1. Fair enough

2. I think Sony are pretty aware about who is interested in this thing, and I think they will score some cash by having it at this price tag until the holidays are over, and then they will probably do a price cut. And I agree, $150 would have been awesome, but I think Sony are perfectly aware of what they are doing here, since they're still selling the 3000. If they had taken the 3000 off the market, then I would have agreed that the Go! was a stupid move, but the way things have been set up now, I think it's quite good.

3. My point was that the UMD drive is by no means all that good to have, and I would in fact much rather have all my games on the HDD. The lack of the UMD drive could in fact also mean an increased battery life and since all your games will be running off a the internal memory, they'll load faster.

4. I know you didn't, I'm just saying that we don't know what Sony are going to do with regards to putting all these games up on the store. And I don't mind if the full library wont come online, the PSP does have its shovelware and its old iteration sport games, and as long as Sony are just putting up the good stuff, then I am fine.

Also, someone said that the Dualshock 3 was bluetooth, which got me thinking. I think Sony could be planning for easy connection of a DS3 to your PSP Go! for all those people who would like to play with a second analog stick.

I'm glad we have finally reached a conclusion(?), but there is still the big elephant in the room, no matter what the arguement: price.

It's all about price right now.

Oh what the hell, here's a quickie rebuttal to the ones I still have an irk for:

3. I am In no way saying UMD is a great format... The cases that hold the discs fall apart after a while in use, the games load slower, and it makes some minor noise.. This is all true. But having all of the games that I rightfully bought is priority. Sony said their main targets for this device were new users and psp-1000 users, primarily. In a perfect world, if the psp go! wasn't ugly, and all of your games that you bought worked with it, the thing would be a must buy, even at 250$.....Well, if it was a value pack with free games and stuff.

4. They have already released THE CON...... There goes the shovelware arguement :P Seriously though, Sony hasn't changed their attitude about the psp psn store... Actual psp games are released slowly on it. If I am not mistaken, there are more ps1 games on it than psp games. I am just going on the past here, and I don't see sony making a hugely drastic change in their attitude.

3. SONY sees where the profit is and its called the PSP, thats why there has been more activity for the PSP than PS3 for a while now.  I think SONY will, aside from any license issues, attempt to get every UMD game onto the PSN store.

4. I think they already have changed their attitude with the store, and it originated in Japan.  In the US/EU we haven't seen much but that already is changing.  Why wouldn't they release every game on the store, its basicaly free money when compared to UMD sales.

Honest to Chuck, i wonder what system you think would look good, cause I think it looks great.

3. I have heard 2 sides to this arguement 1. sony has priced it so high because of the inclusions of blue tooth, and the 16 gigs of storage. 2. sony is trying to make a profit. it could well be either one for what we know. I can only assume by "more activity for the psp than the ps3" you mean since this E3... Then you are correct? They are only trying to keep the system on life support since the absense of titles for the past 2 years has been taking its toll!

4. This is for the bolded. Because they haven't already? The fact that the store originated in japan has nothing to do with the fact that the NA/EU psp store itself has been out since 2007... It is not already changing. Bullcrap premium wallpapers, and ps3 game trailers are the only things consistently released every week (if anything). The only reason there have been a couple demos released these past couple weeks is because of E3 (I am so getting baddman).

And since you asked, the psp I want is right below.......
