Not bad, not bad - except I sold my original PSP! D'oh! sure I know someone who will have one laying about though

but only 17 titles? I mainly play the more obscure stuff on my PSP. the article confirms the following games :

Killzone
Socom
Wipeout
Everybodys Golf
echochrome
buzz
master quizz
loco roco
patapon

So a further 8 to announce, I'm holding my breath for GTA & God of War.

Do you think this is the answer to there trade in program?

Of those I would most likely pick Killzone, Wipeout and Everybody's Golf although it depends what the other 8 titles are.

It may well be their solution for existing UMD owners although it is a bit convoluted and as you say won't work unless you still have your old PSP. Luckily I still have my old Japanese white PSP-1000. If I didn't still have it two of my nephews own PSP's so I could borrow one of theirs.

Ive had this stewing with me today and for me it's a good deal, I thumbed threw my small collection of games and could find 3 games I would play again. Gaming is just one of the many reasons I'm getting a Go specifically.

But for people with large collection? how do you choose 3 games?

Also from that list it appears its only games from Sony themselves, so no GTA. Also I prey that were at least offered loco roco and patapons sequels.

1 week to go, still not sure what I will be saying in 2 weeks time but I shall remain positive.

EDIT : Full list released, found on Joystiq -

Killzone Liberation
Medievil
Wipeout Pure
Buzz Brain Bender
Buzz Master Quiz
SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
Everybody's Golf
Resistance: Retribution
Syphon Filter Dark Mirror
Lemmings
LocoRoco
Patapon
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow
Echochrome
Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice
Daxter

[caster troy]

really fed up about this. i have had the psp fat (day one) psp slim and lite (day one) skipped the 3000 and i thought this was a bigger leap in tech to go for it. but i sold my last psp to pay for this one. so now i can not get this deal even though i have registered my s and l. does sony think that people will keep their old psp then pay for a new one that is way over priced!!!!! come on sony let me have my 3 games that i am entitled to!!!!!

[iancot]

Anyone trusting enough and keeping their old PSP but willing to log in with my account to get me the codes for my Go! ? In return if the codes are seperate you can have one or I can paypal gift transfer a tenner for your troubles?

Honest types only need apply and I'll have removed all my funding methods when you get in there!

thanks in advance, Ian

[pmcguire]

I can help you out with that Ian if you like?

[Moogle]

I tried registering several of my US PSP games ( all my existing PSP games are US ) in my Japanese PSP 1000 using my UK count but kept coming up with an error message. Either it's because I have a Japanese console or because I am trying to use a US game. I think tomorrow I will have to go to my local independent game shop and pick up the cheapest second hand UK game and try it with that. If I can get a wi-fi connection in the store I'll see if I can just borrow one for a few minutes.

[iancot]

Hi, thanks very much I will PM you to sort out the details!

cheers

[anastamos]

If anyone could help me out with registering their old PSP under my Playstation account so that I could get the codes for my GO.
Im happy to pay a fiver via pay pal gift.
As per previous poster, no funding methods are available as its a brand new account.

Thanks

[Tonks01]

Which 3 games did people choose then?

I'm thinking of going with Resistance, Ratchet & Clank & Pursuit Force .

Decisions decisions, Ive played through Daxter and highly recommend it. I wonder if they will add more titles to the deal in the future as the offer is open till march next year? might hang on to 1 or 2 codes.

[Doz007]

I have't got my codes yet, but I think i'll be going for Resistance, Wipeout and either Daxter or Ratchet. I really can't decide which one is for me, any help is welcome

[Del Boy Smiffy]

This offer runs till March 2010, so could i register for the codes and just wait/hope that they add to the list or do you need to do it right away?

[Tonks01]

Appears the next batch of codes for this offer has been sent out, if your waiting check your inbox

[pmcguire]

I only got one code in my inbox, will I receive 3 seperate ones eventually?

[Tonks01]

When I spoke to Tescos they mentioned that they sold out of all their initial stock and it was mentioned in another thread that HMV orders have moved to 'awaiting stock' suggesting they were sold out.

Can only mean good things for us Go owners

[Zain]

I'm not having any joy with this.

Followed the procedures but keeps coming up with ' No Content found'
It's a white PSP2003 model.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am getting exactly the same thing. Has anyone else had similar?

[daveb975]

The way to sort out that problem seems to be to login again with the PSPGo, and then with the original PSP immediately afterwards.

The problem is I am now getting "This game cannot be registered (805512E4)". This is a UK game on a US PSP, so I am wondering if that is the problem.

I had this problem (after finally being able to connect which I couldn't do for ages whilst the PS Store was down the other night!) and I discovered it was because I hadn't downloaded the PSPGO theme, ensure you have downloaded the PSPGO theme then try again and you should find it works - least it did for me!

The instructions Sony show online are not 100% correct,I think that is why it is causing confusion for owners. Got my code this morning for the 3 games, chosen Resistance (because it is the only £25 game out of the list, and Ialso wanted it) and Daxter.

Got my codes today. Thinking of Resistance, Killzone and maybe 1 of the Syphon Filter's... not sure which one though. Shame neither of the GTA's are on the list.

I also cannot understand why Fifa 09 is the same price as Fifa 10 . . . ho-hum!

[Cenzo74]

Interesting development when I tried to make use of my codes last night... GT downloaded just fine, however when I tried to use my reward code for the 3 free games after logging in to playstation store and redeeming the code it kept coming up with the message that thetre was "no content available for you to buy at this time".

I was able to successfully redemm for Killzone Liberation and Syphon Filter Dark Mirror, however Resistance Retribution kept coming back with an error code so I was unable to download.

Strange!

I had the resistance problem, but I switched off the PSP Go. Switched on and went back into the store, went to downloads (not entering the voucher code), and resistance was listed there as it was assigned to my account. I then tried downloading that way, and it worked.

[Zain]

Think I've had some success.

Tried again last night and managed to download the theme on both the Go and the old PSP.
Came up with a down load, done that successfully.

One thing I wasn't sure about, is it 1 UMD for 3 Codes? or do I need to repeat the process another 2 times?

Thanks

Its one UMD for one code, the code entitles you to 3 free downloads from a set list.

iownloaded 2 so far (Killzone & Syphon Filter DM) and will try Resistance again tonight.

Next time you access the store on your GO, if you enter the reqards section you should see two slots occupied by the themes you've downloaded (1 x GT and 1 x PSP GO theme). If they are there then it looks like you have done it all correctly and you should get your codes via two separate Emails within a few days. Mine arrived in less than 48 hours.

I have to say on a personal note, I'm loving the go. Don't find it uncomfortable to use, the games look (imho) sweeter on the slightly smaller screen and the poscket size with no need to lump around these flimnsy UMDs is a real bonus for me!

I'll give that a go tonight...

[daveb975]

I have managed to register using a different UMD.

I got a confirmation message that said something like, 'Please go to the PSN store to download your game'.

The only thing that I am confused about is the PSPGo theme which needs to be downloaded. Is this the GT one, as that is the only one I can see? If so, do I need to download it onto the Go again?
