Forums - Sony - Sony botch PSP Go downloads for European customers

Managing a download-only console may prove harder than Sony first imagined. If you are a European customer who purchased a PSP Go, you were given a voucher for your choice of three games. The problem is that many gamers use their PlayStation 3 to download PSP content, and Sony locked the downloads down to whatever system customers use to grab the content. That means that if you used your PlayStation 3 to download the games, you're out of luck. This isn't the only issue to hinder the PSP Go's momentum.

Gamers are complaining about this issue on the official PlayStation boards, and Sony released a statement about the problem. The solution? There isn't one. A community team member had this to say, "If you download your games to your PS3 first and then attempt to copy the game across to your PSPgo via USB cable you will receive [an] error. We're still investigating this error, so for the moment if you have not yet redeemed your voucher, please redeem and download your games via your PSPgo only. We're still coming up with a solution for those who have redeemed the voucher and are now receiving the error message, and we'll update you as soon as we have a solution for you."

Ars Technica seriously doesn't like PSP GO.

Almost all their article in the past week have been criticizing PSP GO



Yeah, they should be praising it. It costs nearly as much as a PS3 and does less than the PSP-3000 while tying you to a single store (in the UK at least) for downloads that don't even work if you use your PS3 to download them, and you can't buy games second hand or sell the games you no longer want. What's not to like???? lol. They should be pouring love on it! Perhaps you could write an article for Ars, Solid_Snake. I'm sure it would be totally unbiased and a wonderful read.

Yea, like implementing new systems for doing new things seldom causes problems. /sarcasm



Well i orefer the go to the 3000

Shocka i know but what can i say i like quality products



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

That really should have been tested and solved before launch. Another reason to avoid the Go.



this is really strange.. people have been able to copy downloads from ps3 to psp for a while now.... why would it only be for the go?
