Let me rebuttal you real quick. 1) Extra memory is always a good thing especially when Sony expects you to download 10-15 games on the PSP. Sure some of the games may be small, but if you include music and movies, 16GB will go fast. Having 25GB-30GB already in the system would be great. The system is already overpriced anyways. You even said people could add more, which means more money out of gamers pockets. Just include it to begin with. 2) Having a 2nd analog would have been fine. For one, more gamers would want to buy the PSP Go. Developers could easily find alternate way to play their games without the 2nd controller. 3) Having the Touch would be great for nagivating the screen, texting or online chats. Doesn't have to be just for games. If the game did use Touch it probably wouldn't be available for the PSP 3000. I think some of these games may be downloadable only with ever coming out on UMD format. 4) You keep saying this is copying. That's all Sony has done over the past 4 years, so why stop now. They copied Microsoft, then copied Wii. So what the hell are you talking about? Having a Phone feature on the PSP would be great. The future PSP I see completely eliminates the old PSP 3000. So there wouldn't be any compatibility issues. 5) Why would I want to pay for the same UMD PSP game for PSP Go. That's just stupid. 6) Camera would be perfect to e-mail pictures to your friends or put your face into a game. As I said it would only be associated with the phone features. 7) Of course the price is too high, whcih is why I added all the extra features to justify the price. You're dilusional if you think PSP owners or anyone else is going to shell out $250 for a PSP that is small and has less features then the PSP 3000 which is cheaper. That's dilusional. |
I think the IPod and IPod Touch are over priced as well. I did get one for the wife, but I got it on sale for $249.Well you do realize that companies have to make money right? With the current exchange rates, the price of the PSP Go! could be nothing more than an insurance that money will be made. Now,
1) Of course extra memory is good, except when you have to pay for it. On amazon, a 16 GB Memory Stick Pro Duo costs £60. This shit is expensive (I know Sony obviously doesn't buy them at those prices, but it's still pretty high).
2) No, it would in fact not. Games designed with it in mind would have been cut off from every other PSP owner out there, and looking at the PSP Go!, where would you have put it? It would have been a waste of time and money to implement it while we are still on the actual PSP. If the PSP2 doesn't have it, then people can start complaining.
3) Again, there is no reason to. The Dpad does just fine, and in the end, it would only have served to increase the price, touch screens aren't cheap either.
4) No, it wouldn't be great, it would be completely useless. The PSP is not designed to be a phone, it's a gaming device. Should the DSi have had a high end SKU with phone features too then?
5) Maybe, just maybe, the PSP Go! doesn't force you to upgrade. You don't need to upgrade to the Go!, and even so, Sony have already said that they are working on a solution.
6) It's completely useless. Would you rather pay more and have it, or pay what we have now or not have it? I know I don't give a shit about having a camera, and even so, there is already a camera you can just attach to the PSP.
7) You may think they're overpriced, but creating a device like that costs money, and when the only difference between the 16 GB and 32 GB iPod Touches is just that, the price difference of $100 should give you an idea that this is not a cheap upgrade, even though the profit margin is obviously bigger on the 32 GB version.
No, that is in fact not delusional. Several members on these forums, myself included, have expressed great interest in getting one. And it's not like it has less features just for the sake of it. It will be bought because it's more portable than any PSP before it.
