Sony Expected More Negativity For PSPgo

[Megacherv]

There's always the ridiculous people like my mate who will now sell their old psp with all it's games just to buy this game and rebuy the same bloody games >.>

I'm doing it, internal storage based gaming for handhelds is better than carting loads of cartridges or discs around. I've reseverved mine and am picking it up tomorrow, trading in all my games and my 300 model.

Foolio, you can download and play the same games as for the PSPgo as for your regular PSP-3000 or even the PSP-1000

So you are paying $250 for a smaller screen, more cramped controls, no video output and basically throwing away your entire UMD collection and being forced to start again. Oh, but it's a bit lighter because the PSP-3000 was SOOOO HEAVY!

1) Completed all my games, so i don't really need them back straight away.
2) I don't use video output
3) PSPgo will be more compact than the 3000, so, for instance, It'll take up less space in my pocket so i can listen to music and use my high quality headphones. If I want to buy it. I will do.
4) I'm trading in my 3000, bunch of old games and all my UMDs, so I'll get a price reduction (although I'll ask if I can use my 3000 for that games offer. Probably just leave my phone so they know I'll come back)

1) but you will still pay for them again at full price after you've sold off / traded your UMD collection for most likely only 10% of the price you bought them.
2) You are still paying More for Less features
3) How small are your pockets? And you're right, you will buy it. Some people love the smell of burning money as long as it reaffirms their brand loyalty.
4) You know what's an even bigger price reduction... not getting the PSP-go at all. Act now, you still have time to cancel your pre-order and prevent making a huge mistake.

You don't HAVE to buy every new iteration of a console Sony releases.

1) I won't buy those games again, or get them with the free 3 games service, and I'm getting GT PSP for free when I register it.
2) Not that many less features
3) I'm loyal to most brands I buy from them. I just want a PSPgo, and not a PSP-3000
4) If I want to buy a PSPgo, I'll fucking get it. Explain how it's a mistake, because I don't really see what's wrong with buying something I want.

And you're right, because I didn't buy the 2000. This'll be my first new PSP, as my other 2 (my 1000 broke) have both been pre-owned. I want something that is genuinely mine.

Read: Nobody was buying that POC anyway, so if we don't even have to stock it's sub-par over-priced games; all the better.

Well. There's something not even a fanboy can defend. The thing basically boils down to "Wait, people actually want to sell our product? We thought they'd hate it!"

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Well you know what they say, "No publicity is bad publicity."

FIFTY.
MILLION.

SOLD.
for the love of my deceased ability to swear like a sailor how is that a failure?! it's games are not over price! They are not Subpar! My god I find it difficult to articulate in words I'm allowed to use exactly how much rage your making me feel. but here's an attempt.

I hate you right now more than I hate Twilight.

Fixed..and dammit you beat me to this thread...damn the movie theater and almost catching fire.

No the PSP Go is for PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A PSP YET. Oh sure they have that really weak trade in offer but the fact of the matter is it's design philosophy is a PSP for those who don't have PSPs.

Read what I quoted. Backhouse is clearly trying to make the PSPgo look like a more adult alternative to the 3000. It's standard Sony PR stupidity these days.

Basically the suits at Sony talk and all I hear is this.

I'm sorry, I was too busy staring at Light's luscious eyes...

As for this, I don't know what exactly to think. Just another bumbling saying that Sony struggles for what they're actually trying to say, which I have no clue what it would be.

Let're remember by the way, that anything Sony does will automatically be hated.

Heck, if Sony wanted to, they could drop the Ps3 and support the 360. Then every single person on Earth would hate the 360 and go back to the Ps3. It's a foolproof plan.

Hating Sony = profit for the Escapist.

I am pretty sure he is referring to only the psp go and not the other versions of the psp.

I think that it's been proven several times that the News Team is not biased against Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo in any way, shape, or form.

My bad. I didn't mean for that to sound like a take that against the new's team. I meant the escapists in general. They sure do love to hate Sony. All I hear is how digital distribution is the wave of the future, but when they do it, it's a horrible thing. And really, I don't see how they could implement it without someone complaining.

 

[jimduckie]

gee sony can't even get ps3 updates right and a psp go using download stuff won't work , won't they ever learn? ... my ps3 fat died and had to get a ps3 slim and it freezes up too ... if they are going to make gaming consoles make it for gaming only

Actually, most people don't hate Sony: they just hate what they've been doing. I own a PS2, and love the crap out of it, and would get a PSP 3000 if I had the cash... I just hate the idea of the Go, which seems to be pushing digital distribution in an unhealthy manner.

And there are people who are fundamentally opposed to digital distribution entirely. See Therumancer.

I have a PSP100, abit out of date, so i'll take a look at buying one, also looking forward to GT portable.

 

[theultimateend]

Fan of the PS1, PS2 and the PS3, but not any type of PSP.

But with a few simple mods you can play your entire PS1 library on the go with the PSP 1000 or 2000!

That's why I love mine .

Digital Distribution only?.. blah
