The PSP Go was a MAJOR flop. We need to talk about it.

Going all digital is fine, it's worked with the iPhone so far. Sony needs a PSP Phone. Whats the point of being download only, if I can't download from anywhere? Needing a Wifi connection to download is limiting

Compare the PSPGo to the iPhone, and the difference is clear. For $199 you get an MP3 player, movie player, 100,000 apps, Phone, Videogame Player, GPS device, touchscreen, etc.

The PSPGo cost $249, you get an mp3, video player, and you get to play games. But first you have to convert the video into something ridiculous.

They need to leverage the PSN the way Apple has leveraged iTunes. I mean, Sony owns music and movie studios!! Combine that with the excellent first party games, and I'm not sure why their not raking in the cash. Oh yeah...they make stupid pricing points and confining propriatory connections.

Seriously, Sony's proprietory plugins and sd-cards need to END! I've avoided a lot of their cameras due to the proprietary stuff. Geez, what are these guys thinking?

Why's people always comparing the PSP Go with an iPhone? Its PSP Go vs Ipod Touch and relatively speaking are more at the same level.

 

Price wise you just have to shop around people.  Dell had the PSP Go at $199 for the holidays, and some big stores like Bestbuy would price match that and deduct another %10 off the savings.  Not a bad deal.  Sure its still a little pricier but with a built in HDD $199 beats those bundle PSP ....but as well its all peoples preferences.
