PSP Go will go

Personally, I thnk the $400 price tag is just so expensive and not worth it. The smaller screen makes me wonder why I should buy it and the awkward no UMD drive makes me doubt it. Apart from these points it'll be a good system, but currently I'm sticking with my PSP 3000.

The psp go seems to have aroused an aura of hatred around sony. People seem to hate the damn thing lol. Is it that bad? I personally prefer my psp 3000, but what is so bad about the go?Resistance_Kid

Well let's see, it costs an insane 250$. Sony has said there is going to be no UMD trade program. So on top of the price of the system I would have to buy all my games over again because the Go does not have a disc drive. Not to mention the wait for Sony to even put the games I have up on the PSN.

for someone that already has a PSP, the Go offers no reason whatsoever to get it. Unless you really want to plunk down the cash just so you dont have to carry your UMD's around with you.

Yeah. The go has been getting a LOT of hatred over the past weeks. But I'm still getting one, that way I will have 2 PSPs. A regular one and a go.

I have a Go and I love it, I don't know what's wrong with everyone else lol

Yeah I looked through that and most of it was mindless fanboy ranting, the only points I would agree with were; Lower price (maybe $50 cheaper), and standard memory stick slot (not a fan of M2). That's about it.

Yeah I'm a newcomer for PSP, but my real question is. Why should the current psp owners care and keep complaining about it when they have a perfectly good system already? Is it going to change anything? No. All I'm going to say is, I love the Go. Yes it has it's ups and downs but I like it and that's all that matters, and I don't care what the other fanboys think.

Every body complaining about the price. I bought my PSP 1000 six months after launch for over $350. Thats expensive!! In countries like the UK and Austrailia, they are paying more.

The money you get for your games is a joke. You get FA for them!! I was gonna get under a dollar for my Madden 08 and NHL 08 PS3 games lolz!!

Looks like downloading is going to be the future for my PSP. :)

I don't hate the Go. In fact, I think I'm going to buy a PSP 3000 and a PSP Go at the same time just as soon as my debts are paid off. Only $7400 more to go!

Why both? Big PSP for home, can play all games, UMD and download, Go for lunch breaks at work and other events away from home. I just can't decide. Why not get both? :)

I have both and it's definitely the way to go.

I like when people complain about the Go and they don't even have one. :roll:

If it was $199, had the vast majority of the PSP game library on it, and Sony followed through on the UMD conversion program it would probably be a pretty popular alternative to the 3000 right now.

There's not many problems with the Go for newcomers -the price, not having access to all games, no trade-ins, discounts, or rentals-, but for the people who already have a PSP, it's almost a 100% downgrade. Sony gives you no reason to trade up your current model for a Go.fail_baby

The Pspgo is an alternative.

Sony can't win - Apple are doing well with the ipod due to it being portable and download content.

PSP give yoy two options - PSP 1000 through to 3000 PSP / UMD & chunky.

So Sony makes a PSPGO portable & download content only.

I have had all the models and in todays world of on the go, I prefer the PSPGO. The main word I prefer, you may not.

I don't get how everyone is so negative? Is it sony customers or gameboy/ipod lovers comments?

The price I guess was the big surprise, I did expext it to be max £150 - £175.

But as per an earlier post its comparable to the Ipod/I Touch.

They did a PS3 again lol

Bad launch ftw! Expensive, no games, removed some important feature etc. :D
You'd think sony would lern by now
