I like the headline for this GameSpot article: PSN update sees rush of PSP games
Their definition of "rush of PSP games" being... ummm... 4. From the article:
The newly added PSP games are Brothers in Arms: D-Day, Chessmaster: The Art of Learning, Driver '76, and TMNT. All four of the games have been previously released on the system's UMD format and carry a $19.99 downloadable price tag (with the exception of Brothers in Arms D-Day, which sells for $14.99). They range in size from 84MB (Chessmaster) to 1.05GB (Brothers in Arms).
What stood out for me is that I've been looking for Driver '76 for awhile. But I want it for $10.00 (or less!) so I've been hunting through the bins at Wal-Mart for... hell-- to be honest, I was even doing that tonight. I'm a big videogame bargain-sniffing nerd. May as well admit it.
Seeing as how it's twice the price I want to pay for that game-- and that's probably in U.S. funds too, so it's more in Canada (can you even buy it in Canada? Who knows)-- I'm certainly not going to buy it off the PSN.
Just that one of the games was randomly one of what I consider a fairly obscure game is pretty much why I even noted that GameSpot article and made this post... and maybe just an excuse to post a pic of Jessica Chobot too.
But like I said, if they are moving obscure stuff like that to the PSN, there may be hope for titles like Star Trek: Tactical Assault or Chili Con Carnage..... we'll see come October 1, 2009.

Hi Don,
ReplyDeleteI noticed an used copy of Driver 76in local ads and sent you the reference by email, in case you're interested. I also noticed that the repackaged "stamina" battery are now in store for $39.99, still with black and silver wide covers.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Yeah, I've seen the repackaged Stamina battery in stores too. I'm sure the only reason they took it off the market was so they could Pandora-proof it.
