COOL! patches on the psp. This means devs won't take more time to polish their stuff, and memory sticks will be filled up far more than usual.

If you have a PSP Go!

Why are Go users fucked? We have SD card slots along with internal memory space you know, right?

Yeah, no shit. Patches for handheld games now...fan-fuckin-tastic.

It's gotten so when I pop in a new 360 or PS3 game I clench my teeth in anticipation of the inevitable "Update Found!" message to appear.

Back to cartridges!

If only 5th Cell would crawl out from under their mountain of money and patch Scribblenauts with some decent controls. I don't like developers who rely on patches, but sometimes they are direly needed all the same.

And LittleBigPlanet is a platform that lives on patches, so this is not surprising.

Well I guess I can expect to see people playing this on their Go's in the Gamestop line come Black Friday.

I've seen Gamestop's ad for Black Friday and its 99% garbage, so I'll be playing it at home while checking up occasionally on Amazon's hot-ass sales.

I like to sit while I save :)

I completely agree and I'm actually not going to be purchasing anything. I'm going with a friend and he's going to be purchasing the PS3 bundle w/LBP and GOW 1&2. Shall be sweet as we're having a Mario Kart and Magic tourney w/mexican hot chocolate and pan dulce!

I'm annoyed that they allow patches - it just encourages sloppy programming and games being released too soon.

but it also allows messed up games to be fixed easily. i'd rather have a game come out partially unfinished and be patched later than have a game come out partially unfinished and stay that way.

Agree with Sly. I hope it just doesn't turn into- "Let's just use another 1.2 gbs of the persons memory card to guarantee their product works."

if developers waited until they were 100% sure they were absolutely no glitches, then we would be waiting a fuck long time for games, way longer than we wait now.

there's no way to way to make sure you don't have any glitches at all. you'll ALWAYS miss some. especially with games that have online. if they did that, then we would never get new games.

man, i have to say, since picking my psp back up after not playing it for over a year, i can't believe i stopped playing it.

so many good games out, and it's even better that i had a launch PSP so i could get the cfw, although i did have to make a pandora battery =/.

good shit.

You coulda just used chickHEN and cfw GEN-D2 instead of going through the trouble of making a pandora battery

FYI: In most cases, developers don't decide when a game is released. The executives at the publishing company do (based on where they need a game to land in their fiscal years).

I'm all for the ability to patch PSP games, as long as they're utilized.

I would bet that the "patch" will break the game for all of you CFW users out there. I'd let someone else be the guinea pig if I were you.

But the real question is, when is that sweet looking water pack coming to the PS3 LBP.

Been playing LBP PSP all week now and it's awesome, except it has crashed my PSP on me when connecting to the internet a few times. Screen goes blank and I hear a sackboy crying somewhere.

Also still trying to find a single reason a gamer would buy a PSP GO. No luck yet. All the internal memory in the world can't help you when 3 year old games are still $20 on PSN when they're in the $5 bargain bin at Best Buy.

Dear developers relying on patches, and launch DLC,

Fuck you.
