Sony To Offer Digital Copies For Old UMD Games

0

If you are planning to upgrade to the PSP Go! this October, you’re probably wondering what will become of all those UMD games you’ve purchased over the years. Although the UMD format will continue, you won’t be able to use them on the PSP Go! unless you have digital copies of the game. Its looks like Sony has already come up with a solution. According to John Koller, “We’re in the midst of putting together a good will program. […] So we’re looking at a short term good-will program that would continue for years afterward.”

The press release for the PSP Go! was released yesterday during Sony’s E3 Press Conference, after an official announcement was made. However, the press release includes some features of the new PSP Go! that were not announced at the conference. In short, the BlueTooth feature on the PSP Go will allow you to pair a DualShock 3 controller to play games (though the rumble feature will not be supported). Also, in-game XMB will be supported (possibly through a firmware update) and there was mention of a calendar and clock application.

E3 2009: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

0

In case you missed Sony’s E3 2009 Press Conference yesterday, the PSP got another AAA title added to its upcoming lineup: Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Peace Walker takes place ten years after Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, so the “Snake” here is Naked Snake. Kojima himself is writing the script and producing this game, and the main Metal Gear Solid 4 team is also involved, so this is no spin-off. It’s a real sequel and a main entry in the MGS franchise. You can check out the official trailer below and some screenshots below.

XTREME PSP is now on WordPress

0

We moved our XTREME PS3 site over to WordPress earlier this week and today we completed moving XTREME PSP over today. Until now, XTREME PSP was using a custom CMS I wrote a few years ago. Over the past two years, I’ve had very little time to make changes to the CMS and add new features so we’ve decided to move over to a better supported platform – hence the change to WordPress. What you are now looking at is the new version of XTREME PSP. We’ve moved over most of the content from the old CMS except for the Wallpaper Gallery. The PSP compatible version is also no longer available – but we will try and get it back up soon.
