Could someone please explain this for me?

PSP 3000 is $169.99.
PSP Go is $249.99.

How is it a 68% increase in price (or double for some people) if the increase is $80 which isn't even 50% of 170?

Wouldn't the price increase actually be less than a 50% increase? FAR from the exaggerations I have been seeing here.

I quoted that figure from another poster. Maybe I misunderstood the figure he quoted, but I assure you, any misinformation was unintentional.

A. To me, and most people, saying "twice the price" is a figure of speech. 70 percent increase in price is, arguably, close enough, and in my opinion, it certainly is. I wasn't attempting to spread false information, and I figured the real increase was more like 50 percent. My point was you are paying more for less, which you are.

And yes, imo, a 12 precent decrease in screensize is detrimental to gaming. It certainly isn't good. It is a bit smaller than the difference between a 42 and a 50 inch HDTV, to give some point of reference. Again, I'm not good at math, but 12% is significant when it comes to screen size for me, at least.

...and percentages don't change the fact that it costs 80 dollars more for the machine. I would love to hear the pros about the console.
