Pre-ordered:
2 PSP Value Packages (from 2 different Blockbuster/GameRush stores)
Lumines
Metal Gear Acid

What else would you guys recommend to pre-order? I want racing game too but may wait for the GT4 mobile instead. |

Yay. Somebody else preordered Metal Gear Acid.
Personally, racing-wise, I thought Wipeout looked groovy. I'm getting that next if I can conjure up the money.
FYI, I have the following preordered: Darkstalkers, Dynasty Warriors, Metal Gear Acid, Rengoku, and Untold Legends.

Chef - Gamestop said they are expecting small amounts of PSP games to come in at atime. Probably should preorder it. MGA is only $40 at Gamestop. |

I think I'm going to pass on getting one at launch after all, only because I'm working on saving up for a new computer. I didn't anticipate so many good games coming out this early in the year(GT4, DMC3, XS2, Ys, SFA, etc), so I've already spent way too much of what I had saved.

I was really hyped about getting a psp about a month ago but it just died away recently. I spent the preorder money I had on it on World of Warcraft and a 60 day gamecard. Too bad I can't play wow for like a month when I get my new computer, I just want to play it so bad, that I caved in and bought it in advance.

Was considering getting a PSP, but $250 is too much for the system ($400 for the EB bundle!) and $40-$50 is too much for the games, IMO. Plus, I want to at least wait until the second shipment just in case they have the same problems as the first shipment did in Japan.

I imagine they are taking 3rd shipment preorders.
Ours was on 2nd shipment not long ago. |

I'm interested in the GTA game
will it be in 3D? or will it be a fancy 2D?
If the game is anything like the ones on the PS2 it will be GREAT. Being able to play a game like that while you are on the road or bored somewhere (*cough my job *cough) would be fabulous |

yeah that was my original plan but when I went to the electronics boutique a couple days ago, I saw it on the shelves and I couldn't resist, even knowing that I wouldn't be able to play it for a month or two.

I may end up doing that myself. We only ever have one copy on the shelf at a time at my walmart, so I may just give in and pick it up to ensure I'll have it ready.

I do that too easily, hence the reason I have about three dozen unfinished games sitting on my shelves.

It would take a miracle for me to get to 3 dozen unfinished games.
I think I may also give into temptation too easily

Three dozen may be an understatement. The only games I can recall finishing in the past 18 months are MGS3 and KH:CoM(mostly because I played it on my breaks at work).

Thankfully, WoW never ends, so I don't feel bad about my 1,000+ hours spent on it already .
As for my console stuff, we'll not go there .
