Quickdraw and others who never owned a PSP and/or want full digitial distribution are happy to see this but they probably don't realize most PSN UMD Legacy/other PSP games are more expensive then the used market right now, and even some new games. Sony states 100+ PSP games will be out during the launch of PSP GO! (which is still months away) but makes no mention of price. Are you telling me you would rather pay $19.99 for a digital copy of Outrun 2 then $10 or less for the used market? You guys can defend Sony/the developers all you want in concerns of the used game market and how they get nothing, but the fact is your gonna be robbed blind by the prices on PSN unless there are some radical changes. Again look at the current PSN prices for PSP games |
You're running under the assumption that I, and like-minded individuals, buy used games.
I don't support the used market, and the only time I ever will is when the games are old and/or otherwise unavailable (As an added bonus, games becoming unavailable is another problem you'll never encounter with digital distribution).
Like I said in my earlier post, the benefits far outweigh the costs in regards to the handheld market (I like to emphasize that since I believe digital distribution would not benefit the home console market).
And if, for whatever reason, you feel differently, Sony claims they will be keeping the PSP-3000 on the market simultaneously, so I don't see the problem.
EDIT: Also, we are both assuming Sony won't adopt a similar price-cutting strategy similar to Steam when they go full DD. I think they'll find it beneficial sooner or later, since it is one of the prominent reasons the Steam market took off so quickly
