The PlayStation Portable 3000 Limited Edition Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines Entertainment Pack brings together the latest hardware revision of the PlayStation Portable (PSP), with action, adventure, ancient intrigue and overall digital entertainment like you never thought possible. The Bundle includes a "Pearl White" PSP-3000 system, a copy of Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines in UMD format, a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, an "Angels & Demons" PlayStation Store downloadable movie voucher* and a Sony Music Voucher for 10 downloadable songs.**
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines on PSP is the first Assassin's Creed game on the PSP. It follows the story of Altair right after the events of Assassin's Creed as Altair tracks down the last Templars who fled the Holy Land and retreated to the Island of Cyprus. The world of the assassin is one cloaked in shadow and steeped in danger. Ensnared in a web of revenge and conspiracy, the assassin embraces power at its most elemental, acting as the dividing line between life and death. As an assassin confronted by perilous new challenges and difficult choices, what path will you choose?
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines contains several bonus features integrated with the PlayStation 3 version of Assassin's Creed II through a USB link between the two systems.† Players who own both games can collect "Templar Coins" in Bloodlines and exchange them for Assassin's Creed II currency, as well as collect weapons from defeated targets and play with those same weapons in Assassin's Creed II. Through that same USB connectivity, blade and health upgrades found in Assassin's Creed II can be transferred to Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, making for the ultimate Assassin's Creed gaming experience on both platforms. "Angels & Demons" PlayStation Store Downloadable Movie Voucher In Ron Howard's thrilling follow-up to The DA Vinci Code, expert symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) follows ancient clues on a heart-racing hunt through Rome to find the four Cardinals kidnapped by the deadly secret society once thought to be little more than a myth, the Illuminati. With the Cardinals' lives on the line, and the Camerlengo, (Ewan McGregor) a sort of papal chamberlain, desperate for help, Langdon embarks on a nonstop, action-packed race through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, and eventually the most secretive vault on Earth. 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo With 2GB of memory, the compact Memory Stick PRO Duo allows you to save your PlayStation Network downloads, as well as store your videos, photos, music and more.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Unique color, so-so game, movie is DVD-quality but doesn't fit on 2 GB MS,
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PSP 3000 Limited Edition Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines Entertainment Pack- White (Video Game)
Going by the package images I thought the unit was going to be an "off-white" color but it is in fact pearlescent (opalescent) white and under direct lighting or bright indirect lighting it does "sparkle" as the first reviewer stated though I would hardly consider it "glittery" myself and I think it's a really nice effect.
Under normal indirect lighting conditions it just looks off-white so it's not like it's sparkling all the time unless you happen to like playing under bright lights. This color is available in Japan but it's unique to this package here in the US (unless you import) and I actually much happier with the color of the unit than if it was just a regular white/off-white. Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines is only a so-so game. Read the reviews if you aren't sure what to expect. The environments in Bloodlines have been trimmed down a lot compared to the original game (which isn't surprising given the limitations of the PSP) so the cities don't feel as "alive" or expansive as in the console game. The controls also suffer because of the lack of a second analog stick on the PSP. Normally in these sorts of 3rd-person 3D games the left analog stick controls your movement and the right analog stick controls your view but on the PSP you have to use the buttons in combination with a trigger button to have full control over your view which is very awkward. For those that haven't played either of the console games you might actually enjoy the game play on Bloodlines more than somebody who has since you won't have experienced those things that wouldn't fit on the PSP. The Angels & Demons PSN Voucher code is actually for the DVD-quality version of the movie (720 x 480 resolution, 16:9 anamorphic widescreen) rather than a UMD-quality version (480 x 272) which was a nice surprise. There's no extras though, so it's not like the version you can get on DVD. I downloaded it on my PS3 and am watching it on there which is nice but you can copy it to your PSP if you like. *However* the 2 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo the package comes with is too small to fit the movie as the movie is 2.2 GB in size so you can't download it from PSN on your PSP or watch it on there unless you have a larger Memory Stick to put it on. I haven't tried using the Music Voucher yet so I can't comment on that part. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. I really like the PSP itself. It's not quite as well put together as my old original PSP (Model 1001) but the screen is nicer and the lighter weight and more RAM are nice too. And the Pearl White color definitely gives a subtle (unless you are always using it under bright lights) but unique look to the unit which I really like. The "value" of the package, however, isn't as good as I originally thought it might be. I probably won't finish Bloodlines as I have a bunch of other games I would rather play first. I bought a Sony 16 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo to go along with this PSP as I wanted to take advantage of the ability now to buy and download games to the MS which was added to PSN to support the PSPgo (I find juggling UMDs a pain and they are slower) so the 2 GB MS isn't much use to me. So really I paid for the PSP and the movie, and the songs if I ever use that voucher, which if you value the Pearl White PSP the same as the regular Piano Black one isn't a good deal but it is one if you consider how much it would cost to buy a Pearl White PSP from an import shop. If you think you will enjoy the game and can make good use of the 2 GB MS then the package is a very good value.

This review is from: PSP 3000 Limited Edition Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines Entertainment Pack- White (Video Game)
I'm very excited to own this bundle, as I've been looking to get a PSP and I've been a longtime fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise, so I had to have this when I discovered it.
The PSP-3000 console is in a very unique color in that at arm's length it appears a pretty common white but at closer examination it has a shimmery finish. I wouldn't exactly call it glittery but it adds a nice effect. In general, I'm a fan of the 3000 model PSP, as it is the last model to still support the console's varied UMD library. The PSPgo - Piano Black has some impressive upgrades like Bluetooth and a larger integrated memory but the 3000 definately is the way to go if you already have a collection of UMD games or don't like having to download games. The included game includes a software update that's required to play it, but at the time of my purchase a new firmware upgrade was available over the internet. PS3 owners: The PSP can connect to your console via a private network or over the internet (through the PlayStation Network) to control some functions and play all your PsOne Classics. It's tricky to get set up, and the feature isn't quite up to its full potential, but it's useful for doing things like starting lengthy downloads or checking friend messages without being at home or in front of the TV. The Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines game is a nifty little port of the classic series for the PSP. The basic gameplay elements are maintained, but the stunning graphics and cityscapes of the console titles is understandably absent. That being said, the graphics certainly aren't on the cutting edge of the PSP's capability. The controls are a little awkward at first after playing Assassin's Creed 2 for hours, but a little practice will get Altair to behave like what you're used to. The connectivity with Assassin's Creed II is more of an easter egg or cheat code than anything, but those who've advanced far enough in the console game will find that they unlock a weapon on Bloodlines that makes the game almost too easy. (You have to have the game loaded on both systems, and select "connect" on both systems from the extras menu on the console and on the upgrades menu on the handheld. a USB link is necessary.) Also, this game arrives in a small paper sleeve. I was mildly disappointed with not having a more durable case to store the UMD in, but this isn't a problem for owners of UMD cases. The PSN voucher for Angels and Demons had a code that did not work initially. A call to SCEA's Customer Support resolved the issue within a couple of business days. The Angels & Demons movie is impressive quality, but as with most PSN downloads, no subtitles, no special features. The movie itself is an okay adaptation of an okay book. It lacks what tension and excitement the book had, and doesn't compare to the earlier "The Da Vinci Code." As mentioned by another reviewer, the digital copy will not fit on the device itself or on tne included Memory Stick Duo. It's not a title I'll watch more than a few times, so it's no loss to me to only have it stored on my PS3's hard drive. But keep this in mind before you buy. The 2GB Memory Stick Duo is great to start off with, it was able to fit some game saves downloadable content fine. Anyone serious about downloading games off the PSN (incredibly convenient, and a wise choice for someone who might upgrade to a later download only model PSP)or carring music and videos will need either more memory sticks, a larger memory stick, or both. Swapping them out is easy, and they have a spot to write on them, so with the right case, carrying 3 or 4 memory sticks isn't too much bother. Side note: There's also a voucher for some song downloads. I haven't used it yet so I can't comment on it.

Awesome Package! Just a little warning before you buy!,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: PSP 3000 Limited Edition Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines Entertainment Pack- White (Video Game)
I'd like to say first off before you buy this, the PSP itself, is SPARKLY white! Its not a flat white, it is a glittery white. Just glad I got it for my wife. So if you have a wife or girlfriend that wants one, then you should get them this one. More then likely she will give you the assassins creed game. Which is win win! My wife loves the PSP, and all the other stuff it comes with! Unfortunately, the PSP wifi doesn't work with my N wireless router. That is my wife's only complaint. Other then that, this would make an awesome gift! Everything is already in 1 package!
