Its one game i really want to get but it seems to be selling for around £40 at the min and im holding out incase one appears a bit cheaper.

is Darious Burst an import? - not heard of it before.

(PSP is great for import comps - the parodius one is a lot of bizarre fun - if only play asia would sell them it would be easier...)

Just don't visit my blog then or you'll see visual temptations :lol:

I wouldn't spend much money on it though - try and find a cheap copy in a shop. I've noticed several getting rid of odd copies at sub-£10 prices so it's worth it at that if you're unsure.

*reads, no, looks at pictures*
*adds to Gamestracker watchlist*

Will buy when it's just a tad cheaper & when no-one's looking! :oops: :P

Has anyone thought of buying The Silent Hill Experience and/or MGS Digital Graphic Novel?

I own BOTH the Silent Hill exp. and MGS Digital graphic novel UMD`s.Bought `em when i 1st bought my PSP.They are ok, more a novelty than a must have. The extras disc on PS2 Silent Hill and/or 'Lost Memories:Art+Music of Silent Hill' better add on`s for the S.H series.

My PSP collection currently stands at the following:

Castlevania Chronicles
Capcom Classics Collection Remixed
Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded
Disgaea
Exit
Every Extend Extra
Gitaroo Man
Gradius Collection
LocoRoco
Me & My Katamari
OutRun 2006
Salamander Collection
Ultimate Ghosts & Goblins
Wipeout Pulse

Plus I recently got hold of Star Soldier, which is a pretty sweet shooter, once you adjust to the vertical orientation, its probably prefable to the GC and PS2 versions.

I’ve only got about 20 odd games for mine, but I think it’s a great machine. My favourites are:

OutRun – how much fun can one game be?? Nnnnnnnneeeeeeeeoooooowwwwwwwwww!!
GTA VC – Vice City on handheld, what more can you want in life?
Snooker (2005 I think) – I love snooker and realise it’s an acquired taste, but I can play frames for days on end.

Others I like: Killzone, Syphon Filter (forget which one), World Tour Soccer.

Mine’s also modded, so I’m worried that any games from now won’t play on mine which would be a shame. I know MGS won't and I'm pretty gutted about that - I played the demo and it was great.

I definitely reckon it's an undervalued machine - it's VERY portable, the games can be picked up at good prices and the graphics look fantastic on the equally fantastic screen.

Cheers. I like novelties, so I'd better add them to my wants list. Do you reckon that the MGS one might be quite difficult to get hold of in the near future? (No idea what the print run would've been)

Not that rare yet then? I've just bought a new one for nine quid on eBay. This thread is going to cost me a fortune!

I've thought about getting that and the MGS comic thing, are they any good?

I'm currently torn between getting some more rpgs or mopping up a few of the older titles I would quite like, such as Outrun 2, Dynasty Warriors 2 and Pursuit Force. Considering how the PSP always seems to have been under-supported for games, there are a surprising number of titles I would like to get my mitts on.
