WTF

Majin & The Forsaken Kingdom, Dead Space 2, LBP2 -Story Mode aced, collected all shit etc, Sly Trilogy, Stacking, Game Dev Story (Man this is one game I really wish they didn't do a new game plus - for an obsessive collective it made new game plus far too easy), Mario's anniversary collection Birth By Sleep that's all I can recall right now. On the verge of finishing several titles soon though (I hope).

I love most kinds of coffee but generally like what's known as 'South Indian Filter Coffee'. It's basically a coffee (80%) and chicory (20%) mix that's more potent than your average Drip Coffee and it's preparation is done in steel tumblers (yeah it gets hot, but hey they do the 1 mile tea/chai there as well). The coffee used there is usually an Arabica Robusta blend and one of the more popular brands that you could probably find in an 'ethnic' store would be Bru. It's pretty good and has a better after-taste. As a preference I do like more Arabica stronger blends. I wish I still knew my Roastmaster acquaintance. I'm not particularly fond of most cafes in London. When it comes totea it really really depends on where it comes from. The taste of the soil is much more evident in tea than in coffee. I like Nilgiri tea (mostly due to upbringing and location proximity at one point) and Darjeeling tea if it's the real deal (Roughly one out of four so-called Darjeeling teas isn't the real thing. Exports are greater than produce so there's definitely lots of fishiness in that business).

I'm of the opinion that they'll price it lower, though recent Shuhei comments of having the PSP exist alongside the NGP probably means it'll be priced above that for sure. My reasoning is that if it is easier to develop on the device and it does seem to have a better turnaround, dev costs would definitely be lower. We know that apps sell on itunes for a profit. The more expensive titles are usually titles by Square at £12 while most console pubs tend to price their games between 1.59 and 5.99. If dev costs are similar the whole sale price before markup will include a profit and even selling games at the current RRP/MSRP of PSP games would mean there's a good chunk of profits there. There's been more than rumours that gamestop have some sort of NDA in place with Sony about the NGP/PSP2/whatever it may be called. (Though I believe that's mostly for retail exclusive dlcs which would be included in the cart when you buy them (eliminating the need to download them)). So if PSP titles are sold at the current price they could take a hit on hardware profits while making it through software cuts for the initial period (before it gets pirated/hacked like every gadget/device gets these days). I believe they could be gambling on the fact that by the time that happens the component costs would go down that they could effectively make a profit out of the device itself. This also gives them a slight advantage over the 3DS as the games on the 3DS cost a little more than their DS counterparts. So even if the device is sold at a slightly higher markup, they can say their media are cheaper and thus it works out better for the customer in the long term. Just a thought really.

Hi, I'm WhatTheFrag on Kotaku (had a myriad of ids before that, I forgot most of them). I think I signed up for the old boards as NotTheFace too. Recently turned 30. Work as a DoP/AP/AD quite a lot amongst other things. I'm sure I know some of you from the place of K and some of you might know me or not. If ever my wordy long posts or replies took too much of your time I apologise. But at least I hope I'm coherent. P.S. I forgot to sign up for this place, despite getting the email about the forum moving. H_H reminded me of this place the other day on TAY.
