    Apparently I can just re-download what I bought on a PSP-3000. I'm starting to think getting that PSPgo was a terrible fucking decision.

    Edit: And of course everything I have saved on my current games will be gone if I re-download them. Arrrrrrgh.

    Can't you just plug the Go into the computer, drag the saves off, then plug your new PSP into the computer and put them on that.

    See I didn't realize all Sony systems have the same downloading features, I thought the go was special in that regard.

    Ugh, I'm going to BMt in mid-December so I guess I can splurge a little and enjoy myself before then but I'm still irritated about the whole thing. And I'm not sure this one game I want to play is worth the $150 but damn does that PSP-3000 bundle pack look nice.

    Edit: Not really that computer savvy Dreamer but thanks for letting me know about that option, my dad could help me to figure it out.

    having owed four, one of every generation (besides Go), I would say that the PSP isn't really worth it as a device to own

    but if you have to go with one, the 3000 is the way to go

    See I also have a DSi, but honestly I'm getting a bit bored of that when I compare it to how nice PSP games look and the fact that I don't use the cam and sound feature much. Don't get me wrong DS has great games but I only have 3 at the moment and really I only play Dragon Quest 9 currently. I might just bite the bullet, trade in my Go, DSi, and 3 games for the KH BbS PSP bundle.

    Shouldn't really need to be savvy. Unless the go is wacky and different from the fat one that I have you should just be able to just go to settings and hit usb connection, plug in the usb cord into a computer, double click on the drive icon that comes up on your desktop (or in my computer, depending), and find the PSP save data (in the folder PSP, then SAVEDATA), and copy everything there to wherever on your computer. Then do the same thing with your new PSP except copy that data TO the SAVEDATA folder.

    I guess the Go has a proprietary port, so you'll have to buy or get a hold of Sony's official cable for that.

    Yep. Though you have to have a memory card in it big enough, and the Go starts with 16 gigs. If you get one in the bundle with the 3000 it isn't going to be 16 gigs.

    Hooray, there are people who care about this.

    I'm all set to pick it up in K-mart tomorrow with the $20 gift card I got from Other M. I'm psyched about it, even though I know nothing of how it actually plays. Did they really manage to cram a complete KHII experience in a UMD, or are there some cutbacks I'm not aware of (smaller levels, etc)?

    I'm especially excited because it's the first KH game in like forever to not re-use the same damn areas from the first two games. Instead we get brand new worlds and enemies to fight, so saying that the game is deserving of being called Kingdom Hearts III seems certainly warranted.

    It's just too bad there's only one FF cameo. Being a prequel, this seemed to be the perfect opportunity to elaborate on Cloud and Sephiroth's backstory.

    Something that, yes, I do indeed care about. How couldn't I after seeing that awesome KHII cutscene?

    Also, I've been considering getting a 2nd PSP to use for....legitimate reasons.

    It's been a bit of a pain to review PSP games from sites that give me direct download links when my firmware isn't up to date.

    Yeah, most levels seem to be a bit smaller than most in KH2, sadly, but still, the game seems to be pretty good up to where I played, and three stories instead of one will probably make up for that fact in game time terms.

    Shorter levels is actually a positive, considering how barren many of KHII's areas were.

    Also, it blows my mind that a statement like the one I posted above is so commonly accepted now. Talk like that during 1998 and you would most likely be lynched from the internet itself.

    Edit: Also, as fan arrangements go, this is pretty darn good.

    The worst part about playing 358/2 Days was the same problem with most midquels. While you didn't know the ending, you knew how everything was going to end up already if you played KH II.
    You knew there could be no happy ending. Xion disappears and Roxas gets trapped in a computer and Axel loses his only friend. You knew it all was going to happen from the very beginning, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. You are destined to fail.

    Thinking about getting this. The last game I played on my PSP was Lunar. Shame about the no download thing. The digital version of Lunar played so much better than the UMD one.

    I just can't believe anyone would buy a Go. Why would you pay $80 more for a version of the system that does less?

    I was an idiot that's why, although I only paid around $130 for it. Right before work today I'm going to trade in my go and DSi for the KH PSP bundle though. Originally I was going to keep my DSi but I might as well start learing to accept loss due to me going to BMt in 3 and a half months. Plus I get more credit.

    358/2 was so depressing for a game you already knew the ending to. You had this little bit of hope that maybe they would've done something with the story to at least make it sort of happy. They could change the plot if they wanted, it was their game! It didn't have to be sad right? Well guess what player. It DOES have to be horribly depressing in every way. So deal.
