It's not such an unreasonable question.

I think the idea to go all digital is pretty good. Obviously if you already have a huge collection of UMD disks you are not going to get one. but for people looking for their first psp this is a great way to go. the ipod touch is all digital, and millions of people have downloaded games onto theirs. Sure most of the downloads are free but they only give you about 30 seconds of fun anyway. which is why an all digital psp is such a great idea cuz you are guaranteed awesome games in a smaller, more awesome package.

The PSPgo seems geared towards people who have yet to make the move to a portable system. The problem that the PSP suffers is that it was designed with other devices as competition in mind. As a result Sony has been unable to give the PSP 'class of it's own' distinction.

I don't think it's really for anyone. All digital games no pre-PSPgo games can be played on it... unless you pay more money. I guess the lineup for games would really have to be great for me to spend $250. Are games still being made on UMD for regular PSP owners? If so, what's the point then?

Its for people who dont own a psp,but do own a ps3 because if your going to spend $250 dolars on a handheld you probaly already have a ps3 and if you dont then skip the handheld and by a ps3 because its awesome and only $50 extra.

It's for the people who can't afford the extra 50 bucks to buy a PS3.

I think it's more better because of its smaller system and no umd games so you dont need to carry a lot only it and mabey more memory

"Who does number 2 work for?"

It's not for gamers, that's for sure...

Someone's gotta be first. In this case, Sony is making the jump to strictly digital distribution before anyone else. I like my art books and game boxes just as much as the next dude, but downloadin' games is the way of the future, ya'll.

Sony fanboys.

Not a bad question, just not a good one. I mean yeah for people that don't have a PSP like myself, would consider picking this up if it wasn't so ridiculously priced.

That's like asking the same question but for something as old and weird as the N-Gage.

Look, this is how I feel about this console. The psp is a great portable system, actually much much better than the ds I will say. But with the "go" version I found myself really thinking, why bother? The system is smaller, plus you will have to spend much more money buying games that somtimes cost a lot less at a retailing store. For example, a Daxter game which is a classic for the psp costs 3 bucks at the GameStop website, but at the Psp store you will find this old game for 15 bucks. Yeah 15 bucks. I really see no winners here except for Sony.

I definitely think the system is great for gamers who are new to the PSP platform. But for existing users, like myself, we're better off just buying the largest memory stick, 16 gigs. I'm all for digital distribution of PSP games, but last thursdays PSN store update was surprising as it only added 2 more games to the available digital library.

SCEA, and SCE as a whole, needs to get their act together in ALL territories and work with the various publishes to get the PSP's large back catalogue online. Also, new game need to be released on PSN in the same week that UMD versions are released in stores. For example, I'm going to buy "Half-Minute Hero", which is released on UMD this week of 10/12/09, but I'll have to wait until 10/22 when it's uploaded to PSN. The digital consumers shouldn't have to wait. Retail partners be damned.

Also, recent hits such as "Final Fantasy: Dissidia" are absent from the PSN store. That's absurd. A whole new category of PSP gamers are denied a popular title because SCE & Square aren't up to speed.

In the end, the PSP Go is all well and good. But Sony needs to improve it's digital release system.

For people who thought the original psp design was stupid

since when did reggie grow such cojones? still, i think its a valid question. i never saw the point to the PSPGo in the first place.

I personally love hard copies but since I am not a fan of the PSP that really doesn't matter in this case. Plus with that price tag you could totally add 40 bucks and get an xbox 360. :)

I see it as Sony trying out an expieriment for the future, more then them being serious about the Go. Basically, seeing where DLC is now, and where it can go in the future.

The fact that it isn't the next PSP is a REAL snafu! If it offered improvments in graphics and two joystiqs, I'd be in.
