cheers mate . Zavvi sends even heavy stuff outside the UK (bought this from them http://www.zavvi.com/10088986.html and I'm going to be buying the Tekken 6 Arcade bundle for only 77 € some time when I get back from vacation).

Play only sends light packages (games/CDs/DVDs/books) and nothing from the memoribilia department (not even a keyring)

I've always thought the general hatred on the internet aimed at the PSP Go is completely unwarranted. Half the appeal of an R4 to me is just being able to have all my games on the one cart without having to lug everything around + I'm too lazy to want to have to keep swapping cartridges all the time. Digital-only games, particularly for handhelds, is a great idea I think.

I like the idea of having the option.

Meaning, if they had made the PSPGo WITH a UMD drive, then the (not-very-old) library of UMD's would still be available and workable, but then I'd have the option to download games going forward. I just think it's silly to kill the format when there's still plenty of new UMD's out there. It's weird. It's like having two completely different consoles out there on the market at the same time competing with each other. Which will confuse many non-geek consumers.

but the games on the PSN market are overpriced, they get released with a few day delay compared with UMD releases, and not every game is released on PSN.

So you don't have even half the library of the PSP available to you, at much higher game prices, and at much higher console price.


Sony finally released some good deals recently, with some games going for 8€ but it's too little too late for the PSPgo.

Hi I'd like to buy a PSP for my child.

Which model?

The newest one of course!

Great here it is.

How much does it cost?

More than the older ones.

Ok. I'll take this game with it as well.

Sorry, this PSP doesn't play these PSP games.

Oh.

How did this particular example not come up in Sony meetings i wonder...

I don't know, it just seems dumb to me. You're a fan of the PSP. You've got a bunch of PSP games. You "upgrade" to the newest model and all your games become worthless?

Sony meeting had a different tone. For that matter Nintendo, Microsoft and Valve Steam too. More to follow.

"We can have our loyal customer re-purchase the same UMD game all over again as a PSN download.
Since it will be a download, then we can charge them again and again and again.
Again charge as newer systems come out. PS1 downloads on PS3"

Does sony really have a plan to follow the pspgo? They mentioned nothing at E3 and the 3DS hits in less than 9 months. I think you can only go so far with graphics on a portable system which is really what the psp had over the DS. The PSP is already way behind the DS in sales.

Does anyone else see sony leaving the portable game soon?
