PSP Go due Holiday 2009 ??

According to numerous "reports" & "rumors" the new PSP will be out later this year....but I couldnt help to notice that also we have couple of new PSP 3000 bundles will also be out later this year such like the Assassin Creed and Hannah Montana Bundle.....

So will these bundles be cancelled since Sony is supporting this new UMD-less PSP ??

I highly doubt this "new" psp will be out this year but again whos more bold than Sony....>_>

What do you guys think ?

Screw PSP Go. I'm enjoying my PSP Slim and will keep it for awhile. A whole bunch of games coming out this year and next, why bother with a new PSP?

Im in the same boat just like you but these new games might only be download only like PP2 to support their new "UMD-LESS" business model.....

Its a rumor. A rumor that has been talked to death.. :|

Well let's just hope we can get hard copy's for original PSP's and slims/3000's.Chiddaling

I think Sony is still smart enough to continue its support to the 50 million UMD based PSP sold worldwide ^^

If Patapon has gone downloadable only how many other games will? Like previous posts. I dont see why Sony is now looking at making a new portable machine with all these great games out by the end of the year.

Am i the only one that reckons PSP Go is a ridiculously stupid name?

geez PSP 2 sounds better than that

If the next iteration of the PSP is UMD less, I'm assuming that the old PSPs will be able to download the new games and play them just fine. That means I'll buy a larger memory stick instead of buying a whole new system.

I put more though into that if and when we get confirmation of something new.

I like the new PSP design, but I don't like that (it seems anyway) you can only buy games by downloading them.
Call me old-fashioned, but I need a hard copy of a game in my hands.
I don't like trusting my gaming library to a sensitive harddrive or similar storage media.
Plus, I just like havinga mighty collection to display.

I'm not stating my opinion untill there's an official announcement.

I really want to know how will Sony deal with customers have limited internet access....how are they going to get new PSP games if theres no internet ocnnection ?

Am I missing something obvious...?

You guys are asking why would anyone buy the PSP GO? I would! I expect it'll have better storage size and processing power to play bigger games with better graphics... my fingers are crossed for Oblivion Travels...

and what of your old umds? i mean people that trade in their psp 3000 2000 1000 whatever will have no backwards compatability for their umds rendering all of their games useless unless they hang on to their old psp and purchase a psp go! and pay out the full $200 or whatever it will cost. And believe me that will be few people with how scarce money is now, i mean of course you'll have the spoiled brats whose parents will buy them anything to not have to spend time with them but for someone like me with rent, car payments, credit card bills, ect its not practical to expect people to shell out another $180+ for a new system with no backwards compatability.

Plus my biggest problem which is now can you eliminate the used game market? That would be the worst idea ever. What happens if you shell out $40 for a new game and hate it? your stuck sorry you cant even get the $20 gamestop would have given you. What if you beat a game that you liked but has 0 replay value? Sorry either delete it for room in your memory or hang onto it and never play it again. Just doesn't make any sense to me.

Not to mention if sony keeps putting out updated hardware like this no1 is going to want to buy anything from them because they know it will soon be outdated.

perhaps they can go to a starbucks or mcdonalds or even a school since they have free wifi, or they could put a machine into gamestops/ebgames/gamecrazys etc that will allow u to buy from there to.

but if ur talking about people who dont have wifi u can go to the psn store on pc and send stuff over via usb cable.

The internet cafe` idea sounds good for anyone who doesn't have an internet connection, but the dl times are still pretty ridiculous... If they sped up dl times somehow this would be less of an issue. I'm really hoping Sony isn't going to screw over everyone with a UMD-less console like Nintendo is screwing over non-DSi'ers with 'DSi exclusive' games and whatnot.

I thought the decision on the game being Download-only or UMD is decided by the developers........ I really hope Sony will keep support rest of us UMD based psp players worldwide.

How many PSPs have SONY released? How do they expect PSP buyers to buy a console when a new one comes out every year or two? Seriously, they should settle down with a console.
