GPS and your PSP: Minna no Golf Jo to help your game |
Ó
Even though a lot of you folks might not have the GPS accessory for Sony's PlayStation Portable, that doesn't mean that titles that support the device won't come out. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.'s upcoming Minna no Golf Jo, is set to be the fifth game that has support for the GPS accessory.
The other four GPS titles are: Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, MAPLUS Portable Navi, Minna no Chizu 2, and Homestar Portable.
While the existence of Minna no Golf Jo isn't entirely new, what is news here is that the game's official site just opened the other day, and consequently, we can now give you folks a few more details regarding the game.
PSP-Vault informs that the game is supposedly to be more than just a game, and its set to be "Entertainment Golf Tool," which means that you can take your PSP to a golf course and you can use it to help your golf game. Actual golf course data, from all kinds of golf courses in Japan can be accessed and used in conjunction with the PSP's GPS functionality to tell you exactly where you are in the golf course.
Pardon the star-trek reference, but it's sorta like a golfing tricorder ... sorta. Really useful for golfing beginners.
However, devices like these aren't exactly new - there's that StarCaddy after all. Still, it's hot and we now wonder why Sony didn't jump at the idea of releasing Everybody's Golf Course (the English translation of the title) in North America. It'll certainly shut-up critics that say that the PSP only has bad ports of old concepts.

Cool
sony needs to send the camera and GPS to the US.We never get anything good from sony.
Sounds really dumb to me. Yet another dumb attemp for sony to try and sell more psp's.
Anyone want to buy a 3.03 oe psp?
that seems so fun
i got the gps work perfect with mapthis and metal gear ops
its very cool and the chotto shot to!!
now im waiting for skype to show up on the psp :)
yo how much for the oe 3.03 psp?
$500
comes with over 20 games on umds
never mind, I'll sell you it for $120. i just realized that I could sell the UMDs separately, and save you a lot of money. Besides, since you could just get the isos for free, I think the $120 should be fair. Let me know if the 120 is too expensive. If it is, I'll take off another $50. Man, i am such an evilscarycomput ergeek....
i cant find it any were someone tell me

I run the StarCaddy product and would love to talk to someone at Sony responsible for the PSP. We could offer them 7,000 US maps for use with their application. If you know someone, please have them comtact us at support@StarCad dy.com.
Thanks.
