I don't get it. While I think the move is smart, the price is outlandish.

Right now, you can buy a 16GB iTouch for $299. Within the next two months, Apple will update the iPod line and the 32GB iTouch will likely fall into the $299 category with a 64 taking the top-end slot (this is rather obvious given the new iPhone specs).

On top of that, the iTouch is going to be using drastically superior hardware than the PSP Go with (likely) four times the RAM and roughly double the clock speed.

What is Sony thinking?

The thing about the iTouch/iPhone is that this new lineup hadn't been announced when Sony decided the price of the PSP Go!, and I doubt Sony would have guessed that Apple would release a new lineup of this kind, so fast after the old revision. The 3G iPhone and slimmed down iTouches are not even a year old after all.

On top of this, the PSP Go! is rumored to get its own "App Store", which should add some value to the price of the Go!, though I agree it's still too high.

So, what is Sony thinking right now? I think they are cursing Apple for releasing this updated iPhone/iTouch.

NO IT WONT, it wont add more becuase you dont need a PSP GO to access it you can do it with a 3k, why havent you get the point the 3k is digital too? it can download games it can do everything the GO can, but fit in a shirt pocket.
