"A story doing the rounds last week that claimed French retailers were refusing to stock PSP Go was debunked by SCEE this morning.

The original JeuxVideo piece claimed that “major retailers” had possibly forced Sony to not launch the handheld in France thanks to its lack of physical media - which means no ongoing games sales and no secondhand PSP Go games market.

“No French retailers have refused to stock the Go,” we were told by SCEE. The rep added that the story simply wasn’t true.

PSP Go launched in October, priced €249. We’re still waiting for the UK price."

Let's put this nonsense to rest =)

This is good. I hope most stores carry the Go so word can get out to the masses. Plus, stores that refuse to sell it are just losing out on extra money. Their loss.

I agree with tedster. If any stores refuse to sell it its their loss and i don't see why Sony would care.

I don't see why they wouldn't. They'd get a cut of that monstrously high price, and they can still sell some accessories with the device.

I mean, it'd be like not selling iPods just because most people that have them download their music.

I'm thinking retailers could get as much as $50 per Go sold, in NA at least. In the EU it's probably a less than 50 Euros, given various taxes and whatnot.

Yippie.
