PSP 3000 Limited Edition Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines Entertainment Pack- White
$199.99
Going by the package images I thought the unit was going to be an "off-white" color but it is in fact pearlescent (opalescent) white and under direct lighting or bright indirect lighting it does "sparkle" as the first reviewer stated though I would hardly consider it "glittery" myself and I think it's a really nice effect.

Under normal indirect lighting conditions it just looks off-white so it's not like it's sparkling all the time unless you happen to like playing under bright lights. This color is available in Japan but it's unique to this package here in the US (unless you import) and I actually much happier with the color of the unit than if it was just a regular white/off-white.


Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines is only a so-so game. Read the reviews if you aren't sure what to expect. The environments in Bloodlines have been trimmed down a lot compared to the original game (which isn't surprising given the limitations of the PSP) so the cities don't feel as "alive" or expansive as in the console game. The controls also suffer because of the lack of a second analog stick on the PSP. Normally in these sorts of 3rd-person 3D games the left analog stick controls your movement and the right analog stick controls your view but on the PSP you have to use the buttons in combination with a trigger button to have full control over your view which is very awkward.

For those that haven't played either of the console games you might actually enjoy the game play on Bloodlines more than somebody who has since you won't have experienced those things that wouldn't fit on the PSP.


The Angels & Demons PSN Voucher code is actually for the DVD-quality version of the movie (720 x 480 resolution, 16:9 anamorphic widescreen) rather than a UMD-quality version (480 x 272) which was a nice surprise. There's no extras though, so it's not like the version you can get on DVD. I downloaded it on my PS3 and am watching it on there which is nice but you can copy it to your PSP if you like. *However* the 2 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo the package comes with is too small to fit the movie as the movie is 2.2 GB in size so you can't download it from PSN on your PSP or watch it on there unless you have a larger Memory Stick to put it on.

I haven't tried using the Music Voucher yet so I can't comment on that part.


Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. I really like the PSP itself. It's not quite as well put together as my old original PSP (Model 1001) but the screen is nicer and the lighter weight and more RAM are nice too. And the Pearl White color definitely gives a subtle (unless you are always using it under bright lights) but unique look to the unit which I really like.

The "value" of the package, however, isn't as good as I originally thought it might be. I probably won't finish Bloodlines as I have a bunch of other games I would rather play first. I bought a Sony 16 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo to go along with this PSP as I wanted to take advantage of the ability now to buy and download games to the MS which was added to PSN to support the PSPgo (I find juggling UMDs a pain and they are slower) so the 2 GB MS isn't much use to me. So really I paid for the PSP and the movie, and the songs if I ever use that voucher, which if you value the Pearl White PSP the same as the regular Piano Black one isn't a good deal but it is one if you consider how much it would cost to buy a Pearl White PSP from an import shop.

If you think you will enjoy the game and can make good use of the 2 GB MS then the package is a very good value.

OK you do know SCEA was at first place with the first Generation playstation 2 now when the big corp level hot shots went from bad to sick. this handy portable is made in China using sub-standard parts. I say. I got my from a delaer where I live. the next think I know it on opening the box for the first time. the darn thing is dead. I taken it to SCEA for service. and SCEA made there choice to kill the service on my brand new PSP. Due to Full cost and defective stickers that is done in China the worlds worst manifactor in computer tech in the world.
The support of SCEA is realy bad. then there is a problem. Normaly these days Things are made to be broken like Hewlett Packard the worlds worst Persional computers and the worlds worst Notebook computers in the world. it comes to no suprise. simply Do nothing and let the warrenty die then demand to keep buying the same thing over and over and over. Fight the consumers on rather then helping out. all for the power of money and power. Well I told them I am no longer SCEA and Hewlett Packard customer any more. even Nintendo and Sega is just as bad. Sega of America did not take care of my defecitve produts. Just keep it and sell it to some other customer. I refuse to may hundreds of dollars to fix one bloody disc. Hewlett Packard also dose the same thing as well. When I question there sick evel service and pay up or get the hell out. Sell my computer to some other customer and have Hewlett Packard make the extra money selling the same product twice at above ful retail price. Why are these corp level is ripping off the consumers?
The games for the PSP Is to total crap. I lost 450.00 from day one on PSP well game systems ,two games and a memory stick. then the sales tax comes extra. efter speding 70.00 on each game and get 5.00 back from selling it used. and all sales are fianl when I asked for the delaer for exhange or refund. The request was kicked out due to the fact of making copies of the Game System is not allowed. I do not shop at Game Stop/Software etc and Best Buy due to this. Copy the game system? who the heck do I do that?
its not a right to for these big hot shots to sell bad products on the market. its noted as black market. Then kill consumer rights is one thing realy rude
rembmer todays business ALL SALES ARE FINAL! NO EXCHANGES AND NO SERVICE ON REPAIRS. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK FOOL IS THE CORP LEVEL GAME NOW. ITS TIME TO PUT THE STOP TO THIS. LETS STOP BUYING CRAP!
CORP LEVEL SECA(SONY),SEGA,NINTENDO,HEWLETT PACKARD AND MICROSOFT. are designed to kill your credit report and finance lost.
I Do have a bad credit report. Due to my doing my shopping with bad brand names products.
I am not allowed to apply for a credit card never the less. its that bad.
I do not want to see that happen to any one else. What had happend to me
