Atlus' upcoming
Yggdra Union is revamping the cult classic GBA SRPG for Sony's handheld. For those that can't wait for some more card-battling action, we heed you to pre-order the game at
Gamestop. As usual, Atlus has cooked up another cool pre-order gift. This time,
Yggdra Union comes with a free soundtrack CD which contains 56 tracks of music from the game. For those that were already interested in picking up the unique SRPG, this is certainly a nice bonus.

Video game retailer GameStop recently held a
conference call to discuss its corporate earnings. They discussed the shortages of Wii and Xbox 360. While the 360 hardware situation will be alleviated shortly, the retailer predicts it will take six months for Wii supply to effectively meet demand. Interestingly,
GameDaily notes that "the one platform GameStop is anticipating some supply issues with is the PSP."
During the holiday season, the PSP was quite a difficult item to find. Many retail stores continued to run out of the hardware -- has supply been an issue since? It appears that sales of Sony's handheld are doing surprisingly well. A quick look at last month's
NPD shows that PSP is continuing to gain momentum.

PSP owners are always on the look-out for some deals. Check out this new coupon from GameStop, which will give you a whopping 25% off used game and movie prices at GameStop. (If you have an Edge card, you get 35% off.) We're sure you can find plenty of games for under $20, and whatever UMD movies are still in stock at GameStop will probably be cheaper than toilet paper. All in all, a good deal.
The coupon expires at the end of the month.

You may want to rush over to GameStop. Why? By pre-ordering
Patapon (for only $20, remember!) you will get a free demo disc. What makes this disc so special is that it allows you to create a save file compatible with the final version of the game. Yes, you'll actually get access to a brand new weapon that'll be available in the demo exclusively. The Spear of Protection, we assume, will uh, protect you.
This is an incredible bonus for a game you were going to buy anyway. According to the
PlayStation.blog, the demo discs should arrive to your local retailer in the next week or so. Happy hunting!

Who's actually surprised by this one? The on-again off-again
Gran Turismo Mobile project for PSP has been canceled so many times, we can't keep track anymore. According to
IGN, it looks like retailer Gamestop is finally returning pre-order monies, due to "vendor cancellation." Supposedly, Polyphony wants to work on the PSP
GT, but only when they're done with the massive
Gran Turismo 5 on PS3. Who knows when that'll happen?
Sorry to be such a dream killer, folks.

What would make
Patapon even better? How about a budget price? It looks like SCEA may be trying to woo gamers into taking the plunge with these lovable critters by making the game launch at the
very tasty price of $20. We don't know if this is just a price glitch on Gamestop's part, or if this price is official. We're hoping for the latter -- we know a lot more people will try this innovative game if they see it's available for so cheap.

After previously updating its site with a page for the
rumored PS2 port of the PSP's Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Gamestop has just posted what could be the game's boxart.
Furthermore, Gamestop has a ship date of Feb. 12 for the semi-budget price of $30. While we previously classified this story as a rumor, it's probably fair to say the probability of this former exclusive PSP title being ported to the PS2.
Sure, some PSP owners might be upset that their handheld is losing one of its better exclusive titles, but we're just happy more people will have the opportunity to play this wonderful game.

The mysterious
Elder Scrolls Travels game that was supposedly in development for PSP has been considered
vaporware for quite some time. Now,
Kotaku is reporting that GameStop stores are calling the unfortunate few that pre-ordered the game, telling them that the game is canceled.
This comes as unsurprising news, especially when one considers the incredible lack of news surrounding the title. Although GameStop is saying the game is dead, Bethesda still refuses to comment on the game. "We haven't changed our stance that we are not talking about this title right now," says Pete Hines, V.P. of Marketing and Public Relations at Bethesda.

We love the look of Carbonite. Star Wars geeks will be pleased to see that GameStop's pre-order for the upcoming PSP-exclusive Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron is a Han Solo Carbonite PSP case. Yes, it looks cool, but it has us wondering one thing: will this work on both the old PSP-1000 and the new PSP-2000? It looks like upcoming accessories are going to be a little bit trickier to purchase.

If you're not quite ready to make the jump to the
PSP-2000 or just need a spare system for some "extra curricular" activities, you should know Gamestop is selling used original PSPs for only $100.
This deal doesn't work online, so you'll have to get off the couch and actually go down to the store. You better hurry, though, because this deal expires Sept. 27.

For those of you that have wanted to jump on the PSP-2000 bandwagon, this might be your best chance. EB Games/GameStop are offering an extra $20 of trade-in value when you give them your PSP. The deal expires 9/13, so you'd best get a move on now.

In a recent conference call, GameStop executives
commented about the increased demand for PSP since its price drop
back in April. Sales of Sony's handheld have increased nearly 50 percent from the same time period last year and according to the retailer, "this has caused such demand for the PSP that supply has not caught up."
Expectations for PSP come September are even stronger, thanks to the introduction of new bundles featuring the redesigned PSP-2000. "We expect that will abate in September with introduction of several new PSP SKUs."
As of writing, however, the new PSP-2000 was still not available for pre-order on GameStop's website.
