Monster Hunter 2, the hunters have supposedly turned out in high numbers at major stores like the one Biccamera in Shinjuku. It is really heart warming to see that people turn up for games on our beloved handheld the PSP and it certainly shows that "show content will buy" works and $ony better get more quality games than remakes to our system

The firmware is 3.10 on the UMD and i guess we lose a lot many friends who can homebrew presently to make that shift to a firmware not yet downgradable . DARK_ALEX / NOOBZ we look forward to your exploits...

The images of the long winding lines for MH2 are below

Why losing a lot of friends? DAX Custom Firmware 3.10 OE FTW !!!!

The firmware is 3.10 on the UMD and i guess we lose a lot many friends who can homebrew presently to make that shift to a firmware not yet downgradable .

I would assume that the 3.10OE firmware would be capable of playing this game. Will it convince people to leave 3.03OE and its fully customised XMB functionality? Who knows.
