Sony have announced three new budget-priced PSP Dual Packs for $15 each.

Sony confirm simultaneous UMD and PlayStation Network release.

The catch is that you need to register your PSPgo on PSN, then log in to the network with your old PSP while there’s a UMD in its drive.

Ars Technica and their always informative retail mole leaked shipped copies of Patapon 2 would be a download voucher inside a UMD case. Sony later confirmed the rumor explaining the $20 retail game will also be available on the PlayStation Store on the same date for $15.   Last fall, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan introduced [...]

Other PlayStation branches are done localizing Patapon 2. Sony Computer Entertainment America may not be quite there yet, but Patapon 2 is marching forward. These screens have a bare amount of English text so we know SCEA is actively working on it.   When will Patapon 2 be ready? Don’t know. Sony hasn’t said when [...]

The loveable Patapon are getting 100% more huggable thanks to Medicom Toy, the company that makes Kubrick collectibles. Sometime later this month Rolito’s creation is going to be sold as a plush doll in Japan for 3,990 yen ($42) each. At that price the stuffed Patapon isn’t really a stocking stuffer since you can purchase [...]

The Patapon are at war again and need God’s drum beats to march to victory. After Haripon’s ship crashes he awakens to your rhythm after and sets out to find survivors. If this sounds a lot like Patapon you’re right. Sony didn’t deviate much from the formula of the first game. Instead they expanded upon [...]

Sitting on the Japan’s PlayStation Store and just waiting to be downloaded is a Patpon 2: Don Chaka demo. The single player trial campaign has three stages where players retrieve a wonder egg. Just like Patapon you move an army of walking eyeballs by making a beat with the face buttons. New to Patapon 2 [...]

Speaking of bundles, Sony has three PSP-3000 packages scheduled to come out in Japan. The Patapon 2 Winter Gift pack is the only one directly from Sony and it’s bland. A plain PSP-3000 and Patapon 2 will set you back 23,800 yen ($238). A limited edition Gundam X Gundam Premium Pack is priced at 24,840 [...]

During the press event where Sony presented the PSP-3000′s brighter screen to Japan a few more details about Patpon 2: Don Chaka trickled out. G-Para caught a handy dandy slide comparing the volume of content in the two games.   In typical sequel fashion Patapon 2 has more, way more of everything than the first [...]

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan just announced a trio of PSP-3000 bundles and inadvertently announced release dates for their key PSP games this holiday season. Dissidia: Final Fantasy is scheduled to be in stores on December 18, a few weeks after Patapon 2 Don Chaka sees a release on November 27. Similar to Bleach: Soul Carnival, [...]

For the younger crowd Sony is selling a Ratchet & Clank PSP bundle pack with a 1GB memory stick, National Treasure, Echochrome, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and a slim silver PSP for $199. Sony Bend is developing Resistance: Retribution, a newly announced game. Super Stardust Portable, Patapon 2, Valkyria Chronicles, and LocoRoco 2 were [...]

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan put up webpages for LocoRoco 2 and Patapon 2 confirming both games will get sequels. These respective predecessors to both of these projects were among the most creative games developed by Sony’s Japan studio. In the case of LocoRoco, it looks like we’re getting more of the same game. I have [...]

I picked up Patapon on day one because I liked the demo so much. It was the first demo that I played through twice.  Since the game picks up where the demo left off, I didn't feel any need to read the instruction manual or even pay attention to what the pons where telling me.  [...]
