All the games I want are on PSP, thats PES5, Nba Street and Burnout. I dont think DS have PES5 or Nba Street.

Why is it people think Liberty City is the only game on PSP. I play PES5 in the bus and at lunch time.

the only bad thing about WE9: UE / PES5 is no commentary. after all, it is still a fun game to play

not a chance. you can pick up 360's all over over japan with ease. some shops have even dropped the price to £140 from £180. 360 has flopped in Japan.
