We’re all pretty excited for the release of LEGO Rock Band around The Flickcast offices. We’ve brought you plenty of coverage of the game, including a brand new Queen video, and even the complete track list to get your mouth watering. We’re now bringing you something even better, as the full trailer has just been released.

The game will do all the things Rock Band fans have come to crave in a game, from singing to rocking out electric base. One of the newest features is the aesthetic look of the LEGO people and surroundings. You can create full bands to use on tours, which are all about as customizable as the LEGO people you used to play with as a kid.

The trailer shows off four of the exclusive tracks that can be found on the game, including Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name”, Counting Crows’ “Accidentally in Love”, Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’”, and Europe’s “Final Countdown”. Check out the trailer after the jump, and be sure to grab LEGO Rock Band from your local video game store on November 3rd!

We’ve been talking a lot about the PSPgo here at The Flickcast, both comparing it to the earlier PSP models and discussing problems with its impending release. The biggest issue the PSPgo is facing is the removal of the UMD drive. Because the PSPgo doesn’t allow for the use of UMDs, if you already own PSP games you won’t be able to play them on your new console just yet.

Fans are wary about running out and buy a brand new device without the ability to play the extensive collection of games they already have for it, and retailers in some countries are even refusing to carry the device, citing that they don’t agree with Sony’s download-only sales strategy.

However, Kotaku reports that Sony’s got a solution to this problem… in Europe. Anyone upgrading from the PSP to the PSPgo will recieve three free PSP titles. Seventeen titles are being offered, including Killzone: Liberation, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3, WipEout Pure, echochrome, LocoRoco, and Papaton. In order to get your three free games, you’ll need any UMD, an older PSP, and an internet connection to access the Playstation Network.

This solution is certainly better than rebuying all your old PSP games, but for gamers with far more than three PSP games are sure to still feel frustrated. You’ll be able to receive your three free games  from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 in European territories. The PSPgo hits shelves October 1st in the US, and we here at The Flickcast hope that Sony will bring this option to us here in America as well.
