Last week Spencer mentioned Echochrome was arriving on the PSP on March 19. Now he can confirm it will arrive on the PlayStation Store as a downloadable PS3 game on the same day. The price has not been announced, but if Sony is selling the PSP version for 3,990 yen ($36) it will probably fall in the $25-$30 price range. Details are also hazy if the PSP release contains the same puzzles as the PlayStation 3 version or if you can play the PS3 release on the PSP via Remote Play. That would be an awesome idea and we'll find out soon when Echochrome arrives in Japan.

Russ tells of console sales and other RPG deals as he begins, "September may have a lot of games coming out for it, so it is a good thing the prices of the 360 and PS3 dropped. Plus you still might be able to grab a decent computer during the back to school sales. Gaming triple play ahoy!"

Oblivion was unveiled for PSP a good year or so ago but it's been a long time since we've heard anything about it. To be honest, we thought it'd been whacked a long time ago. And chances are it probably has. But that hasn't stopped a potential release date popping up on good old Amazon.com.
