Is it just me, or was it WAAAAAAAY to early for any console-maker to introduce a console that can only get games through the internet? I mean, not everybody has an internet connection. Out of people who do, many of them simply don't have the speed to download a game that is a gig.

When you make a console, aren't you supposed to make it as accessible as possible?

I think that's why the Go is actually pretty crafty.  The regular PSP remains as a safety net, while the Go is really an experiment to test the waters.  If it doesn' t tale off enough it doesn't matter, information learnt.  Also, I think a handheld, with the acceptance of iPhone, etc. is the safer place to also try digital vs say a home console.

If you think about it Sony can observe:

a - continued UMD sales

b - digital sales to regular PSPs

c - digitial sales to Go

Exactly, and that's what people don't get, Sony is not risking a bit with this, the Go is selling at a profit, the PSP-3000 has the DD service also and they are still supporting UMDs... This is for water testing like you say...
