The upcoming PSP software thread.

It's not to be released outside of Japan.

I like my PSP just fine, but I'm not sure how many games I'm gonna spend 50 bucks on. I got Burnout and X-Men, but I woulda bought a few others (well, Tiger Woods at least) if they were in the DS price range (35 or less). Shit, Namco Museum costs 40 bucks!

Also, can we stop using "sex" as a synonym for "attractive"? It's video games.

So yeah, many here seem content in bashing the PSP's software lineup, and acting as if it belongs in a spot next to the N-Gage or Virtual Boy. I think it has more to do with an underlying dislike of Sony, but for those who are legitimately interested in knowing whether the PSP has anything to offer that is to your taste, here's a thread where I'll try to briefly detail many of the system's promising upcoming games.

Interesting information Andy, but you're way off base on PSP being bashed because of some sort of Sony hate. If anything, most of the people on this board own a DS in spite of their dislike for Nintendo. PSP is bashed because it's too expensive, most of it's games are watered down versions of PS2 games, the games are 50 bucks each, poor controls for certain types of games (like fighters and games based on precise analog control) and the system has an awful battery life.

DS has a lot of quality games, plays a lot more quality GBA games, and has a ton of great games coming soon, plus it's much more affordable hardware in every way and has an amazing free online play program rolling out. Most of us would buy a PSP in a heartbeat if it was under 200 bucks, had a solid library and some good online support. The DS' existing library is more impressive than your list (and it is a cool list), and it's upcoming releases look insane. I also disagree with the notion that Capcom isn't doing stuff with DS, I'd rather play a new Viewtiful Joe game than remakes of old Mega Man games I've already owned in two or more different forms, or a remake of a bad Street Fighter game on a system with an awful Dpad for fighters.
