Ok, so I just spent $250 on my PSP, which by the way is the most incredible piece of technoloigy I’ve seen for a couple of years, and what am I getting excited about? Running old arcade games on my PSP.

So the new games are incredible, but you just can’t beat the simplicity of the old classics. Released this month is Namco Battle Collection, which includes Dig Dug, Galaxian, Galaga, Pac Man, Ms Pac Man as well as a few more, and some remakes of the same games.

If that wasn’t good enough, then coming in November is Midway Arcade Treasures: Ultimate Classics, which includes such awesome old classics (20 in total) like Spy Hunter, Paperboy, Joust, Marble Madness, Rampage, Gauntley. Wow, now I know what I’m going to be doing in November 🙂

EBGames have already started taking orders for the XBox360, even though its not due until November time.

The store is offering two bundles:

• The ‘Utimate’ bundle: based on the premium package (which is to retail at $399 and include the 20GB hard drive), and includes 4 games and an additional wireless controller
• The ‘Core’ bundle: based on the core system (which is to retail for $299), which includes 4 games an an additional wired controlller.

The initial launch prices seem pretty high, but we haven’t seen the launch prices for the PS3 yet, which may be even higher according to rumors.

Incidentally, I just posted this wirelessly from my PSP Web Browser (the first paragraph anyway 🙂
