Got one yesterday as well, besides games its already replaced my ipod touch. Took it the gym to listen to music while working out and about 7 people asked about it lol

 

Yeah you got it, it has replaced your ipod touch. Thats what sony is aiming for, they are not trying to sell you less for more, they didnt discontinued the psp 3000. They want to sale small multimedia player that also play games. They are in the right price point if you compare to Ipod video, ipod touch...

The reviewers and most peoples completely missed the point. Also most games on PSN is cheaper then retail right now. If I was not into hacking like euphoria14 I would get one for sure. I think the PSPgo will prolly also sales to peoples that dont even wanna play games.

Bottom line: the PSPgo is not compare to what it should when reviewed. It offers so much more than a Ipod video/touch for almost same price.

When I showed it to people they all wanted one too...

One of my friends said she just wanted it to watch videos, and maybe get a game like scrabble.



The fact that it's small, looks cool, and has a great screen are huge to the general public.

 

Yup exactly, the reviewers completely missed the point. I have no problem trusting you on the fact you had a friend that would get one for movies and not even play games. After all Ipod sell at 200$ and its all downloading and uploading on the memory, but no games like on PSP, no wi-fi, no bluetooth, doesnt read as much file extension, screen is smaller, screen not as bright, cannot be plug on a tv and so on. Also if you own a Ipod you know as much as me that an ipod is more hastle than a PSP to configure on your PC or friends PC.

They didnt discontinued the PSP 3000 because the PSPgo is aiming toward other needs. I would like to be able to use my PSP as  MP3 but obviously the PSP 2000 that I have is way too big, and always have to place the control on hold if you dont want to mess up while doing things. If it could be hack I would get one now and sell the 2000 because you can do sooooo much with a hack PSP (not talking about piracy).
