Is that a typo, are they seriously trying to port that game to PSP?! How the hell would that even work!

There's a thread on the game here somewhere. Rock Band: Unplugged it's called. Looks good too.

I've not hacked my PSP either, I want to, but I'd have to buy a pandora battery and make a magic memory stick, which is just more money and effort.

I haven't either.

Same here. Even in moments when I've genuinely considered doing so, it was only for the sake of chucking some PS1 titles on there, rather than to pirate full UMD releases, which I honestly don't mind paying for at all, given that there are some great games out for it, and they can usually be found cheap, not long after launch.

Exactly, every new PSP game is £17.99 at the very most. More than reasonable so I am happy to pay. Also never played a pirate PSP game happy to say.

I'm putting CFW on my old PSP now, but I'm going to be using it to play PSone games etc.

If I want a PSP game, I'll buy it. You can't exactly get many PSP games on a 4gb memory stick anyway.

You can get more on one than a UMD

Anyway... piracy bad. Buy games, you batards.

Has anyone else noticed how slim the pickings for PSP games has become recently. Anything over three months old is really hard to get a hold of. Even the GAME website is carrying very little these days.

Yep, PSP is pretty much limited to about 1/2 a shelf at most in most stores now.

That being said, there seems to be a real boom in the availability of a lot of titles second hand. My local GAME has them stocked on the floor because there isn't enough space in the bay, some really good stuff too. I just wish I could afford them.
