Damn those freaky deaky dutch not only do they take my fahzer away, they make my psp go away ;)



It's just a matter of time, shops that make money off of new/used games will dry up the same way record stores did. This is just the beginning of the end for these guys.

If Sony was smart they'd have released the system much cheaper, and offered 1-10 dollar mini downloads for everything (movies, songs, apps, partial games where u pay another $1 to keep playing if u like it, rentals of games for limited time like unlimited games for a week, etc.) Plus u make the network kind of like gambling, where the more u buy and go on you "win" free content, and u have online contests where the winner gets free content, etc...



I'd rather get the PSP 3000 than the Go. I still like having the game cases and manuals for everything. I need a "hard" copy of things, not pure digital. I want to feel ownership here. Sure there are some exceptions, like some xbl arcade games.... I don't mind having those on my hdd.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Why should I buy this? I can have all the features on the PSP-3000?

This has been my arguement since the day the PSPGO was shown to the  public. It has no benefit above the PSP to make it worthy of a higher price.

Even if it was at the same price I would have reservations about getting it. I really think Sony messed up on that little system. It should have everythign the PS3 does plus more, not in exchange of; at least to quantify the price increase.



Why no one has introduced a variable reward system in to their network download services is beyond me. People love to randomly win free things. It's addicting. Introduce this to the PSN, Home, or Live and watch them blow up.

Also, the model of something like WOW, where you have lots of little tasks that people can complete for a reward is also addicting.

When someone introduced these types of things into their download service, along with nice affordable bite sized content, than people will throw away their hard media like that.

I doubt Sony at this point expect PSPgo to be a mass market product. Just a premium PSP. That's what I think you loons and fanboys need to understand. And Eurogamer are yet again a disgrace.  A lying article entirely designed to reign in the fanboys to make them money. Sony should sue there asses.

Did you just call me a loon and a fanboy. I'm gonna have to go out on a limb here and say that's not very nice. LOL.

The PSPgo is a taste of the future. A test for Sony the same way the DS was a test for the Wi.  Either I'm some kind of crazy conspiracy theorist, or you haven't been paying much attendtion to trends in digital distribution of media over the last 10 years. It's all about who has the rights to distribute this stuff, Why do you think both Sony and Microsoft have systems with hard drives digital download services for movies and games?
