So last I heard Sony is discontinuing all the UMD games for the new PsP thing coming out soon. If not, it doesn't matter, its not enough to keep paying money to Sony, I was even gonna start buying the games Digitally, but luckly that was before I realized they were hacked. Thankfully missed that boat...

Yeah Sony I ain't even got a PS3, And I ain't gonna bother any more, your system doesn't import enough games to Australia because we won't buy them cause all you sent us when they first came out were the trash games that USA didn't buy, and maybe one or two ok games. Looking on their PsP catalog online and seeing all these games that never hit our shores. That I WOULD buy... Bah... I can't go into a Store these days and have a good long look at the PsP section, its this big... {}. One SIDE  of an aisle Shelf is all they have, the top shelving is PSP Units (Boxes) and 90% of it's games are the same game 5 times over with Preowned on them and mark down stickers. One store has the Games in boxes for less then $20 on even the Latest releases. Those $59.95 games, came out last Month, $20s... Heck even Dissidia 012 was there. I will miss my Handheld MonsterHunter games, but the Wii has Tri so I can deal...

Nintendo have been Emued too much Sony, now its your turn while I play a Nintendo product in my loungeroom or on the Throne. Too many games to count that I want to play there.

Who else out there is trading in their PsP and all their games for something like a DS or 3DS???

TBH, had I the cash, I'd buy a PSP just for Disidia. Of course, you might not have gotten it, so yeah. Big derp up on Sony's part. They've just been getting hit by all sort of post-fan shit.

Dissidia is an ok game, but the other point on me selling it is that the last PSP that wasn't mine that I have seen was in the possession of some random at an Airport waiting lounge. Thats it. A friend of mine bought one, but being young it was all about the games that were never there so he sold it back for something else...

[lordcooper]

u mad bro?

[Neyvn]

u mad bro?

No, not mad, sad. The PsP was the first System I bought for myself and supplied all the games for myself. So it kinda was the thing I always wanted. But yeah now...

Chalk it up to a lesson learned about the mobile device market.

Stick with those that have been in the business longer and know what they are doing.

[nenjin]

Oh I don't know. Nintendo has a pretty bad track record too in supporting what they put out on the mobile device market for long periods of time.

[Sensei]

I wouldn't say that's true. Sure, the DS keeps coming out with new versions that make it bad to have purchased the first generation, but it still has a decent supply of good games AND backwards compatibility, for the well supported Gameboy Advance.

[Angel Of Death]

You do know that there's several cracks that allow you to play PS1 games on your PSP?

[nenjin]

Yeah, Nintendo makes it easy. Sony requires cracking your PSP first, doesn't it?

That said, I still have my GBA, and a 14 year old Final Fantasy 2 cartridge it still runs. Bottomline though, mobile devices come and go. So I'm sorry that was your first purchase.

[Moogie]

Man, keep it and crack it. No need to get rid of it just because they're stopping UMDs. Do what all good console players should do and open up that system to so many more possibilities. If Sony's not going to get any more of your money anyway, why not? It's a brilliant little device capable of so much more than the execs allow it. Same with the PS3.

[NewsMuffin]

I'm thinking of getting a PSP because of Monster Hunter Portable Tri, and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
That's probably because I live in the states, though.

[Vherid]

Hack the shit out of that thing, I have been doing that to mine for years now, best decision always.

[Salabasama]

I wouldn't say that's true. Sure, the DS keeps coming out with new versions that make it bad to have purchased the first generation, but it still has a decent supply of good games AND backwards compatibility, for the well supported Gameboy Advance.

Yeah, but the DS cannot play Gameboy Color games. That is the only reason I keep my SP...

With a flashcart and an emulator, yes it can.  I'm catching up on all the stuff I missed over the years.
