This is a hit and run troll thread from a member with a history of trolling. Why not just lock it?

That is highly likely, but there is nothing directly in the OP that is trolling.  He's just being slightly annoying.  I do my best not to infer the reason for a thread as trolling if it isn't obvious.  Makes things too easily skewed. 

I've had no inclination to buy a handheld since the Gameboy Color, but for the first time the PSP has gotten my attention. The look is so modern and fresh, that I finally would't be embarrassed to be seen in public with a handheld.

I'm a bit peeved that there's no hard copy of the games, because I'm materialistic and love looking at my collection, but when the damn thing looks so good it's hard to fault it.

Fun fact about the OP. Sony was the first to offer fully downloadable games on it's playstation store. By that i mean retail games :p has been for ... 2 years now ?


And the psp go is pretty awesome disregarding the price.

PSP Go is more for the digital fan. Which is what Sony has been stressing. It won't replace the 3000 series or UMD. It's to target the people who don't like the size or UMD. Which there are alot of those people around. I find it interesting that I would read comments from here, joystiq, GiantBomb, Gamespot and IGN about how useless the UMD format is. How it hampers the portable status of the handheld. So Sony makes the PSP Go. Which is all digital (but they still have the 3000 series), smaller and the battery will no doubt last hours longer. If you don't like the product. Don't buy it. Simple enough. You won't change the minds of the already going to buy the system.

(This post isn't meant to change anyone's view of the PSP Go, but I want to make sure people understand what this system is)
