Forums - Sony - Patcher: Sony is 'ripping off' consumers with PSP Go

meh, if you guys feel 299$ and 599$ are very big deal. you havent seen what it is in here.



Around the Network

At the prices they want to charge, its like they are saying to Apple 'eat my shirt, I don't care I have the PS3'.



Tease.

I want to hold a candle light vigil for this price point. Let us pray that it is an elaborate joke.



Well he is right, it is a rip off. Sony will try their luck though and you might some people are crazy enough to bite. GT Portable might push a few but overall PSP 3000 sales should increase a lot. Either way I assume the PSP Go is being sold at a large profit so meh let us see what happens. What helps Sony if that there is a much cheaper model so they will not suffer much.

As Source said it could also be funding a PS3 price cut however if a slim really is on the way (would believe Sin over all of you :P) a price cut will be possible without losing a larger amount per unit sold.

I think it's a gamble... if it sells well at this price, Sony can rake in a lot of money to fund a PS3 price cut.

@bonker

no PS3 was sold at a LOSS

PSP GO! will be sold at a GREATER Profit than PSP 3000

there's a HUUUUUUUUUGE difference!
_______________

PSP GO! is a really bad move, it costs £250 here.....lol

If PS3 price drop rumors are true, then the PS3 will cost less than a PSP GO!


The PS3 was kinda justify. 

I was talking about their other stuff.  Such as TV, Laptop, Steroes and Cell Phones.

Samsung TV>>>Sony TV

Sony TV cost >>>Samsunt TV

Why take money earnt by the PSP and spend it on the system which loses them the most money? If it doesn't justify the extra investment on its own then why bother? Its like getting an athlete to run a treadmill to power the lifesupport of a fat no hope slob who wants to die anyway.



Tease.

250$ is nothing imo. I paid about 500$ for my iPod Touch 32gb, but tech is alot more expensive over here than in the US. And the games for the PSP GO vs iPod Touch is way better in quality.
Even if the App Store has alot more content and easy to use, i think the DD for the PSP GO through PSN will be sweet!



very true on the umd and 300 price thing.

its all moot to me, my O.G. psp broke, my 2000 broke, so im avoiding this one, unless they make some game i have to get

but yeh price gouging big time



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.
