It just goes to show. With enough money and hype, you can beat a dead horse. PSPGo is a massive dud, they better do more than "relaunch". It needs a redesign.

If you want a great portable gaming console and a MP3 player or video player at the same time PSPgo is awesome. My old PSP was too big to use as a MP3 player but I have no problem with my PSPgo. It fit in pockets and is not too big either. Its also possible to run with it since it is a lot lighter. Its by far the best portable gaming platform considering the games and controls on a Ipod touch are not as good. Someone that use it at home sure would be as satisfied with the regular PSP at a lower price. I guess as soon as the price drop below 200$ all the badmouthing will stop and the PSPgo will be a great device like what happen to the PS3.

Some would argue it's the DS/DSi. Funny you mentioned iPod touch as a gaming platform but not DS/DSi.

The price point is certinaly one mjor disadvantage of PSP GO. People don't see enough value in the device when it's $80 more than the old one.

I didnt mention DS because of the size, its why I used the word portable instead of handheld.
