PSP Go. Too exspensive? Will it sell?

I just recently saw the Sony press conference and read the article on the psp go. Then I thought: "ok thats all well and good, digital consumer and what not... But isn't $250.00 bucks for a handheld asking too much?" I could buy another wii with that money. On top of that you'll have to buy your games off the playstation network because it doesn't come with the UMD slot. I don't know about you guys but I think I should stick to my fat psp (had it for 4 years already). What do you think? Should we upgrade to the PSP Go or just get a slim or 3000? I do like the design though lol.

I am just wondering that with it having a memory card slot, will they announce that games will be purchased on memory cards just like it's competitor? I hope so, because I would diffently purchase A psp Go, if the games are able to be purchase on memory cards.8)

The PSP is never going to sell as much as the DS, unless Sony makes something revolutionary, which I doubt looking at their track record.

I think it'll sell... Alright. People are going to ask themselves... "Why would I buy a PSP when I can buy a Wii for the same price?"

Expensive.....sure....but I don't hear anyone complaining about the overpriced apple stuff....

I'm tempted, but I was really hoping for a touch screen. I'll be waiting for the first reviews to see if it's a big enough improvement for me. If I had a fat, the answer would be a definite yes. I've got a 3000 though so the answer is ..... maybe.

i think this is trash, it is expansive, and it is ugly, it looks like one of those PMP from china, and it is not as small as the ipod

At least i am getting a PSP3000 instead.

$250 is too much...$200 should have been the price instead.

Since there is no UMD drive, games will cost full price in the PStore, when you can get them cheaper on Amazon, eBay, Half.com, etc in hard copy.

Also, being UMD free the battery should last longer, but no, it will last the same as previous models.

The placement of the analog stick seems uncomfortable being in the middle...

The only good thing that i see about the Go, is the size and thats it.

Gotta go with the PSP3000 :)

I wouldn't buy the PSP go!. IT looks bad, too expensive, NO UMD!!, and a smaller screen. People are better off buying a 3000.SF_KiLLaMaN

Exactly, whats on my mind. :)

yes.and yes

another psp go thread... and the endless moaning and complaining continues.. there was an exact thread like this on page 2 from yesterday, and here we are with a new thread about the price issue. its 250$ deal with it. don't buy it, no one is forcing you. i am not buying it since i am happy with my psp2000. psp go has nothing new to offer to mer, so i will wait till they do have something for me to offer. i don't care if they jacked the price to 400$. if i needed that product and did not own a psp ya i would complain too. but they already have options available. get the psp 3000 if you don't want to spend 250.

No it wont, and i certainly hope it fails. A Sony Spokesperson in a recent interview even admitted there ripping off the consumers at this price.

Please provide a link of this because if a Sony spokesman did say this he probably isn't a spokesman anymore

Personally, It looks amazingly comfortable to hold in your hand, unlike all of the past portable consoles, apart from the original GameBoy Advance. For this reason, I will buy one.ermPSPgamer

Give me a name and a link to the interview.

Let me predict the future... Sony hardcore fanboys will buy it day one, then about 2 months after, there will be a price drop. This happens with all Sony systems. They sell only to the Sony fanboys right away, then move a while after and lower the price.

Since there's no UMD slot, I'm on the wall with the PSP Go. I won't know if I'm interested in it at all until I hear more info on ho Sony will let current PSP owners get the games they own on UMD back- since I've heard they're working on something for that. It'll undoubtedly cost us SOMETHING- but as long as it's cheaper than re-purchasing everything...

Even if Sony has a good plan for that though- I won't be getting a PSP Go anytime soon- not until my PSP-2000 dies probably.

Since we live in a digital age it will most likely sell. But I sense a few issues with the early ones.3DGENERATION

i wouldnt buy it lol but itll sell (look at the numbers ppl rally for sony ppl actually died trying to get a ps3 and hardcore sony fans will shell out the money for a 250 dollar device that has no advantages over its predecessor i could get 2 16 gb ms for less

there is something that a lot of you guys are overlooking here. a lot of times in my history owning a psp, when i went to the store, i did not find the game i went there for cuz they did not have it in stock. with the download its always in stock! but ya, if you have the money and the need for a psp go then it isnt bad at all. i go login to psn, get the game fast and good to play instead of looking around trying to find the game at different stores. ppl who can afford the 250$ can afford a good internet connection that will support fast download.

I don't understand why people get mad when there are multiple threads on similar topics----WHO THE HELL CARES! It's not like it's taking up precious space on the forum or it's taking anythinig away from anyone. If you really don't want to contribute anything, then ignore the thread, in a few hours, it'll be in the next page or two. Relax, it's just a thread and will most likely repeat itself again, and again esp. when the release date gets closer.
