The IGN review for Death Jr is up. I know many dismiss IGN since they usually go too easy on games. However, they do put a lot of detail into their reviews and from that you can many times find things you might like about the game even though the game is generally flawed. Killer 7 is a good example. EGM slammed it, but by reading the more detailed reviews at IGN and Gamespot I found it a game I would like.

IGN gave Death Jr a 7.0 which isn't overwhelming, but some of the things they point out about the game look interesting so I would read it if you are thinking about picking this game up. http://psp.ign.com/articles/641/641671p1.html

BTW, the early buzz for MediEvil Resurrection is not looking good so I will be interested in seeing how the reviews for that one end up.

Any reviews for Namco Battle Museum up yet? Apparently it comes out 8/24 (not 8/09 as previously announced). I mean, I know what to expect gamewise, but still...

darkside

I haven't found a single one yet, but I think its going to be pretty good. I'm interested to hear if there are any control issues, gliches, etc. That sometimes is an issue even with the console versions.

1 GB Sandisk Pro Duo Yellow Gamer Card $74.99 after $10 rebate.

Best Buy

And no, that is not a photoshop. Takes 10 min to boot up, but stable after that.

DRG

Thanks! I caved and bought one. I already have a 512 Mb one, plus the 32 Mb one that came with it. But this was just too cheap to pass up. Hope it gets here before I leave for Vegas on the 25th.

edstein

Don't get your hopes up. Looks like it is on backorder.

DRG

Well, when I ordered it, it still said 'In Stock', so I guess I'll have to cross my fingers. But with my luck...

edstein

Looks like Newegg has'em for $78.99 no rebate.

Did they just raise the price on that since this afternoon? Coulda sworn it was 84.99 this afternoon- now it's 109.99.

darkside

It was 84.99, I looked. They raised the price.

DRG

Wow, I'm glad I ordered when I did. I got it at 84.99, and according to BB it actually shipped yesterday. Even got a tracking no., so I must've gotten in right before they went on backorder.

I just got back from EBGames, pre-ordered Advance Wars DS and Nintendogs, and I was shocked to see that they have a lot of their UMD movies priced at $29.99! The most I've ever seen one priced at was right at $25, and I thought was high.

Have any of you actually paid that much for one of of these? I'm just wondering if people are actually biting at that price.

I haven't paid more than 20 bucks for any of my 14 UMD movies. Well, one was 29.99 but I used 15.00 in Reward Zone certs from Best Buy so in my mind it was 15 bucks. I actually just picked up the Dave Chappelle UMD for what equated to 4.00 (I bought a GBA game for 3.42 at Target and returned it to Best Buy for 19.99). Suckers. Nintendogs is gonna be sweet too. When the frick is the US browser update coming?

There are a lot of websites where people have uploaded their gamesaves to share, but I don't know how to load these on to my Memory stick.

Gamesaves on the memory stick are in folders, usually titles, U1000MEM93808 or something like that with the data inside.

Problem is, most people upload their saves files as "Tonyhawksaves.zip" or something like that, which the PSP will obviously not recognize; unzipping the files doesn't show a folder either, just some files.

What is the way to copy this, for those who have done it? Here's where I'm getting the saves.

I tried creating a new save while playing a game, exiting, then dragging and overwriting the save data from the website onto my save I had just created. When I tried to load the data it said "corrupt." Any other ideas?

Do any B&M stores sell a decent UMD holder? I'm going on a trip and I don't want to carry around 8 cases with me. Best Buy/CC/EBGames?

edstein

Here is the tool that I use. They have a demo version that will do what you need.

you don't need the folder saved to your stick, just the file. When you unzip, you should have a file in there that has looks like the usual save files. Just save that to your mem stick. I've used saves for Tony Hawk, Wipeout, Lumines, Midnight Club and haven't had a prob with any of them.

I couldn't find any I liked in B&M stores, so I bought one of these via eBay:

Thanks...that's kinda cool. I wish they had one that would hold maybe 10 discs, so I can take all my games with me. FIVE is a good start though.

I've been playing Taiko no Tatsujin for the PSP for the past day, and I am just flat out addictied to this game! We need some games like this for the PSP here in the states.

I'd love to have Gitaroo Man for the PSP.

I just picked up a PSP and ran the update, but the system info reads v.1.52. I thought the firmware was 2.0? Also, how can I access the web browser after said update?

joshd2012

It looks like they are still working on it. The icon for the web browser will be to the right of the Game icon.

edstein

There is a link to the Japanese v2.0 a few pages back. It works great, even on US psps. The web browser is a new icon to the right of the "game" icon.
