@Salen:
Daxter pack.
Comes with a 1gb card,daxter and family guy umd.Best deal or wait for the GOW red psp.I have a black slim myself.

enewtabie

@Cruithne: Hmm. Any suggestions on which PSP deal to get? The only one I've seen that actually sparked my interest was the white Vader one with the Star Wars Battleground game thing.

Salen

@Salen: I used to never look at mt PSP in favour of the DS, but lately the PSP is getting a lot more love.
Jeanne d'Arc was a GOTY contender.

Cruithne

@liquid_kore: Preordered the 360 version, when it didn't arrive yesterday I couldn't wait, so I went out and bought the PS3 version.

Cruithne

@pylon_trooper: Love? I don't know if I could ever love a handheld as much as my DS. Don't get me wrong, I've thought of getting a PSP for a while, but other than this and a few others, there's just not much on it that really sparks my desire.

That, and I've tried to input info using the Sony typing style thingie from the PS3, and a friend of mine told me that you do the same thing on the PSP. :/

Salen

@diablodevil2:

Agreed, Ikaruga ftw.

AndrewG009

@sandwiches: It's pretty ace, Sandwiches. It's one of the coolest strategy games on a handheld. The handheld platforms are the real kings of the SRPG/Strategic games of late!

Both worthy in game and in little desk trinket.

pylon_trooper

@Sparx:
Get your hands on Ikaruga, then it won't hurt so bad :P

diablodevil2

@ Fahey, where did you get that EB Canada will have the schwag? I gotta know or else I'll order from the website rather than through my local store.

RPGr

Anyone played this game yet? Fun? I'm hoping it sucks because the last thing my desk needs is more crap.

sandwiches

wow, i dont even have a psp, but i still want this

bigman88zz

Those look hot!!!!

dead_red_eyes

@Justin42: Have you tried the demo on the PSN store, man? Try it out. It's pretty tasty.

pylon_trooper

Hey did anyone get R-types off of the Playstation store this week btw?
I have to say... It's soooooo awesome having perfect acrade ports of both r-type 1 and r-type 2 on my psp.
It's great on ps3 but playing on the psp it's even better.

krisb

Ugh, love R-Type, love the model, don't necessarily like tactical strategy games, not sure about the $40, what to do???

Justin42

I'll never see this in the UK :(

Winterbringer

very do want though, I dunno if I'll have the money in time though.

SkutSkut

@Cruithne: How come you bought both?

liquid_kore

That is so fucking sexy, and the game demo is pretty sweet as well.
Unfortuantely I blew my games budget buying both the PS3 and 360 versions of GTA.

Cruithne

I'd be afraid of losing that. I still need to forage some model kits and make my cerberus the size of a mousepad.

Sparx, R-Type's not that hard, Gradius is hard. Dodonpachi Daijou is hard, R-Type, yea it's hard but being the grand daddy of shmups, it's easier than its spunkier grand kids

SkutSkut

@Salen: Rectify that situation, Salen! Go on, feel the love. There's a lot of love on that little black machine.

pylon_trooper

Oooooh. I wish I owned a PSP now. Thats so darn smexy. Mmmmmmmm....

Salen

Wow, very cool schwag. Love Japanese spaceship designs.

FightingChance

[www.atlus.com]

That is the scale :)

Mike Fahey

I don't know the scale but I can tell you the ship is about an inch long.

Mommar

Awesome. Too bad I'll have to pass on it. Not because I don't happen to own a PSP (because I don't) but because R-Type remains the hardest fucking game I've ever had the displeasure of getting my hands on!

Sparx

What's the scale?

sandwiches

@Shiryu: Yujin's Shooting Game Historica, as it says in the post (silly me, just looking at the preety pics, eh?)

With a name like that, no wonder I couldnt remeber it, tought...

Shiryu

Wow! NICE! Looks like one from those collection that also had the GRadius ships... Can't recall the name of that pack (also had Darius ships).

Very nice indeed!

Shiryu

This game is pre-ordered faster than you can say Jack Robinson. Or Thompson!

pylon_trooper

It's just a paint variation of the R-Type Gashapon from those Shooting Game Historika sets. The paint job is cool, though it's no "model" per-se.

Mommar

awesome, something to put next to my Pixelated Castlevania pre-order shwag figure man type guy!

Derigor

Whoa. Sexy.

Fulgurator

ooooooooooh. aaaaaaaaah. *drools*

nicopolitan

I don't care about the size, all I know is that that thing oozes awesome. I'd preorder that game right now if I had a PSP just so I could get that.

Zero_Beat

Wow that is a really cool pre-order bonus.

Too bad I was really unimpressed with the game. I thought it was kind of boring. Advance Wars for me plz!

Adam_Locked

@diablodevil2:

I'll stick with the vertical shooters, like Aero Fighters or Raiden

Sparx

Cool, I was hoping we would get this after seeing the Japanese item.

DTJAAAAM

@pylon_trooper:
Dang. I'm pretty powerless to resist this type of game, especially when it's good.

Thanks for the info!

sandwiches

After playing the demo I felt I could kind of go either way on this game, but that is some nice pre-order goodness...

ビッグ ボス

Woah! Those are awesome! I don't have a PSP, so I won't be playing R-Type Command, but the Super R-Type fan in me says "GO FOR IT!".

Pinhead

@Pinhead: Well I felt the same way with Final Fantasy Crisis Core for PSP... I didn't own a PSP but I wanted the random Shinra UMD Case.

A Day after the game's release I bought the PSP from Best Buy.

Seventh

@Mommar: I own the standard color, and it's actually about 2 inches.

I want this color too, but $40? If the game was $20 like Patapon, I'd snag it up right now.

Yeux de nouilles

Dude that kicks ass......Why are we all so easily lured by free plastic game related toys?

VicViper99

Must. Resist. Putting. Pre-Order...

deft0k

@Salen: Well, you'd have the best of both worlds, having a DS and PSP. They're wonderfully different and offer a great library each.

pylon_trooper

the model is sexy, but $40? No thanks.

I'll still play the game and enjoy it, but if only Atlus had made it $20, $25 max, I would purchase it.

DigiMish

Dammit dammit dammit.... I have no room for toys and crap but this is awesome. Not to mention I've spent too much on games recently.

Damn damn damn! Evil....

PlaidNinja

First time I wish I had a PSP. I always loved R-type.

Cor-Wii

That collectible is a good as on my shelf.
