Its funny, my DS or GBA will hold its charge for months without play which is great. If it cant hold its battery life I'd rather use batteries. I've always got plenty at home and at least if i want to play something that is dead i can can chuck a couple of AA/AAA's in it and be on my way. Sony dont like their consoles being left alone. Every time i leave the PS3 for a while i have mammoth updates to do for both the system itself and for the games!samhain81 wrote:Black Ridge wrote:

Re: The PSP collecting thread
If you can get it cheap then it might be an idea to just get it because I have a feeling it might be harder to track down in the future since it's the last PSP game of note in the EU so far (aside from a few EA things that inevitably slip out) and I can't imagine it was distributed too widely.samhain81 wrote:Can anyone recommend Blazing Souls Accelate?
Really like the look of this.
I got mine for £15 from Play.com. Haven't played it yet but it's a port of a PS2/360 game that came out in Japan ages ago so I imagine there's already plenty of opinion available outside of the PSP version.
Retro is a state of mind, and cares not for your puny concepts like dates and calendars.

Re: The PSP collecting thread
The PSP actually has some excellent driving games - OutRun 2006, both Burnouts, Gran Turismo, Motorstorm, both Wipeouts - all spring to mind.Shinobi wrote:My friend just gave me a boxfull of PSP games for free.. All in great condition, and best of all no sports or driving games
In fact, it has some great all round sports games too - NHL 2007 is brilliant, Everybody's Tennis, Virtua Tennis.
I've got about 70 PSP games and OutRun and NHL are my top two.

If you get the latest CFW (6.60 Pro I think) then they'll just load the IOS's, easy peasy -the_b1ues wrote:Ive littlerly just had to do this lol,samhain81 wrote:Black Ridge wrote:

Re: The PSP collecting thread
Just passed up on a copy of Pixeljunk Monsters for £12 - never heard of it before and after an amazon / ebay search Im regretting not chancing it.
Re: The PSP collecting thread
Did that get a UK physical release or was it PSN only? There's a US seller listing them for about 9 quid on eBay.
EDIT
Just noticed that Amazon have Fat Princess Fistful of Cake for £3.33 (Essentials version).

Re: The PSP collecting thread
Passed an import shooter on the psp called Dangei Orta ??
Anyone heard of it? It was pricey but looked great on the back.
Trouble is, I can't find a single mention of it online, when I tried to look for reviews.
Maybe it has a different name locally.

Re: The PSP collecting thread
Only thing i could suggest is to see if it looked like anything else - or - if it wasnt too expensive buy it and see. I passed up on Pixeljunk at the weekend but comments seem to be favourable so now I regret it. Should have researched more on my mobile.samhain81 wrote:Passed an import shooter on the psp called Dangei Orta ??

Re: The PSP collecting thread
Needed to resurrect this thread for at least one reason - but also to add that I just bought Popolocrois , Riviera and Ultimate Ghosts n goblins - my first games for a while.
Ok main reason - I passed up on a game today (as I have done a few times and regretted it) mainly because I had never heard of it and because it looked like a Warioware ripoff.
It was called WTF - Worktimefun.
Anyone come accross this or played it and is it any good - or should i just quit asking stupid questions,buy it and enjoy?

Re: The PSP collecting thread
Can't say I've heard of it!
However - Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins. The most difficult game of all time??

Re: The PSP collecting thread
I was hoping it was a compiled pack of Ghost n Goblins / Ghouls n Ghosts - turns out its just a graphically enhanced rehash. With slow fire responses.
Re: The PSP collecting thread
I bought it ages ago for a fiver I think, but it's still sat on my 'to be played' shelf. Not much help I know!shiftytigger wrote:

Re: The PSP collecting thread
Not really - but nice to at least know of one person who bought it. Wont get back over that way for a while now so its out of my range at the moment.
