Created by Sony Computer Entertainment, comes PSP Gretzky NHL 2006. This latest version was created for the Playstation Portable handheld gaming system from Sony, commonly known as the PSP.

Game Description: NHL hockey has given fans enough thrills, chills and memories to last a lifetime. From legendary Game 7 Stanley Cup Finals to a group of college kids winning the Olympic gold medal in 1980, NHL hockey has thrived due to the sport's core components: teamwork, speed and strength. These same comonents are the foundation of PSP Gretzky NHL 2006, a game designed by hockey players and fans driven to deliver a hockey simulation that mimics the core values of the game while remaining fun and accessible to all.

Features:

  • Exclusive Wayne Gretzky License - The ONLY Sony PSP hockey videogame available that includes Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time. Plug up to four different versions of the Great One into your roster as you pursue the Stanley Cup. Attempt to shatter one of #99's multiple NHL records, or, if you dare, face off against the Great One himself.
  • Wayne vs. Wayne Mode - A new mode of play with an arcade-style twist and intense fast-paced action. Earn "99 Time" to activate Gretzky for a maximum of 99 seconds and go six-on-five against your suddenly overmatched opponent. With Gretzky on your line expect to dominate the action with thunderous shots, crushing hits and immaculate passing.
  • Team Chemistry - A new, unique way to manage your roster. Great team play rather than individual play is what leads to success. Players will be rewarded with attribute bonuses for sharing the puck, playing great "D" and lighting the lamp. The better the guys play as a team, the better the team will play.
  • All-New Franchise Mode - Assume control of all on and off ice decisions that go into making a successful NHL franchise. Hire a coaching staff, sign free agents, make trades, set ticket and concession prices and draft the stars of tomorrow to build the ultimate hockey powerhouse.
  • AHL Licensed - Play in any mode as or against all 30 AHL clubs in the actual arenas with all of the top AHL players.

Get Rich or Die Tryin' movie for Sony PSP, starring 50 Cent

Paramount Pictures Designs First Film Site for PSP Geared to Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson's 'Get Rich or Die Tryin''

(Press from PRNEWSWIRE) October 9, 2005 -- Paramount Pictures Interactive Marketing has built the first movie web site specifically for PlayStationPortable (PSP), it was announced today by Amy Powell, vice president of Interactive Marketing for Paramount Pictures. PSP users who have downloaded the PSP 2.0 operating system will be able to surf wirelessly to http://www.50psp.com/ and access the PSP-exclusive site for "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," starring Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and directed by six-time Academy Award(R) nominee Jim Sheridan.

Built specifically to take advantage of PSP's aspect ratio and surfing capabilities, the site will contain trailers, wallpapers, webisodes, and photos that PSP users can download directly to their PSP devices.

Commenting on the announcement, Powell said, "We're thrilled to have built the first movie-related PSP-specific site -- it's just one example of how we're always looking for new ways to reach online moviegoers. As we move into a mobile world, it's important to be aware of the ways advances in technology affect information access. In addition, 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'' is a perfect match for the first PSP-exclusive movie site; the PSP is huge in the hip-hop community and 50's fans are avid PSP users."

Prior to the "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" PSP site, PSP users who wanted to play movie trailers would first download the trailer to their desktops, then transfer the file to the handheld device. With the release of PSP's OS 2.0, users can now browse the internet with the device, downloading information directly to the PSP. With the introduction of http://www.50psp.com/ Paramount Pictures introduces the first film site designed specifically for the device.

Sony has sold upwards of six million PSP units worldwide with an expected total unit sales of 12 million by the end of 2005, a rate which has already far outpaced the introduction of the iPod. A recent report from Sony also indicated that an anticipated $250 million of UMD movies will be sold by year-end, making the PSP the fastest growing multi-media platform ever, beating the first year numbers during the launch of both the iPod and the DVD player combined.

The main site for the film is http://www.getrichordietryinmovie.com/. The film opens in theaters on November 9.

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, one of the biggest and most popular stars in hip-hop, is the charismatic driving force behind "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," a hard-hitting drama directed by six-time Oscar(R) nominee Jim Sheridan about an orphaned street kid who makes his mark in the drug trade but finally dares to leave the violence behind and become the rap artist he was meant to be.

Paramount Pictures presents an Interscope/Shady/Aftermath and MTV Films production of a Jim Sheridan film starring Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. Directed by Jim Sheridan from a screenplay written by Terence Winter, the film is produced by Jimmy Iovine, Paul Rosenberg, Chris Lighty, and Jim Sheridan. The executive producers are Gene Kirkwood, Stuart Parr, Van Toffler, David Gale, Arthur Lappin and Daniel Lupi. Paramount Pictures is part of the entertainment operations of Viacom, Inc., one of the world's largest entertainment and media companies and a leader in the production, promotion and distribution of entertainment, news, sports and music.
