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?

When's Dis2 coming? Please say b4 Oct1st...

disgaea 2: dark hero days is already out.

they all experienced people saying the same thing


  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

When amazon came out everyone called it a failure, and but they decided to keep amazon going at a loss because they needed to give time to consumers to learn how to use it. By learn they don't mean how difficult the product is to use. It's a willingness on the part of the consumer to purchase goods in a certain way.

Where in blazes did you get that???

All I got was that a few random idiots on the internet didn't realize that it didn't use UMD's...

From what I've read and seen in video's of the PSPGo, works about the same as the older PSP models with just a few things added. And the PSP models managed 50Million units.

But seriously... I'm pretty sure that SONY doesn't expect this thing to sell on par with the regular PSP...

They may have called it a failure, but not because it was difficult to use, maybe because it was new, on the other hand with the PSP GO:

It's really education, I don;t know how many times after E3 that I saw on blogs, “Well, I love the [PSP]go, it looks nice and portable, but where do I put my disk?”

Its not like digital distribution is something new, people have been downloading songs for years now, but people are not understanding how to use the GO, even though downloading is not something people are unfamiliar with, this isn't like Amazon

I handheld GAMING FOCUSED platform which only allows you to obtain games through ONLINE distribution ONLY, IS something new and UNFAMILIAR for the majority of consumers.

I understand the push to digital distribution.

I just cannot see how this product, which offers a compact size but less functionality (and no new operating features) for a higher price, can succeed. This is especially true when there is to be no discount for buying a digital (as opposed to a retail) version of a game.

This has Neo Geo written all over it -- a nice niche playtoy.

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

well then PCs are stil niche products since I have to explain them to customers every day.

one thing I'd love to see is download resume support for the PSP store.
The PS3 PSN has it, so why can't they tack on a small bit to the current PSP download app?
I know some games that are available to both PS3 and PSP on PSN (Like FFVII) can be downloaded to the PS3 (with resume) and then transfered to the PSP but why not put resume download into the PSP Media Go software or the PSN app on the PSP?

to someone with dodgy-at-best internet like me and others, it would get me to buy more from them.
I can't even download the Disidia demo without it timing out for crying in a bucket.
