Got this from Cheapassgamer.com site. The PSP Go is already selling for $199.99 at Fry's. I didn't realize that all new games aren't required by Sony to make the game downloadable on the PSN. This is an Epic fail of system. This dealhas been confirmed by members on Cheapassgamer.com.

http://newspaperads.mercurynews.com/...id=32664&type=

Also, here is the link of the article stating that New games aren't required by Sony to have the game being downloadable on PSN.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/16/third-parties-not-required-to-release-psp-games-on-playstation-s/

Here is the CAG thread for confirmation of deal.

Games not being required to be downloadable off PSN is even more of a reason NOT to get a Go.

Yeah, I just don't see the point of the PSP Go anymore. I mean unless people just want style over substance.

If you are going to get a PSP dont get the PSPGo. The price is outrageous and downloadable games only is pretty awful.

I saw the PSPGo at the Sony store in my mall last weekend. It looks really nice in real life and it's surprisingly light. I think it's a good system if you have never owned a PSP and have a lot of cash to spare.


Now, if you already own an older version of the PSP or aren't doing very well financially, it's definitely not worth it seeing as you have to rebuy all your games and the PS3 is only $50 more.

Yeah, especially when they are debating about that ECA membership validity. Inside joke for people who frequent the site.

If you think it's expensive in America think again.

It's £199.99 in the UK.

If I didn't already have one of the PSPs and was going to get one, I wouldn't mind getting this for $199. That seems pretty good to me.

Pfft. Even at that price I wouldn't buy a PSP Go.

PSP 3000 + 16GB Memory stick FTW!

This is an Epic fale of system.

3rdbass

Yes, it really is... but don't you mean "Fail"?...

Also, I still don't think it's worth $199.

There is no reason why the PSP Go shouldn't be cheaper or the same price as the 3000.

Well, that's just one of the dozens of reasons why I wouldn't waste my money on a PSP Go. I'm very happy with my original PSP that plays all UMD's and all PSN downloadable game content. Sony blew it when they created the PSP Go. They didn't even add any better features over the original PSP. Wow.. the screen flips. Whooppidee-Doo!! My DS Lite screen flips too. lol!! The fact that new games are coming out on UMD and not on digitial download is a huge loss for Sony and anyone foolish enough to purchase a PSP Go.

Me either. Should have only been $129.99 (1/2 the price Sony is trying to sell it for). All they had to do was include the UMD slot. How had could that have been.

Considering all the games on the PSP, the amount of games I want can be counted on with one hand. Seriously, there's very little that ever interests me on the PSP.

It could be. Then again, the pound is in no position to be used when ridiculing other currencies. There is, after all, more than one reason as to why the rest of Europe considers the United Kingdom to be like a third world shopping paradise for video games.

[spoiler] For not only does the United Kingdom get everything cheaper than the rest of Europe with regards to video games, but the pound has also fallen so vastly against the euro that they are almost in sync. [/spoiler]

PRICES ARE IMPLODING!!! PRICES ARE IMPLODING!!!

Hold out now because prices are going down quickly. Don't have enough money, the PSP go will adjust it's price to what you can afford. Have enough money, invest it in something else right now because you can get a PSP go for way less in a few months so speculate on gold or mud or something. PSP go is dropping in price now so buy slowly and get a better deal.

Still way to expensive for a DoA handheld that is outdone by a cheaper, more full featured older model of the same system.

Is this supposed to be an upgrade over PSP 3000? And at $199 its not even as flexible as older PSPs. This just seems like more milkage from $ony.
