After four games, they finally break the "release it in March" streak. Surprising.

@TonicBH:

I was surprised, too. I saw the game a few weeks back and the producer said it was coming out "holiday of this year." I was shocked. I thought he was mistaken. :D

I was also told that we should see a pre-release demo of the game, which was what they were showing off at E3. *fingers crossed*

That's an awesome bundle except I really don't want the two-toned PSP.. I wish they had a better looking color option with it.

That bundle would be very tempting if i didnt own a psp already.
Oh, and about the game? Still kinda undecided. Im a massive GoW fanboy, but the fifth game in the franchise and still no changes to gameplay or story whatsoever? I dont know. We shall see.

Before the PSPgo people bitch and complain about lack of pre order support, Sony said that if you buy Ghost of Sparta the first week on PSN, you get the goodies.
Whether it's the same for normal PSPs too, I do not know.

I hope the bundle bonuses of free avatars and themes aren't what excite people the most. These virtual bonuses that cost companies 30 cents to make should be zero incentive

Hmm, not really sure on this my self; I mean yeah God of War is great and all and I certainly trust RaD but I'm seriously burnt out on Kratos, there's pretty much nothing to like about him at this point, he's become a caricature.
