I am really not happy with those Premium Packs... I'll probably end up getting the Konamistyle one, and that's just because I wanted a Japanese PSP as well. And that is just for UMD Video (a very sad reason, I know).

They are indeed marketing this to the Metal Gear fan that didn't have a PSP and regards this as the perfect excuse for one, but I feel like they are trying to get all the money the can with that dual Premium Pack release.

I posted it to the news page, with links to sites where you can preorder if you have cash to spare...

Yeah it's all about that green, I think it all looks really oh so cheesy in a ways (the design. In fact I hate it alot.). I'm in a mixed decision to also get this pack (at the expense of also needing to get around to having a Jap PSP), but I'm gonna wait till I find out about firmware specifics though.

Hate to just repeat what's said above but you're right, it's really shameful to release two premium packages. I'm glad I've stopped collecting all this stuff, they're taking the piss now. Simple as.

For sure it is going to have the latest firmware, so you'll have to wait until that is hacked in some way if what you want is downgrade it for emulation.

Otherwise, you'll only have the usual limitation.. and that is only regarding UMD Video, you'll only be able to play Region 2 ones.

And real snakeskin, too? Come on. You can't even bring snakeskin into certain countries with your luggage. I vote for a humanskin version as well.

Oy I figured, and price I think for the greater pack would be highly of un-reasonable bound. I might be going after more those neat limited edition protective casting shells that EB Games & Gamestop is going to be offering for the PSP "pre-order" special.

I'd rather have a TTS GameCube, tbh.
