Forums - Sony - Wasn't sure at first but now I'm gonna get a PSP Go

I'm not buying one it's too expensive
In the UK it's £250. That's the equivalent of $400.
Sony stop trying to screw you EU fan base. We didn't even get a PS3 price cut for god sakes!
I could get a 360 elite for cheaper!

you can get one for £200 in UK. thats still too much for me to change from my psp1000 because of all the umds but if i was buying my first psp i would probably get the go.

Only sold through PSN so no competition. 

 

Maybe you can clarify what you mean here because I'm drawing a blank as to what your point is. The Go will still have to compete with other systems regardless of how and where the games are sold.



You realize all that stuff is PSN based,right? Chances are it's cheaper to buy a 3000 and 16gb flash memory. You could probably play downloaded games and minis on a regular PSP.

He's saying that digital downloadable games don't have as many reasons to receive price cuts than retail games do, thus there won't be as many. The proof of this is the current three DD services offered on the consoles and the general lack of price cuts. Also clearancing out items will never happen because they don't take up physical space and can't be overordered by retailers. Plus a lot of early sales on games are done by the retailers themselves and not the publishers, so they can get customers into the store and/or to clear stock, and you lose out on that going DD only.

Exambles, Best Buy is offering Need for Speed Shift for $40 and Microcenter is offering Beatles Rock Band for $40. They are doing this to attract business, and are likely losing money on each copy sold. If these titles were available digitally, they would not benefit from this and would be $60.

The changes fixed exactly what put me off the psp in the first place, mainly making it smaller and lighter.

But the price is still an issue, it's almost as expensive as a PS3.



I'm getting 100 PSP GO's XD



@Onyxmeth

That's perfectly reasonable. However I was referring to hardware because I got the feeling that's what the opening post was referring to.



I'm gonna hold out for a bit. I think SONY's gonna drop the price of the system after the holiday boost.

All I need is a list of games that will be ready for it when it comes out.

Anyone?
