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

The DS LL is a product that offers nothing at all other than it being almost twice the size of the normal DSI, and is priced at a much higher price than the DSi, yet it isn't even talked about.

The PSP GO on the other hand has to be hated on.. its not a mistake, its a business strategy, get more money off PSN, and a load of money off hardware. Im not buying it, but I am more than certain it cost them less to make a PSP GO than to make a PSP 3000.

The PSP Go isn't neccessarily "hated on"...it's Sony releasing a product that was overpriced at the wrong time, not fully supported, and not in line with major consumer feedback that's being, "hated on"...so in my opinion that's warranted.

Not fully supported? Most of the PSP game library is on PSN.. atleast the games that matter. Sure it may be overpirced, but in fact, for what you get in a  PSP its under priced, you get one of the best portable multimedia systems on the market, for just $169. While you get a DS that only plays games, for $129? How does that make sense?

DSLL is just a DS that has been boosted up in size significantly, and isn't getting anything added to it at all, and people don't hate on it. I didn't see many people going crazy that the DSi completely killed of the GBA compatibility. But ofcourse, lets all hate on the PSP GO because its $249, and even though it offers 16GB of memory, bluetooth internet capabilities via cellphone, and the pause game feature added to what a PSP can already do, but the DSLL is priced not too far from $249 in japan, and offers absolutely nothing more than what a DSi does, and it sells like crack.

You can't really compare to DSi LL to the PSP Go. If a person buys the DSi LL they can still play all of their (previously purchased) DS games on it. The LL also has increased battery life compared to the regular DSi. PSP Go has the same battery life as the 3000.

The price of the DSi LL in japan is 20,000 yen. The price of the PSP Go in japan is 26,800 yen. (at current exchange rates that a difference of $74 between them)
