IMHO

they are overestimating the spread of DD way too much!

Music & movies is different, but games require so much more time to download. due to huge size!....I just can't see it happening until 2020!

If you spent less time worrying about capital letters in your titles and more time considering what you're posting, you'd have realised that snackable games will most often weigh in at a few dozen MB and normal games from a few hundred MB to a gig or so, versus a movie or selection of music playlists that will weigh in at several gigs.

Sony (and Apple, although that's entirely snackable, rather than console-focused) are just spearheading a new direction for the industry.

It would be beyond foolhardy if Sony waited until 2012, let alone 2020, to start making inroads with this DD business model.

All I need to here is one single PSP game coming to PSN and I'm SOLD. And believe it or not this will actually be CHEAPER for me.

you know NIS is going to have a 50% off sale for several PSP games (on PSN) on Oct 1st, don't you?

Well, just a question, will we be able to access the PSN our store with PSP-3000? If yes, the PSPGo is really a rip-off, since we could just buy a psp 3000 and a 16gb card and we would have the same things GO has.

yes, you can.

whether PSPGo is a rip-off depends on how you see it.

Sony knows how to price it right so they can sell both.

If a customer has to be educated on how to use a product like this, then its too complicated to achieve mass market success, niche product confirmed

^ like the internet and facebook and twitter and amazon etc.

they all experienced people saying the same thing

The title of the thread is a tad misleading. I thought the thread was talking about educational software being a digital download bonus, since the talk of comic books on the PSP has been said before. Would be a huge bonus for Sony on their part to tap into the educational market, even though that the educational/learning software has been on the DS for a few years.

  Not really the internet, amazon, etc, are all extremely easy to use, even people who aren't computer savvy easily figure it out, but according to the article, even those familiar with the PSP and game systems, are having trouble understanding the go, that means a much higher learning curve than the internet
