If you weren't able to make the trip to Japan for the Tokyo Game Show this year, don't fret -- not only do we have you covered on the hot news scoop front, but IGN managed to snag a downloadable copy of the co-op enabled, TGS-exclusive (well, formerly TGS-exclusive, we guess) Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker demo for the PSP. Just make sure you've got the latest firmware, download the file from the acronymed gaming news site, unzip it and place it in your PSP's "Game" folder, and enjoy.
If, while enjoying, you also happen to kick ass, you might even get a high enough ranking to unlock a special wallpaper for your Sony handheld. Finally, we have incentive to do something other than make cardboard box fortresses.

Did you hack it, or are you just unable to upgrade?

Its cool. I didn't understand anything, since its all in Japanese. when you get to the actual gameplay, man. This game is the biggest reason why we need a 2nd nub.

As far as I know they already had their keynote. Not sure if they have a conference in addition to the keynote, though.

YouTube!
Photo Mode: Photo Drive, Photo Stage
GT TV: Improved UI, export of videos to PSP, and progressive downloading.
I'm loving the cross-compatibility with the PSP version.
The private rooms were one of the most requested features.
Kazunori is saying it's the most significant advance in photo mode in years.
GT5 Sounds so freaking awesome.. March 2010 for japan they didnt mention a worldwide release or have they ?

Stupid requiring an update >< I will not give up my custom firmware, even for something as awesome as this. I'll wait till either they hack this firmware or the game comes out (at which time the firmware version should have been long hacked)...not that I could play it anyway since the screen on my psp just friggin' DIED. *sigh*

Just played it, the game is different than the previous PSP MGS titles. Everything in the game is cool but I didn`t like the idea of rotating the camera with the buttons, I guess they had their excuse, the PSP has only one analog .. Gonna get this game for sure though.

you need to extract the folder contained in the rar file, and put it
into your GAME folder inside your PSP
(the folder contains two files, a .DAT and an EBOOT.PBP)
