSP owners are excited about the possibility of free Wi-Fi access. As the device is already Wi-Fi capable, such a service would allow gamers to take their adventures to the next level. If it were to happen, you could update your firmware from the bus stop or while taking a stroll down the block.
PSP fans don’t get all the glory because free national Wi-Fi would mean availability for Nintendo DS owners and Apple iPhone users as well. This all-in-one solution would power your portable gaming system, MP3 player and navigation system at no cost.
There are many benefits that come along with free Wi-Fi. Just think, you could go from mobile gaming to mobile online gaming. With a subscription to the PlayStation Network, you could make a connection to the online store without paying an Internet Service Provider. Most of all, anybody that lives in the big city is more likely to receive the service.
While you take the chance of having the FCC monitor your Wi-Fi activity, the advantages of a free service outweigh the disadvantages by far.

Author: admin
I’m sure you already know that the psp game Macross Ace Frontier was going to hit humber 1one in Japan. But I bet you didn’t know it was going to hit it so soon.
You see, this week, Macross Ace Frontier is not only the top selling psp game, but it’s the TOP selling game fullstop. If you have played this game, you know why it’s numero uno. You see, I guess there’s something pretty cool about being able to give your fighter a custom paint job while listening to “Holy Lonely Light” in the background.
Anyway, if you haven’t played this psp game before then you may want to consider it. You see, it’s actually pretty easy to play. Even if you don’t speak a word of Japanese. And the reason why is because a lot of the menu is in English.SO you shouldn’t have much trouble with it.

New Features of the PSP3000
Author: mase
The PSP 3000 doesn’t look all that different on the surface, but beneath lies many new features to enhance your gaming experience.
The first notable improvement is the display which is packed with anti-reflection technology. This helps you enjoy your games without all the distracting glare the PSP 2000 was known for. While its not exactly rocket science, this useful technology makes a huge difference when combined with the broader color range. According to Sony, its anti-reflection feature doesn’t consume any extra battery power.
The PSP 3000 also comes with a built-in microphone which is found below the display. This can be used for gameplay or to make VoIP calls with Skype. The biggest attraction of Sony’s new hardware is an internal hard drive, offering far more capacity than UMD. This gives you the freedom to store more games and movies on your portable instead of traveling with all the original discs.
Couple this with new firmware that allows you to download games directly from the PlayStation Store and you have a device that looks to be well worth the wait.

Author: mase
Sony has finally released the latest version of its popular handheld console as the PSP 3000 recently hit the shelves in North America. The new hardware comes available in four different bundles including Limited Edition Ratchet and Clank Entertainment Pack.
Aside from the video game, this bundle comes with a many extra perks. For $199.99, you also get a copy of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets starring Nicolas Cage, a 1 gig Memory Stick Pro Duo, and a voucher that lets download a free copy of EchoChrome from the online PlayStation Store.
Although the rumors were flying for months, The PSP 3000 was officially announced in September, the third-generation of Sony’s portable console. The new model distinguishes itself from the PSP 2000 with anti-reflection technology, a brighter display and an easy accessible PlayStation button. Its most unique feature is the built-in microphone which can be used for gaming and VoIP services such as Skype.
You can probably expect the PSP 3000 to be available without the bundles sometime after Christmas.
Much Anticipated ManHunt Game Finally To Be Released
Author: mase
Years in the making, it looks as if Manhunt 2 will finally be released. The news was confirmed by Rockstar who sent word through the Games Industry website. Fans of the violent PS2 favorite will find the UK release date perfect as it is scheduled to drop this coming Halloween for PSP.
Just last year, the BBFC refused to give the Manhunt sequel a UK rating, pretty much banning the release. After making a few changes and winning an appeal with the Video Appeals Committee, Rockstar got the BBFC ruling overturned, thus enabling Manhunt 2 to hit the shelves.
It has certainly been a long battle for Rockstar who has had plans of releasing the sequel for some time. However, one has to wonder how well the game will be received on the PS2 which is having a difficult time keeping up with its successor. Perhaps Rockstar will leverage a few sells with some brutal advertisements around the 31st to entice blood thirsty gamers.
PSP Firmware 5.0 Releases Soon
Author: admin
You probably know already that the new PSP 3000 comes out tomorrow. And you also know that with it comes the latest psp firmware and stuff. Anyway, you probably know that it was coming to Japan. However, word has it that firmware 5.0 for the psp will also be coming out soon for the US. Now what that means for you is this.
You will be able to access the PSN and Playstation store from your psp. Something Mac users who have a psp will love.
But you still know that it’s not as good as what the Japanese have it. You see, Japan psp gamers get to download psp games like Yuusha no Kuze ni Namaikida or2 (10/16), Bleach Soul Carnival (10/23), Secret Agent Clank (11/20) and even Resistance Retribution.
I’m guessing that in the future, they will add this for US psp gamers. I’m just hoping it will be very very soon.
