Can’t wait for it. Tho I just picked up the Dissidia PSP, it doesn’t hurt to have another PSP. Unrelated news, I went to best buy yesterday and I found GT PSP on a shelf next to the Ps3 games. I thought nothing of it, maybe they just released it a couple of days early or something. So I picked it up brought it home and found out that the date was still 10/01/09. I love stupid people XD
