It would be cool as hell to be able to play PS3 PSN games on a portable system.

So its gonna use physical media that isnt UMDs? loving AWESOME!

While it's certainly an improvement over UMDs, games downloaded on a memory card/stick/whatever from PSN are practically legit custom multicarts already on PSP, so this isn't really that exciting. I bet they're gonna cost an assload too.

Most likely, yeah. But they're basically single game memorycards which is really eh.

Im more excited that I dont have to pay PSN prices for my games if I buy this (PSP go sucker). For instance, Kenka Bancho is 40 bucks on PSN, and 20 if I had the option of buying it in a store.

Those are up to the publishers, though. The EU PSN has "Essentials", which are games that have had their price dropped under 10 Euro, and there are regular sales and discounts all over the place.

Half Minute Hero is probably the best game I've ever played. I'm not even sure if I'm exaggerating.

Someone post the main menu music again.

Depending on your tastes, the PSP has a shitload of cool games.

Some people in this thread seem to be under the assumption that NGP games will be compatible with the PSP, it would seem.

I've had a few Minis crash on me before. Angry Birds crashes every time I get a golden egg. Luckily it saves before the crash so nothing is lost.

Don't buy Pallurikio, though. It has a missing collectible than causes the last 12 levels of the game to become unplayable.

Where can I get it? It's not on my PSN store, hell theres only 31 demons in total on there.

What the hell? There's way more than that on my end. Try using the search function, it might work.

The only thing inferior about digital copies is the terribly inflated price of the Memory Sticks. In pretty much every other way they're superior to UMD.

EU PSN has that Essentials line, you'd think they'd have something similar in NA.

Why isn't Secret Agent Clank on EU PSN, anyway?

Came in to post this! HMH is hilarious, perfect length for portable play, and has insane replay value. I haven't even touched the other game modes, the main story is so good. The whole plot is completely absurd yet exactly what you'd expect from a JRPG.

Seeing as you have to beat all the modes to unlock the finale of the main story, I'd say you oughta do those ASAP.

I'm not sure of this but did the PS1 game give you an option to "install" onto the PS3? I know you need to do this before it lets you copy over to your PSP when it comes to PSP games downloaded to the PS3.

Actually, they changed this. Now you can't transfer after installing, you gotta do it before.

Needless to say, I'm getting tired of Sony's nonsense.
