Looks like its getting a few more reviews against it, and not just for the features but the fact that backwards compatibility is completely missing. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/02/sony.pspgo.review/index.html

It's not like Sony gave them a reason to be happy for Playstation, and the PSP Go is just another product that doesn't benefit the consumer.

It's all justified imo.

Honestly, the PSP Go is a piece of crap. It's so ridiculously expensive for what it is and what little new stuff it offers (i.e. nothing)

I've hated the PSPgo all along, i think it was a horrible idea to make all the games for it only available via DD, and it was a bad idea to not allow people with UMDs to use them in it.

I wouldn't mind a slightly larger Go if it had a UMD drive. But it needs to support the medium its games are on if it's a true upgrade. Splitting your userbase into disc-based and digital-only just seems like a bad idea anyway.

Exactly. It doesnt matter where a product is generated, if it has it's benefits than the media will favour it.

PSP Go would be great if it were cheaper and had a bigger hard drive. In a world where people don't mind paying upwards of $300 for an Ipod, you'd think people would be more favorable with the PSP product line in general. It's got a good MP3 player, one of the best handheld movie players with a good screen, good speakers for the size, big name franchise games with pretty good graphics, expandable memory, web browser, remote play w/PS3, and a bunch of other features. It's expensive compared to other handheld gaming consoles like the DS, but it's a good deal compared to most handheld multimedia devices on the market... which is honestly what the PSP truely is. I would actually buy a PSP Go if it had a bigger hard drive... I need lots of room for my 17,000 songs which is about 90 gb by itself, and with only 16 gb on the PSP go I'd have to go through and pick songs to put on it which is a pain in the ass IMO. Also, the games probably take up alot of space as it is... so I'd most likely have to spend extra money on a memory stick just to have a good amount of room.

I don't know, if I were Sony, they should make a way to register your already bought games on the PSN store, so you can download them for free, if you've already bought the game. Like if it has a unique serial ID on the UMB games or something. Oh well, that'd have been the smart thign to do, I supposed they just want the extra sales right now.

The older iPod classics/videos were $299 MINIMUM and they sold like hot cakes.
