The number-placement puzzle that has become a worldwide craze, is now gracing PSP screens with the new title Sudoku from Hudson Soft. Also known as Nampure, Sudoku is the Japanese abbreviation of the phrase, "Suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru" which can be losely translated as "the digits must remain single".
Sudoku is played over a 9x9 grid, which is divided into 3x3 sub-grids called "regions", and your aim is to fill the empty cells with single digit numbers between 1 to 9. Players must bear in mind that this number must only appear once in a row, column and a region. Sudoku uses numbers and logic, but not mathematics which is why it has been such a popular game. Some studies even show that playing Sudoku can improve memory and mind clarity. There is still no information if there will be a US release, but we will keep our eyes peeled for you. In the meantime, here are the screenshots that we have promised.

You don't have to buy it, but many that don't embrace homebrew (still the vast majority of owners) don't want the hassle of having to downgrade their firmwares, or using exploits to get little homebrew games.
If any criticism can be made it's that what serves as a minor mini-game in Brain Age is a full-fledged title for the PSP, but, much like that game, this is definitely going to a budget title.
Secondly, wtf? You think that they're copying the homebrew developers!? Jesus, get over yourself.
Homebrew is more often than not the very epitomy of plagiarism. Very few games are not direct ports of other emulators/games, and the few original titles mostly rip off other characters and games, usually so that their homebrew they've created isn't lost amongst the unenjoyable, boring homebrew that takes up well over half of all available.
Homebrew ready PSPs are a far better pieces of kit than the 2.81s and probably even the DS (I prefer mine), but please be less blindly ignorant of how the game companies work, and how easily homebrew is abused and can never truly be condoned by a company in Sony's position.

I'll just tell you to re-read what I said. Pay attention to the bits about Sudoku being a budget title and homebrew not being that user-friendly (especially when having to downgrade).
I can't point you to the bit where I said I'd buy it, because I didn't.
You know nothing about the economics of the game industry, so just boot up your 1.5 PSP and no doubt a few ISO loaders as you dislike paying Sony so much. Maybe sort out your grammar whilst you're at it.

Also add that you gotta be pretty ignorant of homebrew yourself (Devhook, in particular) if you think that even if I did buy Sudoku, I'd have to upgrade. Dumbass.
