"We followed up with Rubenstein today and he told us, "The majority of back catalog PSP games will be made available for download around the launch of the PSPgo." We made sure to ask if he was speaking strictly about first-party titles and he told us he meant "the majority overall.""

------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I do want a PSP Go! and I have every intent of buying one.

1) It's smaller and lighter

2) Comes with the built in memory for downloading games

3) Improved screen (doesn't have the errors of the 3000)

4) Better buttons and button placement

5) UMD drives have moveable parts and create greater chances of hardware failure

Those are the reasons I will be getting a PSP Go!, and although I do agree that the price is too high, I'm willing to pay that much anyway.

PSP isn't 200 dollars....


true, the price i put was the rachet bundle ill fix it

I think the psp go is $249.99 not $259.99, you might want to check that.

I still don't see the big deal on the price point though, its less expensive than an Ipod touch with the same amount of storage and has better games. It also has access to content that can be trasfered between your PS3 and back again with little trouble. Maybe its just me, but people are making way too big a deal about this.

here it is


"We're in the midst of putting together a good will program. We'll be unveiling that soon [because] we actually think there's a significant group that will be upgrading from the 1000...In the past, we've seen a 20-25% trade-up factor, and I assume that's going to be the case here. We've modeled that. So we're looking at a good-will program—a short term good-will program that would continue for years afterward."

That says nothing about what you're trying to say. It just talks about a program for current PSP owners to play their UMD games on the PSP Go!...

It's true. At that price Sony doesn't seem very interested in being competitive just in filling their coffers. That may not be the case but that's the impression people will have and ultimately that's all that matters.

Also accessories are no compatible,  both will be sold simultanously, both will have full support according to sony and most games will still be released on UMD along PSN store, but anyway PSN store is available for both and both can get digiral content.

 

 

Ok , WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY A PSP GO? someone explain me, why give US$80 way for the same thing? if you are thinking about buying this, why do you think it will give you a different expiriance? it all comes doen to the size reduction but, should this translate to a price reduction since is now cheaper to make?  

 

All this bring us to one logical conclusion as long as the 3000 is available PSP GO will fail in sales if the price is not dropped

 

First.  At least get the specs right.

PSP Go Feartures:

Memory Stick M2

3.8" screen

 

Second. It's probably not the unit for you.  It's definitely the unit for me though.  The UMD format would have been good IF they had fully supported with a large range of products at launch.  Like mini movie players (like those palmtop dvd players), recordable/re-writable UMD drives for computers, PS3 usable, etc.  As it stands it sucks.  I would much rather just download the game to my computer and put it on the PSP as needed.  With a 16GB M2 stick and the 16GB onboard id have all the games I needed day to day, and when I wanted to I could swap out as needed as well.

The PSPGO 16GB is more portable, less cumbersome, and not stuck with a dead format.
