Almost a year after the PlayStation Portable was released in Japan, Sony has announced plans to launch a new budget range for the handheld under the label PSP: The Best.
Hit titles will be repackaged and resold at the lower price point of 2800 Yen (just under 20 Euro) - full price PSP games currently retail for around 5040 Yen (24 Euro). The first batch of games will be released on November 17, and will be comprised of Metal Gear Acid, Minna No Golf Portable, Vampire Chronicle, Mojipitan, Ridge Racer, Lumines and Armoured Core Formula Front.
The next wave of titles - Need for Speed Underground, Derby Time, Dokodemo Issho, Poporo Crois Monogatari, Tales of Eternia and Rengoku - will follow on December 1.
Sony launched a similar range, PS2: The Best, nearly three years ago. To qualify for inclusion, each title must have sold at least 100,000 copies. Sony did not disclose whether PSP games must meet the same criteria.

PSP Advance is big news at the moment although the truth is its been around for at least a month in its new form, well one of our members has done a review on PSP Advance, i myself have been too busy to try but here seems an honest review from Sitexec:
<blockquote>Well, i read the hype, so i gave it a try, here are some of my thoughts.
The pspadvance is a lua based player, for tv, music, and a lot of other things. On installing, i noticed that there was a lot of worthless stuff and software included within a simple drag and drop. There were chatroom buttons, needless profiles, and a lot of garbage. Once i let the program install the PSPADV and PSPADV~1 dirs which i coulda done with a zip, i quickly uninstalled their worthless software. Now on to the acctual application.
The setup is as follows, you can try their program, with some occational ads as they say. Heres what i found.
First off, avi/divx/mpeg emulation is no where to be found. The one peice of video they do have which is a linken park video is also a cheat, the video itself contains no sound, there is a mp3 that plays along with it to give you the illusion of sound. So Video player function, basically worthless.
Secondly, MP3 playing is great, except for one amazingly big flaw. Ads pop up every min. If you try to delete the ads, the program will freeze when the ads are supposed to show. The mp3 visuals are good, but the adds kill the program and was the main reason i deleted it.
Third, clicking on their web browser claims their "program", which is acctually a collection of lua scripts, will be avalible on UMD soon. Not sure whether sony would support that, only time will tell.
Finally, their program that installs on your pc is horrible. why do i need a program to make my drag and drop of files easier. It basically ads lack of functionality.
As a 1.5 user, i think this would be a great program, a good web browser(even though all they have is a jpg of a browser) if a few things were changed.
1. Get rid of ads, within 2 songs i was sick of them, they are the same 6 ads, if i dont want it the first time, why would i want it the 10th. It was the main reason i deleted this program. If you want to make money, either make it pay only, even $10 would be a good buy if the next couple things are fixed as well.
2. Acctually get some kind of video working besides a little cheat running 1 avi file. I tried atleast 10 different videos with different bitrates and types and none worked. $10 would be worth a simple strong video player that could play divx/avi/xvid/mpg1/2.
3. Get ride of a bulky install. It placed 3 new icons on my desktop, it had to sync to my psp for no reason. Transferring files with it was a nightmare. Currently, the psp is open, drag and drop files, why they would want to make that MORE complicated, i have no idea.
Currently i would give this a 4 out of 10, it shows good base, but there are a few things glarring that make it basically to annoying to use. If they fix video, get ride of ads and simply make a better program, and get rid of their bulky install, and acctually play video, i would gladly pay 10$-20$ for it, and would rate it atleast a 9 out of 10.
As it stands, its basically an mp3 visualizer with ads. No REAL video or webbrowser implimentation. 4/10</blockquote>

Next week, Advance Theory plans to release the PSPAdvance software, which appears to be a media player, content download system, and community application all-in-one. It also promises to free users from Sony’s format restrictions, as it supports MPG1, MPG2, MPG4, DivX, Xvid, and MOV formats. Advance Theory has even promised that the full version (the demo only runs on 1.50 and below) will run on firmware version 2.50—albeit with ads
Seems that Joystiq linked to the wrong site (who seem to do anything to get visitors) so heres the correct link --> http://www.pspadvance.com/

Sony has announced that PlayStation 3's online function won't feature a central service similar to Xbox Live. Instead it will have an 'open architecture' that allows games publishers to decide how they want gamers to get online with their games.
With Xbox Live, publishers have to work with Microsoft, which is something that prevented EA's Xbox games going online until 2004. It seems a similar service to Xbox Live does not appeal to Sony as its approach focuses on giving flexibility and freedom to individual publishers.
However, it hasn't worked especially well for PlayStation 2's online performance, which is well behind Xbox Live in popularity.

Lik Sang have done a great feature on the new PSP TV Kit by Team Xtender:
While Lik Sang and lots of consumers fail to understand what is supposed to be so hot about a PSP Adapter Kit costing over 100 bucks, two "teams" are still in wartime mode about it. "PSP2TV" and "PSPonTV" give each other trash every day god makes, "east-coast vs. west-coast", gangsta rap style. While all this "let's get personal" trash talkin' is funny only for a short while, what you hardcore gamers really care about is how the product gets installed, when it's available, what's the price point and how good the adapter is. That's exactly what we will get covered in-depth across this hands-on report of the first PSP Adapter Kit, which has just hit our warehouse today, and ships within 24 hours.
First Impressions
Out of the colorful box you get the TV Adapter connector offering both Video outputs and a Dual Shock 2 slot, a flat-circuitry (to fit inside your PSP, see below), three face plates (blue, silver and black), a bunch of screws and screw drivers, AV and S-Video cables, plus, last but not least, a 16-page installation guide with all the step-by-step pictures you need in order to get the job done. The TV Adapter Kit does not come as a Multinorm NTSC/PAL product (as initially announced). It is available in two different models, PAL or NTSC. There is a switch on the back of the adapter to select between 4:3 and 16:9 display ratios (once you got the troublesome installation step performed successfully of course).
 
Installation
The installation procedure is not the hardest we have ever witnessed inside the Lik Sang testing labs, but then again, that is kind of part of the job here. For end users and potential customers out there, it is important reading about the major installation steps that we describe amnd illustrate with pictures hereunder. This is to make sure that you are, first of all, willing do perform such an installation, and, more importantly, that you are capable of taking care of the operation all the way without "screwing up" your beloved Sony PSP, if you'll excuse my French. The modification does not require soldering at all but does require a lot of precision. If your hands are easily shaking or if you are the clumsy type of guy (like me!), just forget about it or find yourself a professional installer in your entourage. There is indeed dismantling of small pieces in a tight handheld system involved, not to omit that you will also have to put every bit back together in the end too. Don't risk it if you are not qualified. If you are an experienced D.I.Y. hobbyist who has had his fair share of playing around with electronics, like many of my Lik Sang teammates for example, you probably have seen worse than that in your life already.

News from Lik Sang
Who knows how many different games have been set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but of them all, Star Wars Battlefront was the #1 best selling title of all time. Now the sequel is here on PSP, and whether you want to fly a TIE Fighter, play as Boba Fett, slaughter Gungans, or just about anything else, this title has it all. Across 13 maps, some of which come from Episode III, the gameplay could be described as similar to EA's Battlefield 2, but set in the rich universe of Star Wars. There's three single player modes, from Instant Action, which is just what handheld owners need sometimes, to Galactic Conquest, the campaign mode which takes place in either the Clone Wars or Galactic Civil War era, or Challenges mode as either an Imperial Enforcer, a Rebel Raider, or a Rogue Assassin.
Imperial Enforcer turns you onto the dark side, sending you to planets like Naboo to massacre the Gungans, or to the Wookies home planet Kashyyyk, and has you come back with ships full of brand new fur coats  Playing as a Rebel Raider is similar to capture the flag, but having you locate fallen comrades, contraband and other goodies, then take it to your check point, and takes place both on land and in space. Finally Rogue Assassin challenges you to locate your target, snipe them, and then get out of there so you live to do it again another day. In addition to regular deathmatch and more, Star Wars Battlefront 2 also supports up to four players cooperatively or competitively over Ad-Hoc wireless. As you'd expect from Star Wars, all the vehicles and famous faces you love are here and playable, and in stock this week, the force is exceedingly strong with this one!

The V1.1 release has a new GPL license included so that sould please any that were concerned over the sources not being released

There are rumours of a PSP Modchip being worked on in the scene but as you should know, until they surface for real it should be regarded as vapourware until the news comes from a valid and respected source (and by that i dont mean sites that want a /. for news/releases that arent theirs etc).
Heres whats been posted on other sites of the features:
"– Full control Input through the psp’s screen and controls
– Separated From The motherboard
– Custom Interface
– Built In 88mhz Processor
– Dual Memory Cores (allowing For expansion)
– Software completely open source
– Completely internal
– Allows play of import UMD films
– Complete override of software on the psp
1.Homebrew Mode Only Allows software to be run off memory stick
2.Normal Mode Allows of chip’s default features and signed code on the memory stick
– CPU Clocking allows speeds of up to 365mhz which may damage the CPU so we don’t recommend it
– And through an optional cable you can connect a USB hard drive to the chip requires you to use the chips own software you can not use it directly with the psp’s firmware
– Full Instructions
– Requires One standard watch battery which will be included in the package"
Some curious claims there and im sure those who are more tech savvy will rip those claims or validate them. Remember that Sony will if real will throw all their legal weight at the company that releases these rumoured modchips for PSP that have a price of $22.99 being floated around.
So until proper confirmation has been released take any news as a pinch of salt, ill be glad to hear what teams like Team Xecuter and others have to say on the matter.
