Atari's Test Drive Unlimited for the PSP wouldn't hit retail stores before February 20. Now, one of our readers, PSPumpgun a.k.a Suicide Man 2oo7, left a tip in our mailbox and said that he is playing TDU on his handheld now. And to prove his claim, he even gave us a link to a YouTube video that he, himself, uploaded.

While PSPPumpgun didn't tell us where he got this, it is an "open secret" among PSP users that this might be/ could be/ is no other than an ISO. We tried the boxed game on Xbox 360 and we were in awe with the great expanse of the island of Oahu. After hearing the devs mention that all 1,000 miles were placed in the handheld version and no loading screen will be seen whatsoever, we thought we really had to see it for ourselves.

We want this game badly. We're a sucker for racers, as you all know by now. Oh, well. As long as our readers are happy, we are happy for them as well. Thanks, Suicide Man 2oo7 for the heads up!

 » Exactly

Youre right, Im using the promo version as cso.
Its hard to get past the videos. You have to press X when the memory stick does NOT flash or it will freeze. I guess you now where to get this iso from qj'ers :P

 » no video freeze

i don't have that video freezing problem... do we have the same iso? maybe mine is the final version?

iv e found 2 promos for download that have slightly different names (regions) that could be it? but someone could have just renamed it and put it back on the net.

Well, i hope this teaches a few lessons to those thinking about releasing PSP games, a few weeks later than the other system counter parts

Balls to BLackcats, there a bunch of tossers

its more like double U double U double U DOT T O R R E N T S P Y DOT COM, and if you cant figure that f.U.c.k.er out, your a moron an need to be shot.

Also, to all the a$$ wipes that think pirating is bad, heres a news flash for you, last year, the games industry raked in over 14 billion in 2006,

And I'm guess you have never done anything ILLEGAL ever, sorry but don't mone about ISO down loaders, when the government is the biggest thief there is

Haha, public torrent sites? more like double U double U double U dot viruses are us. COM, let along 20kb/s from 50000000 seeds!

 » someone needs a spell checker.

Lol, you moron, read the f.u.c.king comments before you download the torrent,

If there is a virus, I'm sure that virus checker you installed will pick it up. Unless you use Norton's anti-virus.

Ooh and while I'm at it, here's a link I'm sure you will find beneficial.

Whats your problem with Blackcats...are you one of those leecher like peeps...

You don't buy games, game makers don't get money. They don't make money, they stop making games. Simple.
The PSP game makers don't get enough money, they make less games for the PSP. Less games from developers + less games for you to download.
Gaming industry in a whole is looking good, but the PSP scene, not so good. Like you pointed out: " Well, i hope this teaches a few lessons to those thinking about releasing PSP games"...So the game makers should magically know when a product is a hit, decide on which platforms to make it for and magically make them all to be released at the same time. Good ***** luck on that one. Get real mothrfckr. No game development is alike. Timetables change, systems are different and no one, I mean no one is making the game for you on your timetables. Of course they could have released the xbox 360 version 6 months later, so that your "plan" would make any sense. Right?
Cpt. Sharks are ayewaiting for you at the end of the plank. moron.

Cpt, jack black suck dack you dumbass, torrents are the least likely place to get a virus from, you sound so damn stupid right now, why isn't EXTREMELY unlikely to get a virus off of torrents? if you don't know then you're dumber than you look, and i'm guessing you look pretty dumb to start with. on a side note :torrent spy rocks! the comments are a great feature.

 » ONLINE capabilities!

I think whats missing is the discussion of the game in itself... It is one of the rare INFRASTRUCTURE racing games out! My bro lives across the country and now we can race each other! It's a Massively Multiplayer Racing game! :D.. its incredible to have everyone just driving around! MORE games need to follow this model and go Infrastructure... Online capabilities is what will propel the PSP.. similar to have the XBOX live system carried the xbox... Infrastructure is the key to success for the pSp!

i have the ps2 beta version i was selected to test it

The file is in 53 fragments, so there isn't much you can do with it (unless there is a program to combine them all)

Paul: sigh.

Infrastructure mode is pretty neat. I wish more games would support it. The whole XLink Kai thing attempted to remedy this, but there's rarely anyone on any game besides Monster Hunter Portable.

That said, being a Hawaii resident...it's a really bad misrepresentation of our state. I've been driving around for about an hour and have only found one discernable landmark. It's quite...impersonal, and just doesn't feel like Hawaii should. The roads appear to be pretty accurate, but a little more effort could have been taken on the buildings. Oahu isn't very big after all, and just a few well-modeled landmarks would have gone a long way.
