It's because Playstation Store isn't available for all contries. The PSP Go's games will be download only, thus people would buy the PSP 3000 instead.

Yes, its true. Anyways, the idea of having a system in which all your games need to be DL'd is just plain stupid.

This thread is a faliure. Pretty sure by the time is comes out whatever few countries don't have PSN will get it. Besides there are other reasons to say why it will fail. If they countries don't have a PSP Go then they proabably won't have the GO come to it. Unless Sony has no common sense and says heres a go, but guess what you can't use it. (doubt they would do that.)

Im not going to buy the PSP go, but that doesn't make it a failure. There is a market out there for such a product, especially in Japan. And im sure more people will warm up to it as the price goes down. Still, i think im going to keep my 2000 series.

I'm pretty sure Sony will expand the network into more countries as the PSP Go is released. But regardless, I'm not buying it since I like my hardcopies for games.

Then how come EA, and all the big publishers are jumping on the iPhone wagon? Maybe for a console it's still not feasible due to the size of the games and download speeds, but for portable gaming devices it doesn't seem stupid. In fact, it seems very lucrative right now.

I think going all digital is a good idea for a portable device. I'll probably only buy Digital games for my PSP from now on because of it, i'm not to attached to portable games so not having a hard copy isn't a big deal for me (at least in terms of the PSP). I want to upgrade to the PSP go but not while its at its current price maybe when it drops in price and they bundle it with a voucher for some game I'm intersted in.

Sony will never make me waste my bandwidth.

Give me hardcopies or memory sticks even.

Perhaps it's... you know... marketed to those countries who have it, and they're going to localize the store to other countries? Maybe this is why they aren't canceling the 3000? Maybe you didn't think this out and you're just pissed?

if it was 32 gb, then it wouldnt even be near the word.

but 16 gb is like 70 dollars. it would cost almost 10 dollars less to buy a 3k and a 16gb micro stick off amazon.

There's bluetooth and who knows what Sony is lining up peripheral-wise. I'm guessing they're going to let PS3 controller+Go connectivity.

Plus some people really appreciate the portability. Just try fitting the PSP in an ordinary pocket.

Wow, it hasn't even been released yet and you already say it's a failure. What else happens in the future? :o
