I hope PSP Go flops HARD. Don't support it!

And I mean that in a nice way. Personally, simply put, going full DD will kill gaming. DD is only good if it comes as a secondary option for gaming (Like PSN & XBLA). Discs & physical media should always be the first option for gaming.

At least this is optional, but if this suceeds, this will only give Sony ideas for them to do it in their next PSP handheld system, maybe on their next PS console. I say, don't support it. I don't know about the rest of you, but to each his/her own.

i wish it was cheaper. 250 is way to much.

It should be $199.99 max.

While your logic is clearly flawless...

If gaming goes entirely download, there whille be no more manufacturing costs, thus allowing more developers to develop more games without the steep investment of manufacturing.

There will be no more hasseling with games stores like EB.

Also the idea of it going entirely downloadinvitable either way, if you dont want to move forward with the times its your problem, no one else should have to limit themselves.

Discs and other physical media are old hat these days, for music as well as videogames

And the price, yes its expensive, but the thing I hate most is the d-pad + analog stick placement (along with the obligatory "no second analog? wtf")

relax dude they are still supporting the psp3000. the go is just for the people who dare to be differentAndrovinus

Playing monster hunter with that piece of crap would be hell...

Anyway, I dont HOPE it flops but i really hope eventually sony realizes no one likes DDL and improves the Go with a UMD slot or something.

The price isn't as bad as the iTouchs, its still too expensive though.

DD is the future and will replace physical media eventually (when that happens is anybodys guess)

Yeah I agree as I don't support DD, also I think Sony needs to learn that charging too much won't work,hopefully two huge failures un a gen will teach them that.

This will be the first hand held I will actually bother to support at all actually.

I would have preferred a PSP Go using a SECOND memory stick for it's games. Also the price is too HIGH. :|

If you don't like it buy a different type of PSP. They aren't dropping the 3000. I don't see why people are complaining. It enhances PSN immensly and is great for people who want more portablilty. It just adds more variety. If you think it is overpriced and want a UMD drive go buy the 3000. It's that simple.

Your post makes no sense, seeing as the pspgo is a secondary option, if you dont want DD they geez, i dont know buy a psp300 and STFU.

im all for it, as long as there is enough storage capacity, because if there isnt then the psp go will have a huge problem.

Actually, I think DD and portable gaming could work well together. The only hurdle would be storage space.SuperNecro

Very true. I love being abel to haul around 3 games or more without carrying cases. I usally Have 1 umd in my psp with at least 2 DD games as of now its prinny umd and kingdom of paradise and RE1 as DD.

It's way too expensive. It's almost the same price as as a Wii.

PSP Go is like a slap in the face to exisiting PSP supporters. People have accepted the new UMD disk format back then, and now are now being told to convert to a new handheld priced like a console.

If the launch library is big enough with good titles, I might just pick it up. But it's unlikely that this will end well.

the psp go is perfect for jogging

I agree that for portables downloading games onto it is perfect. Makes alot of sense for the portability factor of the system. I am completely against doing it for consoles however. I prefer to own a hard copy of any game I have. When and if consoles in the future stop using discs, cartridges, or whatever they use in the future, is the day I stop playing any new games ever again. Plenty of games still to play in this and previous generations. I will completely stop buying any new game if all games become download only.

I'll be the first to admit I hate DD, but I see it having a future with handhelds. Storage shouldn't really be a problem with the Go, and you should be able to delete whatever you have and download it again for free.It should also give a lot of developer's to do what there doing with the Iphone, and that's test out new idea's for cheap without having much risk involved. My only real problem with the Go is the design. It looks pretty good when its closed,but the positioning looks like it might be a problem if your playing for long. It should have a second analog stick,all PSP's should,but it's not like they can just introduce it on the go with out excluding all the people with older PSP, seeing as every developer would use it for every new game,but then every psp there is usless when it comes to new games. If this was the true successor to the PSP then I'd be more then a little upset but it's like the DS Lite or the DSI. The price is a little steep but Sony's said its basically for early adopter's and I'd say that it'll have a price-cut within 6 months or so,depending on how well it sells.

i was hoping the dsi would flop. that is worse then the psp go. but both are a big rip offmonson21502

Except this

1. DSi has a new way for users to input control and it has proven great in games like WarioWare, and Augmented Reality games like GhostWire

2. DSi is a new generation, with new DSi ware games (that infact DSi ware has as many A, AA games this year as the PSP this year) and will have new DSi only games sold at store. New input, new games= new generation also it has new hardware

3. DSi gives you two cameras, new photo editing software, new music software, new exclusive games, better WiFi, SDHC card slot for storage, Bigger Screens, better buttons, plays the stellar DS library which is already much stronger than the PSPs (critically and IMO) and is smaller, has 2-4 the hardware power and is only $40 more.

PSP go adds what, Bluetooth? Its a PSP 3000 with slide out controls and no disc drive

PSP Go is like not taking out the GBA slot but taking out the DS game slot of the DSi.

To be succesful with a DD only platform, You will first need to introduce DD piracy.

Don't worry. It's going to flop Hard....well technically, no one expects it too sell at all, so its not really floping if you expect it to do horribly. So i guess you can say it will flop for Sony. For the rest of the world however...

I'm not going to be buying the thing any time soon, but I want the PSP Go to succeed. I don't want the thing to fail just 'cause I'm not gonna' buy it.

[QUOTE="AgentA-Mi6"]The Psp go has to be the worst idea Sony ever came up with, they could bleed millions when that monstrosity fails, what are these people thinking, piracy is back but DD wont save them one bit, it could slow psp hardware sales like a lethal disease and hurt the attache ratio, which is already small, 5 games last time I checked? I wish they could rethink this garbage and put a damn UMD drive in that "thing" Androvinus

I might get it since I don't have a PSP yet and I want MGS: Peace Walker and GT. Also the small size is a bigbonus for me.

It should be $199.99 max.

but all PSP Go games can be played on a 3000, and there is no new hardware inside the Go that isn't in the 3000

the DSi is more powerful than the DS Lite and there is and will be more games only capable on it and not on DS lite. Same for DS it had better hardware than the GBA and had games not capable on GBA

PSP Go is just a PSP 3000 without a UMD drive. No second analog. It hardly has a chance to replace 3000, unless Sony wants the PSP to sell less than 3 million in NA per year even more.

Nintendo may not make DSi its full blown next generation handheld, but they're at least setting it up to have the chance at it with new user input control methods, new hardware that could show a significant increase if used properly, new memory capacity for game cards on DSi, DLC, all stuff unheard of on DS lite. If Nintendo wants to pull the trigger they can, but perhaps 6 million DSi's sold isn't enough yet.

I'd say the DSi is more the GBC of this DS platform where as the PSP Go, what the Game Boy Micro? But at least the GBM played GBA games without needing an internet connection.

Unless the Go ships with significantly better hardware inside than the 3000, i see no possiblity it would ever turn into a new handheld

Unlike Nintendo, who is at least leaving the door open for DSi to turn into DS2, if given the right amount of sales (and it looks like it will have 15 million or more by next spring)
