(More customer reviews)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.
