PSP Go!

bah can't go into the psn store without system update, and can't system update until the battery is charged >_<

Surely they can just have a field in the database that says from which Device it was purchased. Then they just sort out the wheat from the chaff and bobs u're uncle.

I had a play tonight with TV cables etc. I'm not at all impressed with the PSP Go! but it's a new bit of kit so I'll mess around for a while. I set up using a PS3 pad and plugged the Go! into my TV and it was pretty cool, but of course it does look damn ropey Connecting a PS3 pad is a pain, you need to connect a pad and the Go! to a PS3 to set this feature up and once done it's tied to the PSP. If you plug the pad back into a PS3 to re-sync you lose the PSP feature and have to do it all over again..and it is a pain to do. Seeing how ropey Motorstorm was on the TV, I dont think I'll be hooking up to the TV anytime soon.

But you can D/L the theme via Media Go if you so wish. How would they know you don't have a PSP Go!?

It did say on terms & conditions.

"The download version of ?Gran Turismo?? for PSP? will only be playable on PSP?go and will not be playable on any other PlayStation? console."

Give me the code and I will try it for you on my ole psp brick

Does that mean those of us who got the theme on other types of PSP will get a code and the game simply won't work?

If so, how long does the code last? If we buy Gos at a larmter date will it still be redeemable?

So many niggly questions!

It says the theme will only work on a Go! and it clearly doesn't. Sony are lame, we know this. I'm quite sure I'll have GT running on my 3000 for free before the week is out.

There's a guide on how the offer works on the official PSP Go site.

Does this offer only apply to owners of a PSPgo?
Yes, if you download the Gran Turismo theme onto any other model of PSP, PlayStation 3 or your PC, you will not receive the Promotion Code. You must also download the theme before midnight on October 10, 2009.

Will the Promotion Code expire if I don't use it by a certain time?
It will expire if not used by October 1, 2010.

Cool, thanks John.

Is it possible to set up a US account and a UK account on one machine? I've been thinking of trading in my 70UMDs and just using the cash to buy a mixture of uk and us games.

I can switch between the accounts on the current PSP I have (think I have to link up the machine to my US ps3 first) and if I can do the same i'll get one.

And GT psp is handheld nirvana

Did polyphony put a chip in the psp only they could access?!

From everything I have read it seems like the account system is identical to the original PSP, which is a shame. That means you can't change between users unless you 'return to home base' i.e. connect to your PS3, which isn't exactly the best system to use for a portable device.

...I've had an email from my cousin in the US and she says that they've posted it using DHL Express. Any ideas how long it should take to get here like that? Hopefully I'll be able to get a tracking number off them later.

That was Wednesday evening and it's already left the Midlands so I should get it today or Saturday. It usually takes longer than that to have stuff delivered from the UK.

Bloody impressed, I was expecting it to be a week or so.

I went on the US PSN store last night and a pile of games have been released digitally. There's a much better selection than on the UK store and the pricing for older stuff seems more sensible. US$15 for Disgaea, US$10 for Prinny etc is severely tempting. Not so sure about paying full price for more recent games though. At least in the UK most of the newer releases are at a discount to the fully boxed versions.
