Well isnt the PSP Go for new customers? And since the PSP 3000 will remain on the market and supported, why would you as a PSP 3000 feel that its your "right" to be able to upgrade and demand that SONY gives you digital copies of your entire stock of PSP games?

Just doesn't add up.

If they were to discontinue the 3000.. sure they'd want to keep all their already existing customers, but since the 3000 will remain alive and supported i dont see how it would be their duty to make sure you receive all your existing games as free digital copies, just so you'd be able to upgrade.

If you want to upgrade, upgrade. If you dont want to upgrade, then don't.

It's for new customers now, but it could have been for existing customers also. Sony is limiting the market on this thing by boxing out existing PSP owners. Do you really think it's wise of them to potentially be alienating 50 million handheld gamers?

But imo they're not alienating 50m handheld gamers. They just provide another platform for those who feel that DD is for them. They are making profit on every PSP Go from day one, they are making profit on the PSP 3000 and they will support both. I just dont see how they can justify giving away free games to 50m handheld gamers just to feed off of PSP Go HW profit.


The process, workload, and costs it would take to develop a UMD to Digital return program for the gain of PSP Go HW profit, just dosen't add up. They'd be in the Red in no time.
