The original Hot Shots was developed by Camelot the devloper of Mario Golf. Sony has pretty much kept the formula the same over the years even with a new developer on the game.

Awesome. Not that I see myself getting bored with the Cube/GBA combo at the moment (the link-up mode between the two is excellent).. but I'll make a note to check out the latest version of Hot Shots if I find it for a good price.

Anyone using SonicStage to convert/transfer their mp3 to attrac3plus format? Somehow, it's not working for me anymore. I was using SS day 1 to get my music transfer to my psp since launch. Now, it's not allowing me to convert/transfer... Am I missing something? Also, is other apps similar to SS??

I picked up Hot Shots at lunch ($5 Best Buy coupon and $25 of reward zone coupons = $10, woohoo!).

I have my PSP with me, but I guess it would look bad if I played at work.

Just got back from grabbing my copy of Hot Shots!

Gotta wait until I get off work to play it though.

I guess it depends on where you live. My local Gamestop, EB and Best Buy are sold out but I travel about 20min to Wal-Mart and they got about a dozen of them. I live just south of Olympia, WA. If you check around at a few places you should have no problem finding one.

Still see PSPs everywhere, however, the sales seem really steady for them. I think it will be a consistent seller for Sony and continue to build momentum. Expect a sharp spike in sales when GTA is released.

I have to ask this question. Has anyone taken their PSP apart yet? Mine is starting to build up dust under the screen and now it is much more noticable than a stuck pixel. I'm seriously tempted to take the case off and clean all the dust out of there, but I have no idea had difficult that will be to do. I really wish Sony had made it easy to swap out the covers and sold replacements in case they get scratched up.

I can live with the pixel, but the dust has to go.

Speaking of which....Is this just going to be a rehash of gta3 or vice city, or is it going to be a unique GTA?

I'm sure this has been covered before, but how well does Sony respond to the stuck pixel issue these days? I have 3 that I have put up with since I bought it. 2 of them are in corners and unnoticaeble, one is pretty much right in the middle and is glaring at me when ever I watch a movie. Would Sony laugh at me and tell me its normal, or would that possibly replace it?

I heard it's going to be a continuation of GTA3.

I have a friend travelling to the states next week for E3 and he's gonna pick up a PSP for me and one for himself. Can anyone recommend places that are selling them at a good price and also possibly with game bundles? I'm assuming $249 is RRP for the PSP which is a fine price for me, but I saw a couple of US website trying to sell them for more (without a game bundle) so I'm not sure.
Do EB have game/movie bundles available in their stores and will they replace units if there is a dead pixel out of the box?
Just some questions I needed to ask before he heads off next week.

I doubt any of the EB/Gamestops will have any of the first wave bundles left (w/spiderman 2), but both will take it back for dead pixels I believe. I think everywhere is still selling them for retail, but you can watch the ads for specials the week he's here.
My suggestion would be try Wal-mart and Target if you want one with the Spiderman 2 UMD (which is cleary marked by a sticker on the front of the box).

Actually, from what I heard neither will take it back for dead pixels, and instead will refer you to Sony.

Looks like your PSP has a ton of white pixels...

edit: either the links were fixed or not showing up on my other computer for some reason. Came up blank to me when I posted this. Was making a stupid joke.

There's a gamerush in Hollywood, about 10 min from E3, which still have the first shipment of the value pack (come with spiderman). They had about 9 left. Not sure if it will last till next month though. But by that time, I guess it will be easy to locate one anywhere.
