actual PSP preorders for the us system now at vg+

[Rossco]

Right, I just realised this:

I used my Visa Debit Card to order my PSP and on the order screen for VG+ it gives the Credit Card option of Visa/MC/etc.. so my Visa Debit Card should still be fine as they usually put them down as the same thing? We do at my work anyway.

Thats correct isn't it? I don't want to have to put it on my CC.



And also, I'm getting a 512 stick probably, can't really afford near ?100 for 1gig.

[chojin]

i'm sure you cant use a UK debit card for overseas orders.. i'd double check and if not, pay some cash off your CC and use it pronto!

[Rossco]

Damnnn damn damn. If I need to do that, I can just email them and ask to change the bank details yeh?

[chojin]

yeah.. i'd email them now just to make sure. .Sydney will get back to you quickly then panic will be over!!

[Rossco]

Done. This better not make me get the PSP later...

[Rossco]

Yup, he replied asking for my CC details. I just need to remember to put some money on that now.

[chojin]

pHeW!!..

it wont mate, they're not charging the cards until next week.. you'll be ok!

now just sit back and wait for the knock at the door from DHL!!

Sony has announced at CeBIT 2005 ... its 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (High Speed) media, the largest capacity media available in the Duo format,... which is easily recognizable by its bold new black colouring.

The 1GB and 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo media will be available across Europe in April

I saw that info on gamebiz or somewhere, but no-one seems to be selling the 2GB ones yet(?).

You heathens really should give a home to the little monkeys.
Ape Escape is my highlight of launch, though I now Lumines is top having already played the Japanese version and Mercury is looking interesting.

Anyhow, little Apes:




Really can't wait for VG+ to post

[Nisa]

Am I the only one that's ordered Darkstalkers with theirs?, I kept my order to a minimum to lower import tax charges but I've got Ridge Racers down as a seperate order & I'll no doubt pick up Lumines shortly afterwards.

[darkangel]

It wont show up anywhere where I can pre-order the psp, just shows where I can order the games.

Help?

They have pulled it for now, as presumably, they have reached their order limit, DA.

As for Concept's list, I've heard of exactly none of those artists. In fact I couldn't even say with certainty which is the title and which is the artist. Suppose it's because I've been listening to Floyd of late.

[Concept]

Photek and Cold Storage (two artists that made Wipeout 2097's atmosphere) are very, very welcome to see a return. LFO, Freq Nasty and Aphex Twin are also a pleasure to see on there.

Wipeout 3 (up to this point) is the best in the series for me, although I wasn't fond of its Trance-focused soundtrack (apart from Expander). 2097's soundtrack though was diversely electro, from breakbeat, d 'n' b to techno.

Looks like Pure is dipping its toes into the pool of diverse again. All I need now are a few good reviews for the game, and I'm so there to order a US PSP. The screens in Edge of the front end and style all bode well too.

And if the game handles like the Wipeout of old, has interesting track design with the style, identity and atmosphere the series had before Fusion, then it'll be bliss.

[bowser123]

Not having a go Concept, just a realisation on my part that I'm so out of touch it's funny. As bad as my parents, only listen to artists who are dead or long disbanded. Heh.
If it's as interesting and diverse as Lumines audibly then I'd be happy. Sound quality through headphones on PSP is something to behold Concept, I imagine you'll buzz off of it.


Still, am I the only person interested in Ape Escape? Nobody seems to have mentioned it.
