Thanks to GameStop, we now know that those who pre-order LittleBigPlanet PSP will be rewarded with an exclusive costume pack full of 6 different outfits.

These costumes are taken from popular PS3 games such as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, MotorStorm and Killzone 2. Of course, the coolest costume is the the little tank taken from Killzone 2.

Pre-order LittleBigPlanet PSP now and November 17th, 2009.

Last month we learned that the PSP title SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 would be hitting store shelves on November 24rd. Today, Sony has announced that the game is getting a delay to January 12th, 2010. But what gives?

Producer Mark Rogers says that the delay will give them more time to properly market the game and give it the proper attention it deserves. Then again, they probably just don’t want to release it in the same month as Modern Warfare 2.

Amazon.com has today announced that they will be holding a buy 2 games get 1 free deal through Saturday, October 17th. In such an economy, this is a perfect time for gamers to rejoice and hop on this deal as fast as they can.

What’s better is games such as Madden NFL 10, Need for Speed: Shift, NHL 10 and Call of Duty: World at War all make the cut, among other titles.

Check out the full list of qualifying titles for the various consoles here.

The first we heard of a LittleBigPlanet PSP title was all the way back in February when it was announced alongside MotorStorm. At the time it was only said to be hitting store shelves sometime this year.

However, Sony has today announced that the PSP title will be hitting store shelves in North America on November 17th, 2009.

Sony hasn’t said much regarding the contents of the game but they have said that it will feature a massive DLC library, something that made the PS3 LittleBigPlanet title very popular.

Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier was first announced towards the beginning of April but at the time there was no release date announced.

High Impact Games has today come forth to let us know that Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier will be out for the PSP and PS2 on November 3rd.

It seems that the head honcho of independent game retailer Chips isn’t too confident in the future of the PSP Go in fact, he thinks its going to hit rock bottom faster than Sony expects.

During an interview with GI.biz Don McCabe went on record as saying:

I’m 99.9 percent sure it’s going to fail miserably, in which case it’s going to put back other potential people coming into the digital space

Well, if we’ve learned anything from Sony’s past hardware (PS3) we know that they sometimes have some pretty slow launches. Perhaps the PSP Go will defy the odds and come out on top? Only time will tell.

Sony has recently announced via the Playstation Blog that they will be teaming up with Amazon.com to offer Playstation Network content on the retailer’s website.

This means that you will be able to purchase games such as Flower, PAIN, Pixel Junk Eden, SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo and WipEout Pure on Amazon.com and then you will be given a code to redeem on your Playstation 3.

We’re not exactly sure of the benefits of such a partnership other than there being another place to digitally buy your games at but this also opens up a whole new door for gift ideas.

Today, Sony has announced that version 6.10 of the PSP firmware is now ready to be installed on hand held consoles everywhere. This update includes several big features such as SensMe which chooses songs stored on your PSP based on different moods you select.

Another interesting feature of 6.10 is the ability to tether a PSP Go with a Bluetooth capable cellphone for internet connectivity anywhere you can go.

That’s about it in terms of exciting features so get downloading!

If you were a fan of Atari’s Xbox 360, PS3 and PS2 Ghostbusters: The Video Game release and happen to own a PSP, you will be happy to hear that Atari has today released the above trailer for a portable version of the game.

As you can see from the trailer, just because it’s on the PSP doesn’t mean that the developers will be skimping on visuals or gameplay as it looks like it is packed with it.

Atari says Ghostbusters PSP will be out in November of this year. Anyone else as excited as I am?

hile the PSP Go isn’t officially set to go on sale until October 1st it seems that some Target locations have broken the street date, as you can see above.

This picture was taken by an Engadget reader who spotted the PSP Go in stock and on sale at a Target around Atlanta. We’re not sure exactly how many more Targets (if any) are selling the hardware but if you’re feeling lucky head over to your local store. What do you have to lose?

Sony has recently sent a memo to IGN that has effecitvely let the entire internet know that come October 1st the Playstation Store will have 16,000 peices of DLC for use with the brand new PSP Go.

If you’re scratching your head at this number, Sony breaks it down into several catagories: they will have 225 full downloadable games (PSP Minis, full PSP titles, PSN titles etc.) in addition to 2,300 movies and 13,300 TV episodes.

Sure, the number got a bit of a boost from the TV episodes but it is in fact 16,000 pieces of DLC which is all that matters. Now we’ll just have to see if another actually wants the PSP Go, right?

First announced back in April, SCEA has announced via the Playstation Blog that SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 will be released exclusively for the PSP on November 24th.

If you’ve been paying attention you’ll know that Fireteam Bravo 3 is set to be the first SOCOM PSP title to feature multiplayer co-op over both Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure modes. This means you’ll be able to link up with 2-4 players and progress through the game’s campaign wirelessly.

Considering the community behind the SOCOM franchise this most likely won’t be the last Fireteam Bravo PSP title we’ll be seeing.

The video itself runs at 60FPS so you’re really going to be able to see just how good Gran Turismo PSP’s graphics really are. Unforunately, you’re going to have to wait until October 1st to actually get your hands on the game.

Head over to Eurogamer to peep the video, here.

Kojima Productions

According to Joystiq, it will be playable on demo units that Kojima will have on hand along with a down loadable PSP demo. So remember, if you’re planning on heading to the Tokyo Game Show be sure to bring your PSP as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is sure to be one of the hand held console’s strongest titles to date.

One of those tricks is the possibility of free PSP Minis developer kits which would give a much larger group of developers access to the service. News comes to us from a recent interview done with Sony Europe’s Zeno Colaco where he was questioned about the possibility of a free dev kit, to which he responded:

“Further down the line, we may investigate a totally free model or supported model.”

However, Colaco says, having a free dev kit isn’t all peaches:

“There are dangers in having total open access; having six thousand applications where probably only thirty are discovered by the consumer. Some of the developers working on the App Store and PSP Minis tell us that they prefer our approach because they get more visibility.”

The pictures and video are nice to look at, although the trailer is outdated. And who can forget the epic music by the stylings of Yoko Shimomura and Kaoru Wada?

The game is listed for a Winter release this year in Japan. No word on when the game will be localized into English.

Gran Turimso 5

Thankfully, Polyphony Digital’s Kazunori Yamauchi recently sat down for an interview to speak of the issue where he was quoted to have said, “its release is not too far away – it will be after the PSP GT release – and, most likely, it will be a simultaneous worldwide release.”

Most likely, huh? That doesn’t sound too promising but it can at least be assumed GT5 will be released in Japan and North America very close to one another.

According to the press release, the game “features thousands of loops and sounds made by both Timbaland and Rockstar, and puts the power to make professoinal-level music at your fingertips in a format that’s portable, accesible and fun.”

No price yet, but we’ll keep you posted.
