Now why would someone buy a PSPGo with a UMD drive when they can just go get a PSP3000 for much less than just the PSPGo by itself? Perhaps the same idiot who's running Sony's PSP division came up with that deal.

It seems, no it IS, ridiculous. Choices are always good, but isn't that the reason they still sell the old PSPs? They might as well sell an SNES cartridge adapter for the Wii.
I don't see any major publisher releasing a popular title for the PSP Go only any time soon, unless it's from Sony or unless Sony pays someone to do so.

I just think its a stupid add on. I like the PSP Go and what it has to offer. I really do think its a great idea and people are shutting it down because it doesnt have a UMD drive. but the years before that people are ragging on the "pointless" UMD format.

Like I wrote earlier, the person who green lighted this should be fired for being such an idiot.

No CFW on PSPGo?
No deal.
...I may be in some trouble though since my PSP-2000 is showing some age.

Or does the last gen have access to the online Sony store as well? I didn't even think of that before, if that's what you are correcting me on.

I think my whole problem with the Go is it wasn't a natural transition as say, Nintendos with the DSi. Sure GBA carts are still plentiful, but with that removal they kept the NDS slot and added the online store as opposed to cutting the physical media out completely.

That being said, of course one can always keep their old PSP after buying a Go, but it just seems like such a bother to have to keep two devices around depending on what games one wants to play.
I'll be sticking with my PSP 1000 for the indefinite future. I'd love to upgrade to a 3000 for the TV-Out functionality someday, but I'm not *that* desperate for it.

but I think if you're buying a PSP Go you should deal with it. As far as the UMD conversion method. It was mentioned! then there was some bullshit and shut it down completely. Outta curiousity I haven't downloaded a PSP game, how big are they? It shouldnt be more than a gig right?

O hi thar!
Here's a bucket of FAIL!

How does this make any sense at all? Or is this just targeted at idiots with too much money who don't mind paying full price for something that they don't actually own or have any control over?

Also, old PSPs would still be able to play those same games if they just load it into their memory sticks.

Sony is skipping to the trade-in part and allowing us to give up what we purchased for an electronic copy. Those UMD titles are so positively 2005 - who wants those? Those little discs scare away the chicks.
Thank you, Sony, for another brilliant idea that everyone will love. Really. Great to see you keeping up that amazing rep.
(But what were you thinking dropping the price of the PS3 to $300? Very unlike you. Please raise it back to $600 so we can continue with the same warm fuzzy feelings.)

And, so I don't have to make backups. I can re-rip it into anything at anytime I want.

That said, if I spend $50 on a PSP game, I consider that to be a license to play that game regardless of hardware. And I think that being able to play it on an old PSP system as well as a new one is my right as a license holder. So if there's way to keep the disc and get a digital copy, I'll consider myself within my rights to do that.

Either that, or that one digital copy winds up being shared across the world.
Which ever.
