good thing is if you need umd`s you can buy a psp 3000.

if you dont you can buy a psp go.

What twesterm said. Do you take into account eBay and Paypal fees? Theres no way (atleast for me from my research) to break even selling off your PSP collection and downloading everything.

If your a eBay member go search completed auctions. Average God of War complete goes for $10 or less shipped. Factor in shipping and Paypal fees and I'm lucky to get around $7 ish. If it somehow goes over $10 then I'll be lucky but theres no way It's going to hit $16 after It's all said and done. So just for God of War I'm gonna have to spend about $9 more for a digitial copy... for something that I already had!

Burnout Dominator? Seen a lot of copies go for $5. I don't even want to get into how much I would lose on downloading the title for $15...

Lastly I'll have to sell my older PSP if I wish to "GO! with the flow!" and that will probably run me $150 if not more of a difference.

PSP Go is great for new comers, but unless your a spoiled/rich person or someone who has never owned a PSP before It's not  really worth it.

Oh, and less we forget...

While the PlayStation Store is simply offering games at normal retail price, many retailers engage in price wars to gain the loyalty (and dollars) of consumers. Unfortunately, owners of the digital-only PSP Go will never be able to benefit from actual retail pricing, as SCEA's Eric Lempel told Destructoid that "we have pricing parity right now, and it is part of our strategy."

If one is to believe someone who works at SCEA's words then we won't be seeing too many sales. I'm just glad NIS had some steep discounts for this week to help move some units.

ROTFL. I was laughing a few minutes with this one. Nice knowing you.

OT: Consider this:

Sony wants to combat the thumping it's getting from the DSi. Decides to make a slim version of its PSP. Adopts the mindset to make it download-only in the middle of the game to make it sleeker and meaner.

Realizes their fans will buy anything and praise it, they up the price tag - expect a flood of new cash because you can't buy games in stores - nor can you trade them in - and expect the new system to be a success.

They didn't learn anything - I mean anything from the PS3. It's the games, Sony! It's always been the games! And if people aren't buying the system already, figure out why you need to do to win them over. Keep the UMD format - lower the price - and release a digidownload device next gen.

I have 3 HD-DVD players and 1 Blu Ray player, courtesy of my PS3. I buy HD-DVD versions of movies because they tend to be dirt cheap. I refuse to buy a Blu for 3-5 times more than the price of an HD-DVD. So what if it breaks? Doesn't all electronics break?

I'm not blinded by loyalty to Sony or Microsoft - I see them for what they are. When I get off work, throw a movie in and watch it in 1080P on my LCD, I could care less if the source material is blu or red. I want to see the movie goodness in front of me.

I tell you - why pay $20 for I am Legend - or $20 for Transformers when I can find the same movie for $4-$6? I have 3 HD-DVD players - and like most things, you can always buy another one. And I doubt they'll  break any sooner than my PS3. If I have a Blu Ray, it's played on that. If I have an HD-DVD, I can play it on 3 players, all of which combined cost as much as my PS3.

Some folks do have your logic, but others are stretched thin and look at value and are thrifty. That said, they would rather buy a game and resell it if they don't like it. They can rent a game - yeah, good luck with that with PSP-Go.

The review was definitely on point to me.

Source? I have yet to meet anyone - and I know thousands of folks - who thought the iPhone was dumb and overpriced. I actually know of at least 5 folks who have bought 2 and even 3 iPhones after the screen broke. How old are you?

I still would like to have a PSP Go, in comparison to an iPod Touch it seems priced reasonably. It just seems that the newest version is a noGo compared to existing PSP systems. There are 2 things I wish they would have added, 1.) a touchscreen mostly for WiFi browser support and 2.) I wish it had were a way to legally put a copy of your existing older games on the system, or a way to download games that you have legally purchased.

I still don't know why people bitch about the Go so much, the 3000 VERSION is still available and is cheaper.
Well, i am waiting until Sony drop the price and will get one. Touch Screen is the only i wish it had.
