what would it take for you to buy a psp go?

so i've been hearing about the possibility that sony may be gearing up to do a relaunch of the psp go, i mean i hope its a re-launch the lack of mention of the go lately by sony means 1 of 2 things: re-launch, or complete abandonment. so what would sony have to do to make the psp go a good purchase?

i own a go but i feel that sony needs to drop the price at least 50$ and make at least 90% of the psp game catalog available on the psn (being realistic here).

If I could go to the store buy a physical copy and receive a digital copy as well then I wouldn't have a problem with the go. What happens to all your content if Sony goes bankrupt or 20 years from now will you still be able to re download the games? I collect my games so the Psp go isn't a welcome edition to my games/console collection.Fightingfan

Yeah, I understand that part I'm a collector too.

If sony could add a umd port with that slim design and still look nice with a $50 price drop. I'd be willing to buy one.

it would have to be REALLY cheap. I tried one at Bestbuy, didnt like how it felt in my hand. I prefer my psp2000 by a ton.

What would make me buy a go?

Perhaps a Totalitarian police state where we had to show our Go in order to pass the checkpoint? If it were a matter of life or death, perhaps...

... like NAZI GERMANY.

you sir must have some tiny hands and I already have a go I considered it at launch ,but that tag was a little to high for me. Then they went ahead with that 3 games deal and I figured well my 2000 I already had to repair the UMD drive (tin foil for the win) and I only own 4 UMDs why not. And I love it its more portable and comfortable it looks better its so nice not caring UMDS

Better PSN support. Although some people still wouldn't buy it since they still prefer actual physical copies of games.

$150 price drop!! i dont really have a beef with the go. i mostly bought a psp for classicps1 rpgs on the go.

It's a sexy little beast of a piece of hardware, no argument. But, I have a 16G card so I carry the same amount of games you do and then I have the option of a few UMDs... I just don't get it. And now we're having the same conversation in two threads. Fan-Tastic.

You know what? You win. I'll buy one just to stop getting caught in threads like this!

:lol:

Peace. This is officially the last post I will make in a Go oriented thread until I actually own one... so...

... never, I suppose.

Been fun while it lasted. Seriously, enjoy. I don't hate the hardware, I simply don't understand it. And I STILL say that the kid in the commercials is speaking a half-truth when he holds up the PSP and says there are 500 games available. If he's holding up a Go, that's boarderline actionable as false advertizing. If it's a 3000, then he's legal.

Guess I'm watching the press conference again, I gotta know which model he's holding as he says that about the available library... because there is no way the Go has over 500 titles available. No Way.

Anyway, I'm out. Much respect.

:D

More games. I only have seven UMD games and I'll never get another one as long as I can download them. Although, I'm too tight on money to actually buy a system I already have.

Yeah, that's the only way I would ever consider a PSP Go. I want to actually own some part of my games. With DD you're merely paying to lease the content for an indefinite period of time. If Sony goes under, as you say, or even if they just lose interest in the video game market, no one is obligated to continue to support their digital service.

It would have to be 150 or less and they'd have to let me somehow download my hard copies of games I have. If we could register them on the site and receive a unique download code I'd be all over the PSP Go, or at least much more open to buying it.

I've been considering getting a PSP Go for a while now, and the main thing stopping me is that I just don't feel confident that after the sales disaster that this thing appears to be, that Sony will continue to support it in the years to come. I can definitely see the PSP Game section of PSN disappearing when the next PSP comes out, thus making the system a brick limited to whatever games you already bought.w00tcolors169

I dont see any of this happening these digital downloads make them a pretty good profit and honestly how many psp games are you really gonna go back to 20 years from now when sony goes under do to Nintendo taking over the **** universe

Well I still play my twenty year old Game Boy games. I'd still be playing my NES games too if I still had them [and an NES]. And I know there are people who still play their Atari 2600 games.

no i have big hands actually, so the little pspGo felt too small. not comfortable at all. the psp2000 fits just right IMO. and you dont HAVE to carry around UMDs with a psp2000 either. They have access to the SAME playstation store. Its good that some people like the GO, but I honestly wouldnt buy one for $50, because my psp2000 works great. and I dont like getting ripped off on digital download games. UMDs used = WAY cheaper.

if they were to update the console with a UMD drive then i would buy one in a heartbeat.

Had one sold it.

primary concern? future support for the PSN store looked shaky, and the dry up of the past titles showing up on the PSN store.

I mean i don't mind the price of the games really.

but its

The library - including hte past library (as much as humanely and licensingly possible)

and

Be like Steam in that your aggressive in your sales to ensure two things.... software sales, and brand loyalties.. not only to the service but also to the games available (publishers/ developers)....

Nothing, I honestly do not like the design.Flame_Blade88

If it was a dollar and had Phantasy Star Portable 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3 max and some other choice games preloaded in it.
