I usually do this myself. Dunno if I can hold out for a sale on this though. I'll prolly break down and buy it in a few days.
What is Castlevania Chronicles? And is it something I can put on my PSP?
As for the game, I haven't played it (I'm not sure it even came out over here) but I haven't heard good things about it. If you're wondering, it's an entirely different game from Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles, which came out on the PSP a couple of years back.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania_Chronicles
Essentially Castlevania Chronicles is a remake of a Castlevania game that was originally releaesd only in Japan on a Sharp PC. The remake being released on the Playstation in the US in 2001 and the original game being released in 1993.
Think of it as a Mario: Lost Levels/Rondo of Blood situation where the US didn't get the original game but got an enhanced port later down the line. It's old-style castlevania (Think Rondo of Blood/Castlevania III/IV) as opposed to the new Metroidvania stuff.
Also finally, yeah it's playable on your PSP since it's just a Playstation re-release.

Edit: According to the Wikipedia page, the plot is the same as the very first Castlevania game on the NES, so it's essentially a remake of a remake.

I was waiting on the Comic Store post, but the PAL one is the only one to have gone up. When/if the NA blog gets theirs posted, I might update it if needbe.
How long is this game, approximately?
Ug, I really wanted to try it but I'm in NA. I was waiting to see if they would put it up, then I realized it was Wednesday.
Sigh, maybe next week.
You can make a PAL PSN and Download it, like, right now, if you really wanted. Pretty similar to making a Japanese PSN ID except you'll be able to read everything.
Hm.
I will do that tomorrow.
I'd guess around 15 hours on first playthrough, dependent on if you get lost much and on how much item collection/map exploration you do.
The bad ending is pretty mellow, but the good ending does a complete 180.
Alundra
Arc the Lad
Arc the Lad is decent (and hopefully this means that we'll get the vastly superior Arc the Lad 2 as a PS1 classic eventually), but Alundra is totally awesome and a game that I've long hoped would show up since I no longer have my old copy (plus a portable version would be great). More than that, though, these are both Working Designs released games. Does this mean that Vic Ireland & Sony have worked out a deal and we'll see more WD games as PS1 classics in the future? I can only hope.

All my dicks, etc.
Well, I guess it must have been a PS1 zelda-clone, considering what thread I'm in. That's pretty cool.
Can't say I was expecting this, but good news, nevertheless.

That's pretty cool. Hopefully this means games like FFT and Xenogears have a chance to come out on the PAL store.

If you suck at classic CastleVania (like I do) there is an arrange mode. You can set the difficulty and the number of lives to make it a lot easier.
'Cause I read on the PS update on Facebook that they apparently put up Y: The Last Man this week.
I have the first two trade paperbacks of that and I'd love to get around to finishing it.
A couple of months back I told the guy that posts the comic updates on the EU blog that they need to a) have a preview section (since it wasn't noticeable what was a full comic and what was just a 5pg preview) and b) put the comic store on the PS3.
The first part he answered saying that it'd be kinda hard but he'd see what he can do. The second part he said that they're working on it.

I dunno, I'd be pretty angry if FFT and Xenogears got put up on the PAL store (or the NA one for that matter, speaking of Xeno since FFT is already on) in Japanese.
Why would they put the Japanese versions of them up when both those games have NA versions? You realise I specifically mentioned them because neither of them ever got a PAL release, right?
I was just confused since you'd quoted the post about the Japanese import thing.
I take it you meant it as a "Hopefully the imports won't just be from Japan"? Because that makes sense and is probably what I should have thought of in the first place. >.>
Well yeah, I was more talking about the general addition of an import section. There shouldn't really be that much difference between uploading a Japanese PS1 game and uploading a NA PS1 game on the PAL store. The other way around may be a bit more difficult, unless Sony enables 50Hz games on NA PS3's.
Yeah, a couple weeks ago I got an e-mail survey from Sony which asked an awful lot of questions about whether I would be interested in being able to access comic store content from my PS3 or laptop (and more importantly if that would make me buy more content)
It's retarded that you can't play 50Hz games on an NA PS3, especially because most people are going to be upscaling them anyway.
It shouldn't matter with HDTVs, but apparently it does.
The fact that the game was originally designed to output to 576i instead of 480i shouldn't matter at all if the PS3 is going to upscale it to 1080p anyway.
Here is one for a standard def rental of Clash of the Titans
And here is one for Charlie's Angels
I'm likely going to be playing the Subway game every day now, so anything I win that I have no need for (namely, anything that's not a Move bundle, a PSP bundle or a piece of high-end equipment) I'll be posting in here
Hell, even if I win one of the three big games they're offering (LBP2, GT5, ModNation) I wouldn't mind gifting those, because I really have no need or want for any of those three
Thank you.
edit: I decided to see what the Subway thing is all about, and I won a copy of LocoRoco 2 for the PSP.
Here's the code:
Would be pretty nice to win GT5, since my understanding is they'll be sending their copies out early.
edit 2: And a Clash of the Titans rental:
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
The money I spent on Pain I can live without, since it taught me a lesson not to buy shitty games but that 0% on my trophy list? It hurts me. It'll forever be the Australia of my trophy list. Embarassing and not wanted at all but always there, never leaving...
Oh wait, I do:
I tried to use it, but it said it was invalid, guess someone stealth used it. Maybe I'll try my luck at Subway.
