Sony Paves Way for NGP With PSP Price Cut

[ultimateownage]

£80? Hmm, I might consider getting one. The NGP looks like crap to me, it sounds good on paper but not in real life.

Damn it! I just recently bought a PSP! -_- Oh well, I guess I just wasn't lucky this time around.

Hopefully, Nintendo will do the same with the DSi XL once the 3DS is out in all regions.

Now if only they would drop the price on the GO...

Why do you want a GO?

They're more comfortable to hold, the internal memory is a plus, they're more portable, they have better internet access, the analog nub is much more comfortably placed and being entirely solid state makes them more durable than the regular PSP models. Additionally, it is now possible to play UMD only games on them legally (don't know about everywhere, but in the US you can legally make and use one backup copy of copyrighted material as long as you own a copy). This means that you can completely avoid the shitty read speeds and annoying noises you get from UMD drives. The price is the only reason NOT to buy a GO instead of a 3000. At least it's down to under $200 now...

I heard the new sony PSP they're releasing (or whatever you call it) no longer has a UMD slot and plays everything via download.

No thanks.

...Why do they keep trying?

I'm having a hard time deciding on whether I should get the NGP or Xperia Play.
