cvcduty Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I never heard of the Spider man 2 movie and that UMD disc sampler was limited to special packs.It doesnt come with Value packs anymore. Perhaps they'll make one with the global launch, but there aren't any anymore. 585410959[/snapback] The value pack in question is for US launch not global, or UK for your info.

Amnesia Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 yeah that's what I was saying, the UMD sampler's that were originally distributed wont come with a value pack unless they make another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call/email them to check if they're in stock, and if they are then grab one while you can, they're bloody hard to find online! I think they're going for about ?99 inc p&p on mobilefun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hulibecker Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Sony?s PSP hits US stores March 24, Europe has to waitWith all the hype built around Sony?s PlayStation Portable, gadget-geeks and gamers from Europe are looking forward to getting the system. However, sources at Sony confirmed that the launch on March 24 was for the US markets, particularly North America. The company would make an official announcement about the European launch in the coming weeks. Gaming enthusiasts in North America are not sure how many PSPs will be released on March 24. The marketing people have ensured that the product will have a waiting demand. Stores in some parts are even taking deposits as advance against the purchase of the gadget when it arrives. European retailers speculate that Sony may not have the capability to mass produce such a complex electronic device. Some insist that it?s purely a commercial choice ? the US is the second biggest market after Japan for such products. Europe is much behind in demand numbers. Hence Sony probably thought it wiser to concentrate supply in the US, to begin with. Sources at Sony too seem either tight-lipped or ignorant about how many units of the device will be delivered to the market in the US. It is expected that other game-makers like Nintendo will feel threatened by the arrival of Sony?s PSP. A senior staffer from marketing said ?The company did not want the PSP to compete with other handheld gaming devices. That is the reason we positioned it as a portable entertainment device with lots of features. As we did with the PlayStation and PlayStation-2, and before that with the walkman, this time too, we are offering consumers a completely new world, a whole new concept." Jus found this article on Google News (http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show:(508.html) :( Hope they are wrong, but jus thort i'd better share.

Amnesia Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I sent Mobilefun an email and they haven't replied yet.... I basically said, give me an exact date or i'll cancel my order, it would help if everyone else who ordered said that so they dont play us around. I've had experience with them with a transflash card. They said 2 days, every week they would say they needed a couple more days until I finally said, screw it, i dont want it anymore. A month later, i received an email saying that I would be receiving i soon. I said, No i dont want it, I told you to cancel it and I have a confirmation email that I saved if you have any doubt. They didn't reply to me, but they did make sure the order was cancelled (not very professional I should say) I went with them this time just to give them a chance. Hope they wont pull the same stunt.

hulibecker Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 The Sony PSP will be made available through retail outlets in North America on March 24, 2005.........Sony Computer Entertainment Europe sent out an identical release, but then later updated it to push back that region's launch date to "in the Spring." Our sources tell us that Sony plans to ship the system to the U.K. and Europe in late April or early May, and that the cause for the delay is simply so they'll be able to ship enough units to North America during March.
