Why can't people understand that the PSPGO is neither a replacement for or the successor to the PSP?

The PSP 3000 will still be around and the main platform, so anyone who doesn't like the GO can simply ignore it and opt for the former. Don't want to lose your UMDs? Stick with your current PSP.

The GO is mostly for tech-freaks and early adopters who absolutely have to have the latest gadgets. That's why it's priced so high.

I could understand people being upset if Sony discontinued the current PSP models and made the GO the only platform, that's not the case.

 

Consoles owned: Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PSP, DS, PS3

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.

The point is if the 3000 is also available why  will you buy a PSP go? i will also be able to download the same games that you do and play them in a 3000

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

yes  but how many people are willing to pay US$100 more for a little more portability?

We won't know for sure until it's officially released on October but to anwer your question I think a lot people will buy it especially the people that will not just buy it for games and people that travel a lot. Like I said It's more portable than a PSP 3000 because its smaller.

PSPGo really does equal epic fail!! YET ANOTHER SONY PR SPIN!

Yeah thats the best idea! I mean it worked for the PS3 and PSX!  *really heavy sarcasm*

When your software sales are in the toilet and Japan is really the only place keeping your system alive you need to introduce more costs to develop a more expensive system!  ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR IN THE RED!

HOORAY BEER!  I mean...HOORAY BUSINESS DECISIONS!

I thought one of the main points of the go was to counter piracy... you don't do that by increasing the price of your countermeasure and keep a moddable version available on the market...
