It takes memory stick micro, too?  I thought PSP only accepted MemoryStick ProDuo because of the faster speed?  Which by the way is made by SanDisk and others as well as Sony.  And which are now really cheap.

Spewing around "justified" HATE isn't a bannable offense.

Seriously accept it now Leo-J

SONY absolutely messed up with the PSP GO, both sales around the world, reactions from retailers & everything points towards this.

Sucker. Yeah, take it back - thats the smart move.

Only on the price; they want a good profit on each unit sold the first few months to early adopters.  Most people who hold one think that it's badass.

This thread is disgusting, as Sony isn't the worst offender this gen with proprietary accessories and the OP should have known what memory formats were available before purchasing the Go and then making this thread.

Agreed....

but either way they HAVe messed up, they should expect hate

besides this hate is NOTHING like the hate PS3 got in 2006/2007

Bleh. I'm eying the PSP Go for the same reasons disolitude is, except I don't even have a PSP or a Zune, so I want it more. 16GB doesn't sound like enough for me (preferably would want twice that), if only it supported Micro SD...

Proprietary formats definitely do suck. This includes this Sony crap, 360 HD's, or even the memory cards of older gen systems. Imagine Nintendo used their own memory for the DS / Wii instead of the standard SD cards - that's pretty much how I feel about this.

I'll still pick it up eventually (after a price drop or some revision), but with just a few changes they could have definitely got me to pay the full $250 for the PSP Go, which is what kind of disappoints me.

it is annoying for your new toy......that you have to spend even more........

but it sounded like you might want to keep it......so why don't you sleep on it......maybe keep it....sell the other two and buy this new card(can you buy second hand one).....you never know you might like the pspgo in the end.....

i know very little about small gadgets by the way........

big companys and women are all the same....they just want your money....

I don't mind people getting angry at the price... but honestly... that's the only thing there is to be upset about... And if you don't like it, go with the 3000.

The PSPGo is EXACTLY what consumers were asking for.

UMD sucks - They removed it
Online Distribution is the future - We'll, since you think so we'll focus on that.
Why can't it have a HDD!? I don't like this memory stick biz - They gave you 16GB internal
Should have had Blu-Tooth! This IR port isn't even used!!! - Taken cared of.
This thing is a joke to use as an MP3/iPod - Fixed

PSPGo Releases:

PHAIL!!!
No UMD??? WTF was SONY thinking???!!!
Online Distribution sucks!!!

The solution:

Don't buy it. Complaining on the internet and calling SONY idiots for it won't help. It's the reason why the PSPGo is here in the first place. To the people who prefer the 3000, if you don't already have one, GET ONE.

PSP Go is the xbox 360 of the portable world...

Given this is about the memory stick I'll mention that my brother was burgled and had a digital camera and digital video camera stolen. He went to do his shopping courtesy of the insurance company and eventually rejected buying Sony because of the stupid memory stick thing, even though the Sony equipment was in the right price bracket and what he got was slightly lesser quality than the Sony product. That's ~$2000 (NZD) revenue Sony has missed out on because of their continued support for their own memory format. Had Sony supported SD memory cards my brother would have got the Sony cameras for sure.

Sony should have ditched their attempt to introduce a new memory card standard a long time ago. It is inevitable that storage media pretty much always collapses down to a single standard eventually and Sony isn't big enough in this area to eliminate SD, which every other electronics company is supporting.

They lost with Betamax, they won with Blu-ray, take your lumps with memory stick. You can't win 'em all.
