Forums - Sony Discussion - The PSP Go was a MAJOR flop. We need to talk about it.

The only thing that is wrong with PSP Go is the pricetag.

I still bealieve that it was a wasted opportunity... selling it at 150$ would have created a new era in handheld gaming... too bad



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

I agree.

 

For the longest time everyone would whine about UMDs and how they kill battery life and how they load too slow, yadda yadda.

Now they took out the UMD and people whine about not having the UMD anymore.

 

PSP Go is nice and I would have no issue picking one up but the $250 tag is a big time rip-off.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

See what I don't get is why didn't Sony use the money spent making the Go and simply use that money on building the PSP2?

Since when did anyone ask for 'premium' model of the PSP?

psp2? what for? more graphics? ds graphics look really really bad and people buy tons and tons of hardware .i repeat sony should leave the handheld market. hardcore gaming and handhelds are a bad combination



I didn't like the psp because it was too large and had a umd drive. I wanted something that was more of a handheld device, something that actually could fit in your pocket and something that you didn't need to bring hard copies of your games around with it. But as a mini-ps2 it's awesome.

I've played the psp, and loved it. God of War is incredible on it, so is burnout, very addictive. Even loco roco.

But I love the idea of the psp go, smaller, lighter and no UMD drive. Sadly it is horribly overpriced. They mixed up the old slogan "More for less" and got it backwards.



Going all digital is fine, it's worked with the iPhone so far. Sony needs a PSP Phone. Whats the point of being download only, if I can't download from anywhere? Needing a Wifi connection to download is limiting

Compare the PSPGo to the iPhone, and the difference is clear. For $199 you get an MP3 player, movie player, 100,000 apps, Phone, Videogame Player, GPS device, touchscreen, etc.

The PSPGo cost $249, you get an mp3, video player, and you get to play games. But first you have to convert the video into something ridiculous.

They need to leverage the PSN the way Apple has leveraged iTunes. I mean, Sony owns music and movie studios!! Combine that with the excellent first party games, and I'm not sure why their not raking in the cash. Oh yeah...they make stupid pricing points and confining propriatory connections.

Seriously, Sony's proprietory plugins and sd-cards need to END! I've avoided a lot of their cameras due to the proprietary stuff. Geez, what are these guys thinking?



i made a thread stating this before the thing come out, its simply the worse deal i can think of
