They should drop the Go to $149, *below* the price of the 3000/4000.  Sales would jump and those new customers would be buying, rather than pirating, games.  Go does not cost $149/unit to produce. 

The GO is cheaper than the 3000 to produce, it's there money machine.. selling 10k is a huge profit for them.

Yep, I've noted before that each sale of Go at $249 likely brings a big profit.  But if they want to move units and not hear "ZOMG PSP is dead!" *all* they have to do is slash the price of PSPGo, and I'd personally say down to $149.  It's a great game machine and multimedia device at that price point.  Compare it to DS at $129, and iTouch at...whatever it's priced at.  PSN game sales would jump, too, once they got more PSPGo's out there.
