QuoteI know Japan got Winning Eleven 9 for PSP. It's done pretty well (157,000 copies in 4 weeks). I think that's it for Japan. Nothing comes to mind when I think of US releases. Burnout Legends--that's about it.
Did any notable PSP game come out recently?

But the thing about GTA:LCS is that I hear people saying that it'll be the best game ever and will put the PSP ahead of the DS, but I'll bet that 90% of people who want it already have a PSP.

Capcom's got a series of re-makes in the pipeline that they showed at TGS. There's the Mega man 1 re-make with really big heads, coupled with a level editor. There's the Mega Man X remake with what seems to be 3d polys in 2d. And finally there's the Ghouls 'n Ghosts for the masochistic. That should get some hard-core gamers in line.
If Sony doesn't show anything really new with games by e3 2k6, one could chalk up this system for just a piracy-inclined machine. [/off tangent]
On topic, is there really a market for an iTunes for videos? Sounds like more of a counter measure for those who download their favorite shows and music videos via the usual 'dubious' methods...
Can Apple repeat the whole iPod craze with this device?

That's what they said when iTunes launched for music.

QuoteIt's Wi-Fi only. No online multiplayer.
The GTA LC does boast multiplayer, a franchise first. Make it on-line play, and that should push some hardware.
QuoteIt's also limited to six people at a time. That's a very small number of players for such a big city. If there's no radar you could wander around for ten minutes without finding another player.
GTA isn't fun in multiplayer.

well um.....you can download desperate housewives episodes for 1.99
Interesting. What would be cheaper in the long run? A boxed set of [insert TV show] or download episodes via iTunes? I've been out of the TV loop, so I don't know how many episodes make up an average season. iTunes could be a cheap, no-frills solution to boxed sets with all the extras. I'm safely assuming there won't be any commericals when you download them to your video iPod....

So there's a small premium in the end, but you get the immediacy of downloading it the next day after it airs (for the current season). Good if you miss an episode. But the 320x240 resolution doesn't get me too excited. I suspect Apple will some day release a "real" Video-Pod when the infrastructure is in place to download mass movies.

Going from Vudu's comments, I don't think he was aware that there were GTA games before 3
...not that they were noteworthy before that point, though.

QuoteFor the record, I played and beat the original GTA and got about halfway through GTA2 before getting bored. Never played the one set in London.

I forgot there was multiplayer in the first two games. I never touched it.
