Ah. So the system costs more, the games cost more, and you don't actually own them , SONY can't guarantee every title will be up for download and many of the existing PSP peripherals won't work without a clumsy adapter, an adapter which makes the PSP GO MUCH less portable, increasing its width substantially. Yes, that explains why the system will be a success.

added one for you erik!

Double fixed!

Triple Fixed

I hope SONY lower the prices

Most of the games in the store aren't more than about $16, I've noticed. Many are $13 or less.

I have a feeling that "expensive to download" and "still on-the-shelf-at-retail" go hand-in-hand by retail request, as I've stated many times.

Do some comparisons of some older games, Kylie. I think the whole picture is more interesting than the small portion you're painting. The older cherry-picks you can find at amazon have been out-of-print and are being cleared everywhere for some time now.

There was no cherry picking on that list except for the fact I picked well known games/names. Tell me a good reason GT PSP costs almost double on the PS Store than it does in disc format?

Want to take a guess on which one of them will drop in price first and which one has the possibility of never dropping?

Don't you get GT for free when you register a Go?

Besides, I think the digital price for GT will drop in line with retail, just as every other title has done. As long as its available, new at retail, in UMD form though... it may be more expensive, or at least the same price, I agree.

Huh? You don't like cheaper games?

Unless I'm reading the OP wrong they're more expensive?

PSP go will be a small success for sony, and successful as a side venture. which is all they wanted. Sales are looking really good around here.

They might sucker in a few people but not too many, but at least those low sales will be high in profit, maybe that's what they are going for anyway, making something that makes the 3000 look good.

"Kinect" Games I am really excited about (Click for videos)
