Isn't this an issue with digital rights, and that Sony has very little control over these third-party games in that sense? I've seen it explained before but I didn't take notes.

Seriously, I don't understand the anger at Sony or the hardware they have produced. Sony has put up several hundred games for download, and more will come. There will be a day where everyone laughs at these early days of poor supply vs. demand... I understand that not being able to get a few titles is frustrating, but isn't there something that's been issued which would hold your attention until "Dissidia" is released? Sony probably has to iron out a whole bunch of garbage in order to satisfy Squenix' legal needs and cut of the profit. Sony has already made mistakes like the "Undead Knight" demo snafu, probably because someone rushed or was not paying attention, and they accidentally gave away lots of full copies of the game. LOTS of copies.

Can you imagine what would happen if that were a super-popular title like "Dissidia"? It would be disasterous for Sony. They can't run before they learn how to walk, friends. You Go owners are the pilgrims, the early adopters... this happens to just about everyone who jumps on a new platform.

Show a little faith in the money you've spent... things will get better. If you don't like that approach, perhaps petition Sony directly. But popping a cork here on GameSpot is going to have very little effect on Sony. Start an online petition, perhaps. There are sites for that, and you may develop the momentum you desire in terms of motivating the corporation in your direction.

This is all fine and dandy, however, digital distrbution rights aside, we've already been told (by Sony, no less, in their list of PSP Go promises pre-launch, some of which they have already failed upon)that all PSP releases post Go Launch would be both digital and UMD, aside from select titles that will be UMD only and never see a digital release and digital only releases that will never see UMD release. But that would lead any PSP Go owner to reasonably assume that most major future releases would be available onPSN the week they are released. That would lead me to believe that digital ditribution rights have been secured with MOST companies.

This is not to mention that Dissidia was already reported to be "digital" ready long before it's launch. And now we're in week 2 of the PSP Go and they've failed to deliver yet again with a title, and a few others to boot, that should have been on the storeon the 1st of October. So really, tell me again whose failing to deliver?

I'll answer for you. Sony.

Anyone who has a Go has every right to be upset with Sony, they spent a lot of money on their hardware and were promiseda lot of games, its not fair for them to keep waiting like this for certain titles that were supposed to be delivered from the launch til today. Im holding out til i buy a psp go but im already upset that Sony is still ****ing things up and that it's conceivable that PSP Go will never have as full a library as the UMD psps will have. Its upsetting knowing some games will NOT come to digital distribution.DangerHiVoltage

Can you provide us with a link where Sony promised various games on a given date? I ask because I don't know, not to sound combative. If we could see proof that Sony promised "Dissidia" or "CCore" or fill-in-the-blank title, that would help. The only gameI ever remember hearing a promise for was Gran Turismo at launch... I think they were pretty unspecific as to how the other releases would go but that they would be dong it as soon as all channels were cleared and a title could be reliably distributed through PSN.

Look, I'm no fan of Sony's treatment of the community over the years (I've just yesterday had my 5th or 6th - can't remember - PS2 take a plotz) and I am as wary as anyone about getting stung by their whim... but the hardware has been out for a few weeks and there are a few hundred games out, not to mention the PS1re-issiue catalogue and minis. As far as the Go ever having the exact same options as a UMD PSP in terms of library, well, we all knew that months and months ago when it was announced. There was no way on earth they were going to mess around with certain fringe titles and not-so-best sellers... it's completely logical. And again, we knew it a long time ago. If you bought a Go with the intention of playing, say oh I don't know - "REEL FISHING: The Great Outdoors", you're going to be waiting awhile or conceivably forever, because it's just not that high in demand now, f it ever was. IF you used to be a UMD'er and you traded in your hardware for a Go, then I'm sorry... but that's the gamble you took by getting rid of the system which you KNEW would play your old favorites as well as the new frontier in favor of the fresh gizmo.

It's hardly like they've played the Bait & Switch, or a game of Three Card Monty in the subway... There have been no promises broken here, not to my eye. You've got a great new piece of hardware, stop undermining everyone's (and your own) confidence in the thing and let it grow into it's place a little.

Patience, Grasshopper.

Lawd this is not about the Go anymore, it is about Sony and the PSN/PSP store.

Yes they promised do I really need to tell you that ? because we allready had this discussion in another thread you surprise me Stone3henge.

Nobody said anything about specific games but I think we expected the majority of the 2009 titles with a decent update every week and if there is digital right issues then ( as I have said before ) it is something that should have been solved before October 1st, no excuses.

Lol we on the portuguese psn got prinny: can I really be the hero for 39.99 €, for that price, I buy the UMD version, lol cheaper.

Wile on the US psn it's only $19 lol sony you're doing it wrong...

It was on special for $9.99 a couple of weeks ago. The fact that US and EU stores have different prices for the same games is rediculous. Especially considering there's no shipping, handling or any of those hard copy distribution issues to worry about.

Heya Monkey... read my post again, I asked with all reverance because I honestly could not find the facts and I wished to be enlightened, not to take a pot-shot at someone or be argumentative. I am not arguing with Go owners, I'm simply asking questions which others might have more informed answers to than I.

My point was whether or not Sony had indeed put specific dates on bigger titles like the FF games... if that was the case then yes, I would be ticked too... but if not, then I'm sure as a Go owner you might agree that a bit of patience is a good thing. Sony isn't trying to rip anyone off, and I'm sure they don't want to offend their user-base... I just think it's harsh how so many people are so quick to remove their nose just to spite their face. Even though I don't personally want to buy one anymore, I still believe that this model is the future of gaming (downloading instead of hard-copy of games)...

I think you as a consumer have a right to raise an eyebrow, but I also think that if you let the song play out you'll dig the dance eventually. As I think I've posted before, in a room full of horse-poop, you gotta keep lookin' for the pony. For this platform to succeed, there needs to be a little optomism.

:D

And I think it's funny as the day is long that they issued "REEL Fishing: The Great Outdoors"... I might even buy a Go now!!! That's really cool... more than a few titles I have put up on wish lists here have come to fruition... like "Fishing" and the PS1 title "PANDEMONIUM!" which is one of the finest platformers EVER.

Monkey I'm all about the peace & love lately... the mods gave me a five-day time-out for my last early morning rant and I've learned to be a good little Ston3.

;)

No disrespect to anyone concerning my commentary on the issue, I just see a brighter future than a lot of Go owners do, currently... but I'm sure if those folks stay the course, they will find that pony eventually.

That's all fine and dandy. But, that sounds alot like Sony's approach to the PSP Go and the PSN store. "Just be patient. Just give it time dudes! You'll learn to love it!"

Honestly? No. Whether or not it's the "future of digital gaming" is really a moot point since the iPhone already has that cornered. Sony is coming a bit late in the game on this one and they HAVE to get on the ball. Consumers aren't going to make the Go succeed or fail. Sony has that power alone here by either their diligence in updating the PSN withan impressive catalogue, or complete lack of "go get em tiger" attitude. They need to be aggressive with their catalogue now.

I imagine Go owners are very optimistic. I know I am and continue to be. However, we also set our expectations very high on what we consider "bleeding edge" digital gaming technology. The technology has been there. The games have been there. The US EU AUSPSN's have been there and still we're dozens of titles behind the JPSN. And as I said before, Dissidia was designed with digital distribution in mind, but where is it? They've had these grand dreams of this all digital device for a while now. The thing has been in concept for well over a year now as it was leaked at the beginning of calendar 09. You're telling me they didn't plan any better for this than "Well, we'll figure it out as we go along."? Seriously, screw Sony to hell if that's the best they can do. Digital distribution should have been figured out by now. I can count on one hand how many "best-selling" titles are on the PSN for PSPright now. It's seriously pathetic. There's a WEALTH of backcatalogue PSX games out there and some of the biggest ones we haven't even heard word one about!

Either way, I really hope Sony has some decent PSN suprises in for PSP Go owners because so far the current outlook doesn't necessarily suck, but it sure is cloudy and I don't see many ponies in this fog of confusion.

If I were a good company, you know, like Sony? I'd at least go "Hey guys, we know the last few updates haven't been what they could have been, and we're sorry about the delay of some great PSP titles, but we promise, things are coming along. There's some great updates coming. We promise you'll be glad you bought your Go."

That would make me feel a ton better. But do they think like a consumer? No. Dollar sign, bottom line.

As a fanboy I wish the PSPgo succes too I just wont advocate it as I think the system has too many flaws, but hey that is just me. What can I say but raise my opinion as you should too cause that is what the forum is somewhat about right ? Anyway it is all good from Sony to the PSP hood.
