1. No need to call people delusional if they like something different than you.

2. Out of curiousity what features is the PSP Go! missing?

3. Why would you even compare a new model to a used model? Thats pretty stupid.

4. Im pretty sure he said all games will be availble.

1. I am a psp fan, and if you still like the go! even though it has eveything wrong with it.. Well, I cannot help but think other wise. Hard a good hard look at my reasonings, will you?

2. UMD drive..... And That's.... HUGE.

3. Because used models are even cheaper. But fine, you can get a psp 2000-3000 new for 170$.... Okay guy, let's add it up just for funzies!!!!!

Psp-170$

8 gigabyte memory stick-30$

50$ left for up to 10 UMD games

total: under 250$

But now, let's shop for an even better deal!

used psp 3000 bundle-160$ (includes game, movie, 1 gb card also)

8 gigabyte card- 30$

20$ psp store card

40$ left for games

total: under 250$

 

4. No, and this is 50% of my main beef with the go!. He said 100 new and old games (meaning over 50% will be ps1 games) will be available by launch. That's not bad, but when you consider the fact that there have been 429+ games released for the psp on umd, it's bullshit. Complete... bullshit... They are looking for a solution, yes, but I don't think they will find one (like their solution for pirating, lol). And also, to clear up what CACTUS SAID.... Sony said they WANT every game available. That is still wishful thinking at best.

 

If there is anything I haven't adressed about this downgrade... Tell me, so we can argue more.

1. Some of us do in fact like the PSP Go!, and I would much rather have it than the PSP 3000. And by now, I have defended the Go! quite a lot, and I'm pretty damn sure I know what I'm talking about.

2. It may be huge, but this is exactly why Sony are keeping the 3000 on the market. Because not everyone want a DD only handheld, and so the PSP Go! is not for everyone in that sense. Again, I would much rather have the Go! than the 3000.

3. The Go! is not just a downgraded PSP 3000. It's a thousand times more portable than any PSP before it, it's smaller, it's lighter, and you can carry a bunch of games around with you without buying extra storage. A recent PSP 3000 bundle was the Everyday Shooter one. You got a PSP 3000, a voucher to download the game and a 4 GB stick for $199. I think 16 GB will last much longer than many think.

4. I'm pretty sure that 'old' games refer to old PSP games and not PS1 games. And even so, every future UMD release will have a digital release, so Sony will just have to put a bit of effort into putting old PSP games on the PS Store, which I think will very much happen. As I see it right now, this is could be the only weakness of the PSP Go! at launch.

1. Except what I am about to bring to the table...

"Unfortunately, Koller also mentioned the company is "looking at what kind of games will be offered" when allowing users to actually play the discs they purchased."     LOL.

 

2. This is true, but it doesn't mean there is a reason for this... thing, instead of a psp-4000, with a UMD drive..

3.16 gigs will last a lot longer than many think, but so will UMDs, and an 8 gig memory stick (I still have 4.5 gigs left, personally). The former would also last alot longer, also. Hell, there is even a 16 gig card if you want to go EXTREME.

4. the fact that you think sony are going to put 70 more umd legacy games on the psn service by october first is not realistic.
