Sony abandons PSP Go upgrade plans

Sony announced today at TGS 2009 that owners of the PSP who upgrade to the PSP Go will not be able to download a copy of any games they own, despite previous claims to the contrary. Since the PSP Go does not have a UMD drive, previously purchased games will be rendered useless when you upgrade from a PSP to a PSP Go. It also means that anyone who purchased a PSP game in anticipation of getting a PSP will be unable to use those games if they get a PSP Go instead.

Nintendo drops Wii price to $199

Nearly 3 years after it was released, the Nintendo Wii is finally getting a price cut. On September 27th, you will be able to buy the Wii for just $199. This makes the Wii the cheapest video game console on the market again, at the same price as the cheapest Xbox 360 model. This price drop is most likely the result of a number of factors: the recent price drops of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3; the upcoming release of Sony’s motion controller in the spring; and most importantly, the massive drop in Wii sales throughout this year.

Win My Copy: Metroid Prime Trilogy

I love giving stuff away. Sure, I love to play through all of these games myself, but I don't always have time for that so I might as well do something useful with those extra games and get them in YOUR hands. Up for grabs this time? Metroid Prime Trilogy.

The rules are simple. Be 18 and live in the US or Canada. To enter, make a post in this thread and tell me if you agree with Vy's assessment of MPT. We'll pick a winner next week. Ready, Set, GO!!!!

Wii Sports Resort first impressions

The family and I have been playing Wii Sports Resort all week and so far I am very happy with it. It's less like the original Wii Sports and more like Wii Play, but it's an absolute blast. The games were made for WiiMotion Plus and do a great job of showcasing the capabilities of that little device.
