The god of war psp entertainment pack started sales on June 3rd and the reviews are out:

The Rachet game, the family guy collection and the memory stick only come with the 199.99 bundle. The 169.99 PSP Black Slim does not come with these items.

The new PSP is 19% thinner and 30% lighter. Should definitely notice the difference as soon as its in your hands. Here are the pros and cons

Pros:
+ Video Out to your TV. Watch your UMD movies and Games on your screen. This is the perhaps the best feature of any handheld.
+ Much lighter, feels really good in your hands.
+ The D-Pad has been upgrades. Fighting Game Lovers rejoice!
+ The analog nub also feels more responsive.
+ Buttons are raised making them easier to click.
+ The LCD is brighter, has a higher refresh rate and the colors are more vibrant.
+ UMD games load faster.
+ The memory has been doubled in this unit to allow developers to build caches they can then use to make games load much faster.
+ Even games that dont implement caches, load faster due to an automatic new caching done by the system.
+ Ability to eat less battery life.
+ Daxter Game is included! This is one of the best games for the PSP
+ 1Gig memory stick is included.
+ Family Guy freaking sweet collection UMD included.
+ Price. For $200 you are getting a lot. PSP system, a game, family guy compilation, a new color, and memory stick. All for $30 more than PSP slim black. I would definitely recommend getting the bundle.

Cons:
-Yes the packaging is a bit cheap.
-UMD tray may not impress. It feels cheaper.

Hopefully you guys enjoy this little system. It really is a sexy looking thing and with critically acclaimed titles like crush and Jeanne d’arc and other games like Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, Wipeout Pulse, and God of War over the horizon, you wouldn’t be a true gamer without one. If you like your handheld games at the same quality as your console games then what are you waiting for. pick this up.

Sony confirmed the release of its NFL 09 Entertainment Pack along with the highly anticipated Madden 09 game much to the delight of the sports games fans.

The Madden NFL 09 PSP Entertainment Pack will include a limited-edition “Metallic Blue” PSP system, the highly anticipated Madden NFL 09 game, “NFL: In Just One Play” on UMD Video, a PLAYSTATION Network voucher to download Beats from PLAYSTATION Store, and a 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo.

Sounds a pretty good deal for $199.99 (MSRP).

Supposedly to go on sale only from June 3rd rumours are aplenty that the red version of the PSP (themed for the God of War) is already out on sale at Wal-Mart with people claiming to have bought a few units.

Is Red the new Black?

The Nyko Charger Grip does a good job in improving the PSP ergonomics by mimicking the PS2 controller’s design, and its built-in rechargeable battery provides five hours of extra gaming for your PSP. The only downside is that the construction feels a bit cheap but the ease of clipping it on and the overall comfort it brings to gaming just tips the odds in favour of the Nyko Charger.

The device itself is partially collapsible when not in use, and it’s made of lightweight plastic. That’s good, because it adds little weight to the PSP, but it does feel a tad flimsy. With some finessing, you clip your PSP into the Charger Grip, and in a matter of moments, your PSP will suddenly look and feel a whole lot more like a standard PlayStation 2 controller.
