The price increase on the "PSP-GO"

To make us want to work extra hours.

Sony is obviously trying to fix the economy by having everyone work extra hard.

this, you don't see the greatness of sony's plan, but believe me and them you will know discipline.

u know guys... you can just go buy a psp3000, which is cheaper..basically the same thing the go is just more digital friendly (i guess would be the term).. just pass it by and get a psp 3000..is it really that hard.mmmmm

The ipod touch 16gb is $229 so I can't say I'm too surprised that Sony would make it close to the price of the touch. Not that I agree with it or not but that's just life for you I guess. Sony has to make money somehow since the PS3 isn't.Jrfanfreak88

And even without a UMD drive the battery is still only about 2-4 hours.

Lame. Going to buy a normal PSP though.

Because it's new. If you think they increased the price, then you have a psp already and don't need to "upgrade" or you havn't bought one yet and making it sound like Sony with get rid of the earlier versions.LOXO7

Why did they increase the price. PSP minus disc tray = HIGHER COST!Michael324

Although I think its a tad overpriced as well, you forgot two major points:

PSP - UMD - 1/2 inch of screensize + 16gb memory + bluetooth = higher cost.

PS, a 16gb memory stick is $100 at Best Buy...

yea if you buy it from an overpricing non-online retailer

you can find a 16GB memory stick duo for near $30 online regularly, amazon, ebay. all new, and all from smaller retailers across the globe. 16GB flash memory costs around or less than $100 alone. for ***** sake a 32GB USB drive is like $100.

EDIT: another thing, i bought a 16GB SDHC card for $17 last month. sony shouldve used those too

Actually, I have been pricing them online for a few weeks now. At those places, as well as BUY.COM

The cheapest I have seen even online is $70. But I am not implying that Sony can charge $70 more just for this. I still think it should have been priced at $199.99

[QUOTE="coltsfan4ever"]

[QUOTE="Leo-Magic"] Sony is making a joke again. seriously, we need new psp games, not a new model for every year. I gave up both Sony and PSP.TR800

[QUOTE="TR800"][QUOTE="coltsfan4ever"]Have you seen all the new psp games that are coming out this year. Seems like you just hard to satisfy. But oh well,I doubt Sony will miss you.

coltsfan4ever

I am undecided about that one, but i am waiting for Soul Calibur first, then Assassins Creed and Resident Evil. May consider the new MGS, but I have not been a fan of the series thusfar.

you would almost think they added something, like 16g memory and a complete redesign.

lol Some plan, Yet I work for what I want. last thing we need is MORE lazy gamers.

Jrfanfreak88

Your pretty much right Sony have said its for people on the "GO" life which means they are trying to reach to the iPod Touch consumers out there. not really gamers. And guys we are talking about Sony; Which seem to jack up prices of everything. I'm not Surprised even there Netbooks (which are in the price range of $200-$300) Are over $1,000. this should not shock you all.

Does anyone actually read around here? The price hike was so retailers would get a big profit off of it, thus making them support it more.

I'm thinking about buying a PSP-3000 the day the Go releases.

Treedor has the right logic, Sonys raises the price on the psp to 250$ a billion people by it in 2 months eradicating this worldwide recession. So sonys trying to save the worlds economy with the pspgo DUH! Wii_Gamer_277

except the only way to fix the economy is to shop at small privatly owned local stores instead of big chain stores...

this will be my first PSP. and the new redesign and it being fully digital is exactly what i wanted in a PSP.

the price point was right at my very max i was willing to pay.

the only thing that sux was the battery life is unchanged, hopefully that will change with updates or something. Also concerned about the current PSP back catalog but if the last two weeks are any indication we'll start seeing more and more PSP games start coming to the PSN the closer we get to launch.

Please don't try and justify the price.

Sony came out and admitted they're trying to make it look "premium" by pricing it so high.

Anyone that things 16gb or slider or a new coat of paint is the reason the PSPgo is so expensive, just read this article. Sony admits to raising the price for no reason other than to make more money.

I will be sticking with my 2000. I am already downloading movies and enjoying them on a bigger screen.

Admit defeat? LOL, I did not know I was fighting you or anyone else. Hell, I am not even a Sony fan!

And just so you know, I did not say that those were reasons it cost so much. Just pointed out that he forgot those things in his "review".

The memory card point was to whomever was saying they could get a card for $30.

But if you feel the need to "win" something, then go ahead. It's your lucky day! You are GREAT!

i was going to get the PSP GO! until they announced the release date, im very inpatient and i wanted a PSP ASAP so i can play

phantasy star portable so i said F' it and bought the 3000 instead..this should hold me till it comes out, then i'l get the GO also
