Go!Explore, It Is for the Beautiful People

Up to now, the only occurrences of a platinum blonde wig and a PSP in the same frame could be found in someone's cosplay Photobucket album. Sony probably saw that and, in the interest of portraying the real people who would really use its Go!Explore GPS gadget and service, came up with the above promo shot. Other photos (found by Pocketgamer.co.uk) are on the jump. Wherever the hell this entourage is going, I half expect them to meet the Dos Equis World's Most Interesting Man when they get there.

Two Million Daxters Sold!

It would be safe to call Daxter *the* PSP game. First released in 2006, it's been bundled with the handheld twice: With the Ceramic White unit and the new silver Slim & Lite PSP. Now, developer Ready At Dawn announces that December was one of the game's strongest months and that the game has sold 2 million copies of Daxter worldwide. From Ready At Dawn's website:

Daxter has been an incredible success for us, especially considering it was our very first game as a company.

Congrats!
Over 2 Million Served [Ready At Dawn Studios]

'Play Like a 3 Year Old' - One Take on Game Design Woes

There's a fun and interesting little article over at the Escapist by Wendy Despain, on what she's learned about game design thanks to the opinions of her youngest nephews. Her conclusions after presenting some munchkins with games like Star Wars: Battlefront and Jak and Daxter? Game designers could probably learn something from the bitter disappointments of toddlers when faced with game mechanics and features that most of us just take for granted as, well, what games do: More »

Ready at Dawn's Child's Play Auction

Ru Weerasuriya, Ready at Dawn co-founder, dropped me a line to let me know that his studio has put two eBay auctions up to hlp raise money for Child's Play.

The studio managed to get their hand on one of the last Daxter PSP Entertainment packs around and then had everyone at Ready at Dawn Studios. As if the cool autographed, hard-t0-find PSP weren't enough, the Ready at Dawn folks are throwing in an autographed piece of original production art from the game.

All proceeds go to Child's Play. Hit up the link for the U.S. auction, and check out Ready at Dawn's other auction if you live in Europe.

Uncharted Sequel? Count On It

Naughty Dog's co-president Evan Wells sat down with the gang at ThreeSpeech to chat up the developer's latest creation, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, both parties agreeing that that PlayStation 3 and all things associated with it are awesome. So awesome. But Wells does drop two "no shit?" details on us, that another Jak & Daxter game, built on the Uncharted engine, is "a definite possibility some time in the future." Also quite obvious, another game in the Uncharted franchise. Announce it quickly, so I can finally get off my keister and finish the bloody thing.

Limited Edition PSP2k Hits Today

If you've been holding out for a Playstation Portable 2000 now's the day to hit up your local retailer. The limited-edition Daxter PSP Entertainment Pack just went on sale for $200. The pack includes a "Ice Silver" PSP2K, a copy of Daxter; Family Guy — The Freakin' Sweet Collection on UMD and a 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo.

"PSP sales have soared since we introduced the $169.99 price point in April, and that momentum will only continue with the launch of the newly designed PSP, which has generated strong interest among consumers since we announced it at E3," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. "With our growing software library, which includes more than 140 new releases in the pipeline this fiscal year, the PSP platform is poised for significant growth. The Daxter Entertainment Pack offers a great opportunity for consumers to jump in to PlayStation(R) Portable experience with content that demonstrates the multi-functionality of the system, all for a great value."

SCEA is also rolling out three accessories for the new PSP today:

— Component AV Cable for video out, approximately 8.2 feet long ($19.99 MSRP)
— AV Cable for video out, approximately 8.2 feet long ($19.99 MSRP)
— Headphones with Remote Control ($29.99 MSRP)

If Daxter and Family Guy aren't your thing you should hold off until later this month with the PSP2K goes on sale solo for $170. Or you could wait till next month to grab up he Star Wars Battlefront edition of the new slederized PSP for $200.

If you're too lazy to look for yourself, here's a link to Best Buy.

Want Uncharted for PS3 Launch?

Rule of thumb: Launch titles suck. It's not for a lack of good ideas, but rather, that they are rushed and the hardware is still a big friggin' mystery. Jak & Daxter developer Naughty Dog decided to sit the launch out. Company co-president Evan Wells says:

We specifically didn't want[Uncharted: Drake's Fortune] to be a launch title... We wanted time to really understand the hardware.

According to Wells, that understanding has been aided by fellow Sony developer and "close friend" Insomniac, who created launch title Resistance. That launch game actually turned out okay, but it could've probably benefited from a little more time in the oven. Lesson here: Learn from other's mistakes! More »

God of War PSP A Done Deal?

PSP developer Ready At Dawn lists their "Unannounced PSP Title" in a very conspicuous way. When you visit the page dedicated to their unannounced game, a flood of blood red covers the Daxter banner with the words Coming Soon displayed in a very familiar (God of War) typeface. God of War PSP proof? Nah. But it's just convincing enough. Michael McWhertor More »

Sony'd Hit That

I'm not sure what squirrels having sex with a skunk has to do with Daxter, but Sony managed to work that... motif... into their latest commercial for the Playstation Portables next big thing: Daxter. I think someone at Sony is smoking crack. More »

Get Your Annoying PSP Ads Here

Check out the latest love 'em or hate 'em PSP spots for Daxter and Pursuit Force from Monkmus and Sony Computer Entertainment. Personally, I'm not what you'd call a fan, but I will say they sure are different from anything else we're seeing out there. They aren't pushing "lifestyle" marketing on us, nor are they clogging the ads with rendered footage. More »

Six Sony Titles to Hit PSP by March

Sony's got six new titles heading to the Playstation Portable in the first three months of the year. The only one I'm really psyched about is Pursuit Force. I had heard it was going to hit in Australia while I was there and tried to land a copy, but it got delayed. Now I should be able to get my hands on the North American version in March. Here's the rundown of all six.
