Hideo Kojima is one busy man, and it looks like he will be one for the years to come. He has two different games (three if you count Lords of Shadow) under his supervision right now, but he already has his eye on what he'll be doing after MGS Rising and his personal pet project, MGS Peace Walker. He also has a lot of downright weird ideas sometimes. Case in point: singing and screaming weapons in Peace Walker. Say what?

Like with what the UK stores did last week, Amazon slashed off US$ 5 to the PSP Go. Looks like although the launch of Sony's UMD-less handheld led the PSP sales to skyrocket the past couple of weeks, the retailer does not have enough confidence that it will be able to sustain it, hence their own price cut.

Looks like the retailers over at UK are deliberately disobeying Sony's set price points for PSPGo. Eurogamer is reporting that Amazon.co.uk, Play, GAME, and HMV have all dropped their prices for the newest Sony handheld, from £224.99 (US$ 359) to £199.99 (US$ 319).

In case you're into buying pre-owned games, here's another alternative shop for you. Retailer Walmart is joining in on the race of pre-owned games sales, along GameStop and Amazon.

We had a bit of a PSP trifecta this week. We got a closer look at two of the year's most-anticipated PSP titles -- Gran Turismo and LittleBigPlanet -- as well as an idea of how these two big console games would translate themselves to the handheld experience, particularly the new PSP Go. And speaking of the Go, could Sony be readying a Western release of the PSP Adhoc Party service to coincide with the Go's launch? Read all about it and more in this week's PSP Weekend Warrior.

Well this we haven't heard of in quite a while. A new UMD movie is out and about on sale at Amazon, and Warner Bros. is apparently hoping some of the magic will spill over to the dying format. In celebration of the release of the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie, they are releasing a UMD box set containing the first five iterations of the wizarding franchise.

Koei has sent out an official announcement for the US release of the PSP port of Warriors Orochi 2. Check out game details and the release date after the jump.
