Our theme for March seems to have been - how to get a free PSP!

So we decided to end the month on a high note - and tell you about the easiest PSP contest yet! The main prize is a Sony PSP and PSP copies of CID The Dummy for three runners up.

All you have to do is answer the question:

“Which CID The Dummy character kidnaps Mia, the professor’s daughter?”

- and register to become a member of boomtown ……. and, oh yeah - and live in the UK. You can find out more about the contest at boomtown

As a consolation to US and Japanese PSP lovers, however, Sony recently announced that on April 5 - less than a week away - ten of its greatest hist will be on sale for a mere $19.95. The list includes: Mortal Kombat: Unchained, Patapon, SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Tactical Strike,
Sonic Rivals 2, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Yellow Avenger, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter 2, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas. Not free - but if you have wanted to own the game from new - then here is your chance!

For the rest of us, there is the report over the weekend that Sony Computer Entertainment is on the verge of a making some dramatic global announcement! This is suposed to happen tomorrow (Tuesday March 31st) ant there is wide speculation that it might be a big price drop or maybe a new browser (which would be great if its for the PSP) or some other online revolution. So watch for it.

Ironically, we missed this cool “win a PSP” sweepstake in our recent post (which listed a number of current competitions being run with a PSP as the prize) :

Its simple to enter the contest. Just visit www.us.playstation.com/GetLoco between February 10, 2009 at 12:00 am PST and March 17, 2009 at 11:59 pm PST, and complete the sweepstakes entry form.

All that is required is for you provide your contact details! Now you can enter more than once - but only one per day.

You can also win the recently released PSP game, Loco Roco 2 - and all the other items shown in the above image (hmmm, no - not the phone!). So its worth taking the few moments it takes to enter.

Let us know if you win - and c’mon - tell your friends so that have a chance of winning too (just click “share” below)!

Every now and then we take a look around the net to see what legitimate offers for free PSP console or games are on offer. There are some good ones on offer around the planet. Check them out:

1)In the US, Little Caesars pizza chain and Pepsi have a Playstation contest going till April 27th, 2009. In order to enter, you have go to a US Little Caesars restaurant and get a “Buzz in to Win” scratch-off card after purchasing a “Hot-N-Ready” pizza with “any Pepsi beverage.” So you do have to pay to enter this contest! BUT if you were planning on eating Pizza anyway, this is a real bonus!

2) Sony is also running an interesting contest in Europe as a follow up to their World In Your Hands promotion. This promotion is open to people aged 14 years or over that reside in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom.

3) Rhino Shoes in the UK (again!) have a “win a PSP Slim & Lite” contest. All you have to do is proivide your email and contact details. Although the contest is featured on the front page, the contest rules are not easily found (in fact we searched off site to find the link)

So do check out the rules before you enter the contest. The next draw will be on 29th May 2009.

4) nzgamer has two prize packs consisting of a copy of Dawn of War II, a Dawn of War II themed T-Shirt and codes to unlock special content up for grabs!

In our previous post, we included an image of a modded PSP. Now, there are LOTS of ways to mod a PSP - this is just one of them (see image to the left). Did you notice the image and wonder “what the..??”

This has become one of the classic mods. Since our last post we have had a lot of queries about it - so we decided to post a video that shows how its done:

If you decide to give this mod a go, let us know how you went with it in the comments section below.

Been wanting to watch YouTube and other videos on your PSP? Well this just released PSP homebrew allows us to do just that and its FREE!

This homebrew is a big improvement over the previous version - its faster, easier to use and includes more video sites (the video sites you can watch include YouTube and Google Videos - which is great because that means you will be able to watch the upcoming videos of PSP Girl from your PSP!)

If you would like to know just how homebrews are made, then follow this forum thread and be awed by the unfolding development of Ultimate PSPTube (even to the name!). Creative drive, frequent helpful suggestions for improvements, plus passionate support and enthusiasm all go into the mix, as the following comment highlights this:

This is the best homebrew I’ve ever tried (the vids load very fast and you don’t wait while you watch it. lol (terrawar)

The developer, “JK108″ makes it clear that the “readme” is a must read. You can do that by following the link he provides to readeMe

And, you can download the PSP homebrew - Ultimate PSPTube 1.2 here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=4…280f6d5c658cbf or download one of the attachments:

Just a quick post to pass on a tip supplied to us by a UK fan for how to get free PSP games for 3 months (if you live in the UK ). We did a post recently on how to get free PSP games for 30 days - but this is a much better deal.

Tom Clancy’s EndWar (release date)

According to our informant, if you plug in this promotion code, you will be able to get free use of all PSP games for 90 days ( 3 months!) from LoveFilm. You have to put this code in on the sign up page. And you have to select the plan that includes games. You can read the discussion about it here

The 90 day free trial code is VPSUM811

Microsoft set up the Zune Mansion in Houston last week to host performers celebrating 2008 Latin Emmy Awards, and to showcase its latest “Zodiac Designs” developed by artists Catalina Estrada and Iosefatu Sua for Zune. The following image shows Latin singer, Fonseca, in front of one of Catalina Estrada’s Zune-Zodiac designs in the Houston Zune mansion:

Sony - now movie making maestros - have just released the latest Bond movie,

And Apple (the design masters) have even got Disney Cartoonists developing Games for iPhone (in this case, Rhinoball).

Not to be out done, artists are being called on to design skins for handhelds - including for PSP. Gelskin, for example, has some 80 artists on their payrollthat have produced an amazing variety of designs.

Not being artists nor historians, none of the Bitfood team could stump up a reason for the marriage between these huge companies and artists. Admittedly, games do require artists for their presentation, so the association is not completely bizzare. But still…

Not a deep issue, perhaps, just a puzzle. And, after all, the results are delightful to view - especially when they also offer free wallpapers! Check out this free wallpaper for PSP by Yoko d’Holbachie (click image to download):

Live in the UK? Then you are eligible to grab this hot deal! This is a crazy special offer that allows you to get all the free PSP games you want for a whole THIRTY days!

Want to know what games to put on your Christmas list? - here is your chance to try them all out. LoveFilm in the UK have introduced a 30 free trial period - so we suggest that all you UK PSP lovers take advantage.

Now, you have to sign up for a plan - but one thing I know about you Brits is that you are smart and shrewd. So here is how we suggest you tackle this.

1) Sign up for the top plan. That will mean you can trial three games at a time. That way you can trial a heap of games before the 30 days are up! That will also mean you test their system to the max. And if they handle this test, they may be worth hanging on to. After all they have over 300 PSP games to choose from. This is how the system works:

Now, IF their system works as well as this diagram makes out, then its a great system - BUT…

2) If you just want 30 days of free games then make sure you CANCEL your membership at the end of the 30 days. The free trial is a fantastic way to test run a heap of games you always wanted to check out. LoveFilm also have many of the latest releases. BUT, you will lose this benefit -a free trial - if you forget to cancel! Cos then you will start getting charged. So be warned.

LoveFilm have recently released PSP games for you to trial as well.
