So...D-Day for the PSP is today. Liberty Stories is now out. What could be the last great battle of the PSP's life has begun!

IGN gives it a 9/10. The lowest score of the GTA games yet, but still very strong. 1UP and the Official Playstation Magazine give it the same. EGM gave it a %91.7. Good reviews.

We come to it al last. The great battle of our time.

Seriously, there's no way a single game will change the PSP's fortunes. As strong as GTA is, it's no match for the waves upon waves of titles that are filling the DS's rosters.

Any notable differences between LCS and the home console versions?

wandering: we can never underestimate GTA. People are dumb. They dont have an mp3 player, and sony offers them one at a ridiculous price. They just may take it.

we should be thanking Apple for putting an ipod in everybody's hands... without the ipod mini and now nano, people would be buying many more PSPs, methinks

People are dumb, sure, but not quite dumb enough to pay several hundred dollars for something they can already get on their playstation or pc (or gameboy!).

Don't forget about the ipod video - which pretty much just destroyed any remaining reasons one might've had for wanting to own a psp.

In March of this year, Kaz Hirai told attendees at the PSP launch party: “If someone told you that the PSP is a portable gaming device, shoot these people. The PSP is not a portable gaming device, it is really a convergent portable entertainment device.”

I love how Sony is like, the Anti-Nintendo. Reggies all, "We're about making games!" and making those games more appealing to everybody, and then Sony's all "THE PS3 IS NOT A GAME CONSOLE. IT HAS LINUX." and "Shoot people who say our videogame console isn't a videogame console."

Seriously. How can be people still buy their bullcrap?

Erm...and I mean, the stuff that comes out of the mouths of the higher ups, not the merchandise.

Any news on the PSP GTA sales? At my local Walmart yesterday they seemed pretty well instock so it didnt seem to gather much intrest here woo hoo!, in other good news there were only 2 copies of Metroid pinball left!

Zach · « **Reply #285 on:** October 28, 2005, 09:58:25 AM »

from the article wandering posted

"We guarantee that each of the console manufacturers will continue to beat the 'this is not a game console' drum loudly over the next year as they launch their new game devices. Will any of them succeed at capturing the mass market this time around?"

Well it sure is obvious that the writers of that article havent even listened to ANYTHING nintendo has said.

HA HA HA sony saying psp isn't for gaming and GTA:loser story bombing is funny LOL!

only Kutaragi OD-ing and dies is funnier

Artimus · « **Reply #287 on:** October 28, 2005, 01:04:02 PM »

GTA didn't bomb...why would you say that? Because one Wal-Mart had stocks? Wal-Mart gets in a TON of copies.

nickmitch · « **Reply #288 on:** October 28, 2005, 01:07:28 PM »

They ARE the Wal-Mart.

TMW · « **Reply #289 on:** October 28, 2005, 01:15:23 PM »

Wasn't GTA for the PSP supposed to be like...horrid with load screens or something?

nickmitch · « **Reply #290 on:** October 28, 2005, 04:56:38 PM »

Isn't that like, half of the PSP games?

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #291 on:** October 31, 2005, 12:16:26 PM »

For Ape Escape PSP, there's literally a load screen for the title screen, then a load screen for another load screen for a menu that takes you to a load screen that takes you to the level-chooser place that takes you to another load screen that takes you to the actual game that will probably lead you into a room which will prompt another load screen.

That's 100% factual. Considering each load screen is 30-45 seconds it takes around 4-5 minutes to actually get the game going after you turn on the PSP. That's ridiculous.

anyone play GTA yet? is Sony's trump card about to fire the DS (lame, lame, lame)? just wondering, because the last time I saw a PSP in someone's hands was over a month ago.

stevey · « **Reply #294 on:** November 07, 2005, 10:49:59 AM »

No the game still loading...

Sir_Stabbalot · « **Reply #296 on:** November 07, 2005, 03:33:43 PM »

So... Any sale numbers?

IceCold · « **Reply #297 on:** November 07, 2005, 03:50:26 PM »

October NPD #s should come out around the middle of the month; I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing them.

vudu · « **Reply #298 on:** November 08, 2005, 08:36:57 AM »

Which reminds me, we never got September NPD #s for PSP, did we?

Sir_Stabbalot · « **Reply #299 on:** November 08, 2005, 11:33:27 AM »

I haven't heard a single thing about GTA for the PSP. Seems like it bombed. Am I correct?
