Please, don't buy this Wal-Mart GOW PSP

No Wal-Mart! Perhaps trying to capitalize on the recent announcement of Sony's real PSP God of War bundle, Wal-Mart has created its own "exclusive" bundle for those interested in picking one up.

Not only is it hideous, but it actually costs more than Sony's upcoming official bundle, doesn't include any extras (such as UMD movie, downloadable game). But, unlike the official bundle, this is available now.

Digital copies of DVDs tested by Wal-Mart, Sony

According to Video Business, Wal-Mart has been exclusively offering six Sony catalog titles that come loaded with a digital copy for playback on the PSP, PS3 and the PC. "The embedded copies-within Blood & Chocolate, Bobby Z, The Contractor, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth and Wind Chill-all expire within three to six months of going on sale at Wal-Mart."

There is a similar program that's being considered for Blu-ray movies. These DVD/BD movies include a file that's compatible with the PSP: simply drag and drop a file from the disc onto a connected PSP system.

"We are testing the whole concept right now," said Lexine Wong, Sony senior executive VP of worldwide marketing. "There are space requirements to include files, so we're choosing titles that don't feature a lot of bonus features [in order to fit copies]. Also, we're choosing titles that would resonate with customers that like PSP, with [action] titles like Diamond Dogs and Hero Wanted."

A Wal-Mart exclusive version of Resident Evil Apocalypse also featured a PSP transfer: over 30,000 people copied the movies to their PSP systems. With figures like that, it shouldn't be surprising to see this program expand.

Rumor: Sony silently recalling PSPs

Two different Wal-Mart employees seem to claim that Sony is taking back their PSP inventory from the world's largest retailer. The DCEmu community seems to think that Sony's attempting to patch homebrew vulnerable PSPs with less exploitable firmware and hardware. But would that really be cost efficient?

I'll scratch this rumor as false, for now. More than anything else, these Wal-Mart employees were probably shocked by the surprising sales of the PSP over the holidays. Where did all their inventory go? Into the customer's hands.
