hmmm...your right I didn't read the gaming news or have the time like you have to view or search around for that particular info like you. Just to make it clear to you so you will understand. I watched the conference I didn't read and during Sony conference they didn't mention that. But thanks for letting me know the information that they are doing a system for UMD users. So now I don't have to go search and look around on the net for info or neglect the PSP since you were my source. Two thumbs up for you!

"[Update] Additionally, Sony intends to make upgrading to the PSP Go more viable for those with large existing UMD collections.

John Koller recently spoke with Gizmondo regarding the burning question, "what will gamers that upgrade to the PSP Go do with their collection of UMDs?"  The answer is apparently that Sony has a good will plan to offer PSP owners to obtain digital copies of their games for ease of use with the PSP Go.

Koller says, "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."

The system was made specifically with Japan's market in mind. The thing is going to sell like freaking hotcakes across the Pacific.

Even if PSP Go sales only ammount to 33% of all PSP sales, Sony will still be making such a killing that it will completely balance any losses they still are incurring on the PS3 at $399.99.

People are constantly wondering how Sony could possibly issue a $100 price drop for the PS3 this year as their fiscal forcast strongly insinuates and also manage to half their losses. One of the big factors is the PSP Go.

i'll be able to hold a max of 30 games when there are over 560 titles currently out on the psp system. That's what i'm complaining about

Nobody will buy one....

The PSP Go is just another nail in the SCE coffin. I'll give it maybe 2 months after launch before it is removed from the store shelves and manufacturing is ceased.

Purchases off the PlayStation Store will be tied to your account. If your flash drive on your PSP Go! gets filled up, you can simply delete games you completed or rarely play off your flash drive and since they are tied to your account you can go back and download them again without paying for them.

It's really no different then with memory cards in the good ol' PS1/2 days. If your memory card got filled up, you have to delete data. The only difference now though is instead of permanantly deleting data or being forced to purchase another memory card, you can just delete the game off the system and download it again if you ever feel the need to play.

And honestly, I have difficulty even naming 30 PSP games I'd want to own, much less need to have downloaded on my PSP at all times.

why would it ?

This is in fact exactly what I did with FF7.  I downloaded it onto the PS3 to play when im at home and then later downloaded onto my PSP to play when i'm out and about.

Frankly this debate on whether PSP3k owners should upgrade to PSPGO 16GB is moot.  They shouldn't upgrate.  Maybe even PSP2k owners shouldn't upgrade.  I think PSP1k owners should though.  Some will buy the PSP3k (though I wouldn't because of the screen lines), and some will buy the PSPGO 16GB.  New people who've been waiting for a more portable and all DD or UMD-sans PSP can get the PSPGO.

How big are your pockets?  Cause I certainly can't carry 560 UMDs in my pockets, I can't even carry 25-30 games in my pockets.  So already the PSPGO 16GB is more portable.  If you do happen to own 560 games for your PSP it'll be very easy to swap those games in and out from your PC/PS3 when you want.

A lot smaller, it looks cool, more portable than a PSP 3000.
