Purchase a pspgo between 2/18 and 3/21 and get a free game - Ur thoughts?

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/02/pspgo-in-game-promotion-code-available-now/

Purchase a go between Thursday, February 18, 2010 and Sunday, March 21, 2010 and you get 1 of 2 games, LittleBigPlanet or Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines.

Thoughs?

Looks like Sony is really pushing for the go. Instead of doing this, they should focus on updating the Psn imo. But it is still a good deal for those people still on the edge about getting a go or 3000.

Oh wow...And I bought a 3000. -.-

This is awesome. I need to upgrade from my launch model PSP 2000 (It's in it's last legs now) and I hate UMDs.

On a side note: Why do people hate the PSP Go?

DUDE I DON'T CARE, PSP 3000 IS STILL SUPERlOR = FACT.

According to Amazon prices, you could buy the limited edition PSP-3000+AC:B bundle as well as LBP and your total would still come to less than the PSPGo alone.

Still not enough to buy a Go.

they are focusing their marketing in the wrong area. instead of giving free games, they need to make PSN more competitive. How about adding every single UMD that came out and will come out on PSN and reducing the prices of older games so they match retail prices or amazon. Paying the full price of 39.99 for a lousy game that came out years ago, is why I personally will never buy a PSP go. On top of that not having the full library available on PSN and have to wait for games to be added on PSN all depending on SONY's discretion, just limits the customers. I rather stick to my PSP 2000, which can benefit both downloading from PSN or buying a UMD that is on sale. There are so many threads that have been created about the PSP go. I can't believe people still ask the same questions over and over about which PSP is better choice, or why people don't like PSP go.

I'm certain there are legal reasons that prevent them from releasing every game. Unless DD was something 3rd party publishers had to agree to from the very beginning. There is no excuse I can think of for the pricing though.

I already know the legal issues behind it. SONY needs to get 3rd party permission before they can release those developers games' on PSN, and some companies won't give Sony the permission. So their hands are tied. Thing is why should we as consumers care? That is SONY's problem. They should have said before the PSP GO was released that not all games will be available on PSN. It's misleading consumers by not telling them that the entire library is not available on PSN. Lot of customers find out the hard way (which is partially their fault for not researching first). Anyway, I am happy that I never jumped the bandwagon and stayed with my PSP 2000. I rarely play that anyway these days.

If you picture a blind person sitting in a pitch-black room facing the wrong direction signing to a deaf person in that same dark room in Portuguese when the deaf person only speaks Dutch, and you have a decent comparison for Sony's inept handling of the handheld system since it's inception. The Go is no exception to this rule, it would seem. But it's not some nefarious plot hatched by Sony in evil backroom deals... that would be ascribing the execs FAR too much intelligence.

No, this is just more fumbling about, like a teenage boy tryin' to unhook his first bra clasps... fumble, guess, fumble some more, and end up looking foolish and inexperienced, and disappointing both parties involved, ultimately.

and i wll get to that link you provided

They're getting desperateSoAmazingBaby

Seeing as how you can still buy the 3000 and both these games for less, this action hardly seems desperate enough.

will u say the PSPgo is a flop?PSP107

I'd say Sony's current strategy for it is a flop. The consumer doesn't see the Go as worth its premium over the PSP-3000. Especially when it can't play retail games. And charging full price for a DD game (eg. Secret Agent Clank) when its retail counterpart is much less makes matters worse. (a DD game shouldn't even cost as much as a retail game in the first place)

DD = Digitally Distributed

lol, I own a PSP 1000 (yep it's old) so I won't be getting a new PSP till my old one dies off. Even if that happens I'm waiting for a PSP 2.

should have done this when the go came out. I have had my go since launch and feel cheated because of early adoption.

Yes, Sony should have done this right off the bat here in North America. Sometimes, people don't understand that Sony doesn't have the same strategy in each region or parts of the world. I do agree with an earlier post, PSP Go is not yet a flop, their plans and strategy is.

It has been updated on Joystiq, that the game you will receive will be based on your age in your PSN account. If you are 17 or older you automatically get AC, otherwise you automatically get LBP. What another silly way to cut your throat Sony.

Giving a free game was a good idea, it adds value. Taking away feedom of choice for said game is a bad idea. I can see wanting to make sure that the game is age appropriate, but then why not offer twonon M ratedgames like LBP and Motorstorm.

didnt the psp go already come with rockband unplugged on relase date?

psp go is the worst ever!M0nk3yGamer1001

Sounds like Sony is real desperate at the moment.

I still don't understand why would Sony make their product so much money. The fact that many people don't have an extra 250 laying around to spend on a PSP go, when they can get a 300 for much cheaper, or a ps3 for $50 more. Sony giving a free game is showing that they want to push sells but I don't think it will catch on, when there are so many other poratable devices around these days.
