EBgames - Trade in three games and get a SONY MADE PSP game. Either take the game, bring it to another store and get a different game or keep it. The deal ends today, but you could probably trick some workers. 8)

**GameRush (Blockbuster) - Trade in two games and get a PSP game for $30. GameRush gives you about double what GameStop will give you for each game. My friend traded in 8 PS2 games and got about $130.

**Best Buy - Order online and get a $20- coupon for items over $200. Then with shipping it'll only cost about $235.

And as for games, I own WipeOut Pure, Need For Speed Underground: Rivals, and METAL GEAR AC!D. I have to say NFSU: R is the game I keep going back to. The reason I got wipe out was for the webbrowser and AC!D is just a plain ol' good game.

I suggest for a starting line-up:
1) NFSU : R
2) METAL GEAR AC!D
3) Lumines
4) WipeOut Pure
5) Untold Legends

and you could switched Untold with DarkStalkers.

Oh and don't get a store warrenty. Bring your PSP to compUSA and show them your proof of purchase. Then for about $30 bucks you can get a full-on warrenty. From what I've heard it's one of the best you can get.

** These offers may have ended, but I doubt it. Just check for yourself.

Not really, only on dark backgrounds. I think the next unit I get will also have a problem, plus I have to use the stupid cellphone keyboard to type in a long number.

I have:
1.- Wipeout Pure (Excellent racing game)
2.- Lumines (Magnificent puzzle game w/ great music)
3.- Untold Legends (for me it is just so so)

...also I have a dead pixel on my PSP, and I dont like that, I would like to return it and get another one, but I dont think that can be possible (and also I live in Mexico, and it would take some time for me to go again to the US).

I'm all alone, dealing with my broken heart. Why I have feelings if they feel so bad. All seems so dark, will I ever see light?

here's what I think happened: they were on acid, and they suddenly decided to make a Metal Gear card game. later, once the effects of acid had been long gone, they made it a pretty damn fun game :).

seriously though, why would making it a card game be bad? I think people are just stereotyping when they think "card game=stupid and for little kids". the game's a turn-based strategy game, and if you'd like those with a Metal Gear theme, then get acid :) (and I mean Metal Gear acid :P)
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

The reasons why Metal Gear AC!D is cardbased:

A) The PSP can handle the graphics, but can the graphics handle the battery? Right now the PSP processor is under-clocked via Firmware ver. 1.5. It's underclocked to 222 mhz. Why? Because right now, anymore will just DRAIN the battery to nothing. The metal gear series is very graphic intense, so it had to be done.

B) Controls, no L2 and R2. Really not much way to work around it.
