Last month, there was an Amazon deal for a PSP Slim. Getting one from them allows you to get one free game - it was either Retribution or MLB. Now, they're trying to drive sales for the PSP-3000 by offering a similar deal. The mechanics are the same, the choices, a bit different. This time around, the deal (active until May 16) is only in effect if you buy a PSP-3000 Piano Black Core Pack. Buying one lets you choose a free game from a melting pot of three Greatest Hits: either Kratos, golf, or blobs.

Details in the full article.

While this blogger enjoyed math class when he was in grade school, a lot of his other classmates didn't.

Christmas is coming early for the hordes of LocoRoco fans. A visit to the said game's page on the official PlayStation Japan website brings a popup showing an eerily familiar character.

According to tipster Alex Rowe, the post also says that the new LocoRoco game is totally different from the PlayStation 3 version, LocoRoco Cocoreccho. In fact, the post describes the new LocoRoco game as one for the PlayStation Portable.
