164w ago - SCEE's Mike Kebby of the PlayStation Store Team has posted news of a PSP favorites promotion that begins this week.

To quote: I'm really pleased to announce that we've got a new promotion coming to PlayStation Store this week (starting Thursday 1st of April), and it's all focused on a range of our PSP content.

For two weeks only, you'll be able to grab a great deal on some great PSP titles. We're calling them favourites because, well, they're some of our favourites (though like all our children we love them all equally, just some more so than others) and the promotion features a range of well loved games that we're sure you'll want to snap up at these brilliant prices.

I'm really pleased with the titles we have been able to get reduced for you and feel that there is definitely something for everyone here, but don't just take my word for it, see for yourself by reading the full listing below.

For those of you who still have yet to pick up your very own PSPgo system, there's no better time than now. As most of you already know, PSPgo is the first all-digital, full-game handheld entertainment system on the market to date.

212w ago - Don't have a PS3 yet? GameStop has a very good promotion right now, allowing you to save $100 off the purchase of a 80GB PS3 system when you trade in your PS2 and three games, as follows:

To get the credit, your system must include AV cables, power cable and a working DualShock 2 controller. Most PS2 games will be eligible for the promo, but they must be worth at least $2 in trade value, meaning your old copy of Madden '04 will definitely not work.

Considering the cost of a new PS2 is now $100, this is quite possibly the best deal you'll be able to get on selling your old and busted system.

With Uncharted 2, MAG, Heavy Rain and a number of PS3 exclusives in the pipeline, now might be the time to jump in... unless you're waiting for that still-elusive price drop.
