Sony handing out more freebies for Euro PSPgo buyers

If you are one of the few but proud(!) owners of one of these shiny babies, you can now log onto the PSN store, download a new theme and chose one of three games to download for free.

Inhabitants of German speaking territoriescan choose between “LittleBigPlanet”, “Gran Turismo” and “MotoStorm: Arctic Edge”, while other territories get “Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines” instead of “LittleBigPlanet”. Bummer, that.

After downloading the theme, you should be getting your code to redeem the games in the mail within a week. A month, if all things go wrong. That’s 5 free games so far if you are keeping count.

How to get a PSP Go for cheap [Comments Off]

How to get a PSP Go for cheap

So, the PSPgo, well, how do we put this; it’s rather expensive. There’s ways around that, though. Not for free, mind you, but here’s the shops you should consider when you want to buy one:

UK & Europe — www.hmv.co.uk
HMV, your top dawg for the PSPgo, is selling it for GBP 199, which roughly equals to 220 Euros. Shipping is free to the UK and 3 pounds everywhere else.

USA — dell.com via bing
You can get a PSPgo from dell using Bing Cashback (15%) and the coupon code 6FWJ247J1P44CK (15% off & free shipping) for less than $190. Seriously.

So it’s either these or putting it on your Amazon wish-list, hoping someone will gift you one. Can’t beat that.

Hey Europe, get 3 free games with your PSP Go! [5]

Hey Europe, get 3 free games with your PSP Go!

SCEE is way kind, even in these desperate times, they still give you 4 free games, including “Gran Turismo PSP”, if you upgrade from PSP to PSPgo!
The PSPgo rewards scheme will allow you to kick start your Go collection with a couple of free games for those who currently own an older model of the PSP.

All you need is a PSN account from an SCEE territory, a PSPgo and a PSP with an UMD in the drive — “Hannah Montana” for example.
It’s not hard, really, but this handy guide, posted after the break, will make your life a lot easier.

… and don’t forget to leave a thank you note by the fridge for those nice kids at SCEE when you leave in the morning.

First PSP Go review is in [Comments Off]

First PSP Go review is in

Seems like IGN’s embargo was lifted earlier today, and thus, the first review of the PSP Go is now in the wild. It’s a 7.3. They certainly don’t love it, but they do like it:

When it comes right down to it, we aren’t exactly sure whether to love or hate the PSPgo. Sony certainly has their heart in the right place — technologically advancing mainstream handheld gaming to a purely digital plateau — but it seems as if the idea wasn’t fully realized when it comes to mainstream viability.

Then they go on about some weird tangent about old UMDs and what not. Boring. While Scott Lowe is whining about “UMD libraries”, I continue to wonder why you would invest in a Go when you have a perfectly functioning PSP. You’re so vain, Scott.

PSP go comes alive this week, have another look!

If you were to ask me “what’s new, pussycat?”, I’d be very much inclined to ask you, why on earth you would call me a pussycat, because I am so… not. On the other hand though, I would probably tell you all about this week’s launch of the PSP Go. We’re all about the PSP Go this week. We’ll let you know what’s on the PSN Store, what games are awesome, as well as how, you know, everything goes.

The system comes out on the 1st in the US and on the 2nd of October in Europe. We put together a little gallery so you can take it all in, again.
