Probably the best PSP bundle we've seen. Two games + a movie + memory stick. The pre-order bundle isn't anything to scoff at either.

Yeah really good package but they still make UMD movies?

I'm not really that hyped about this game, getting bored of these types now.

The movie may just be a pack-in only type of thing, I hardly see UMD movies nowadays. People can just buy a DVD, rip it, convert it, and there ya go, movie on your PSP. Provided you have a big enough memory stick.

Haven't played a whole lot of God of War type of games myself. I've played a bit of DMC3 but that thing is tough as balls, I bought the first DMC a while ago but haven't tried it yet. Beat Chains of Olympus and played Dante's Inferno but still haven't bought the first and second GoW. So it's not something I'm terribly tired of yet, but it does get tiring after a while, just hacking and slashing.
