Choze Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Excluding almost every IGN editor. If someone buys it for £250 they are unlikely to say it's rubbish. Its £199 with free games.
Wesley Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Still a lot for a half-baked hand-held. Shi, I just realised you're Choze, I take that back. I don't want to break your fragile world.
Daft Posted October 1, 2009 Author Posted October 1, 2009 It's not half baked. However it is f*cking expensive. At £150 they would have nailed it.
Choze Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 It's not half baked. However it is f*cking expensive. At £150 they would have nailed it. Thats PSP 3000 territory. Their main PSP.
Wesley Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 That seems so odd to me. They have split their very small market in half... really odd. It's not half baked. However it is f*cking expensive. At £150 they would have nailed it. Sorry. It's a lot for a fully baked and yummy hand-held.
Daft Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 They haven't split it in half at all. Everything released for the PSP Go can be played on the usual PSP. All new PSP games will be downloadable as well and I'd be surprised if they don't add more of the back catalogue. Ultimately the only difference is that the PSP Go can't play UMDs which isn't a problem at all if you are willing to pay for it. If anything they are giving potential customers another option. The pricing of the console is still way too high and the downloadable game price's are too rigid (No matter what Choze bumbles on about). The handheld itself is faultless. Had a go on it today and I loved its feel instantly. Something I never got with the normal PSP. The fault is in the pricing. Also, battery life should be much better.
Wesley Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I wasn't talking about splitting the market for existing customers; I'm talking about potential customers. We now have two PSPs sitting on the shelf, both still being supported by Sony and have wildly different delivery systems. With retail obviously wanting one to sell more than the other Sony are going to be in a silly position either way.
Daft Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 I'm just saying I don't think they're that different. The Go just doesn't do UMDs. It does downloads like the iPod. Ever since the iPod and iTunes and now especially with games on the iPhone potential customers will be a lot more aware of this deliver method.

dwarf Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Thank god you cleared that up. Wesley now knows the answer to his question. He didn't understand that the same games were available on both systems. You've not missed the point he made at all and have given him the information he required.

Bear in mind stores are also selling PSN cards now.
Dante Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I didnt know that PSP Go is near the same size of GB Micro. Looks nice in white.
Sooj Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) That comparison is pretty impressive though I would buy the Go if they got the prices right. Edited October 3, 2009 by Sooj
MATtheHAT Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I just can't help but see that Cartman thing someone posted a while back. I just can't unsee it.
Daft Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 I didnt know that PSP Go is near the same size of GB Micro. If you can, get your hands on a demo. They had a guy showing people when I went into HMV. It is tiny.
Choze Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 The new features make it really good value for money. You now have a save state that you can always refer back to. Use the xmb watch vids etc and then go back to the game where you left off. Bluetooth also works with Dual shock including for multiplayer games(ps1 etc.) Seems well worth it. The protability will also help. Saves the hassle of carrying a UMD collection on the go. Using PSN cards means prices cheaper than advertised etc. Gonna get it with the 4 games deal at £199, question is white or black?
Daft Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Choze, who are you talking to? No one apart from you thinks it's good value for money and you're not going to convince anyone but yourself. I don't just mean on the boards as well. Absolutely no one thinks it is good value for money. Edited October 3, 2009 by Daft
Pit-Jr Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I was thinking the reason for the high price could be so that retailers have a higher profit margin than the 3000, thus having an actual reason to order and stock them. At any rate,. i want one! But i think im gonna wait a while. I dont even have enough time to play my PS3 like i want, much less a handheld
Choze Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Choze, who are you talking to? No one apart from you thinks it's good value for money and you're not going to convince anyone but yourself. I don't just mean on the boards as well. I am just giving my reasons for getting one. You dont have to agree with it. Absolutely no one thinks it is good value for money. You dont have to keep thinking others think the way you do. Afterall I brought a PS3 and games like Uncharted before many people. I think i make good decisions for myself. Loving GT PSP on my PSP 2000 anyway. So i am not rushed or anything but PSP Go is a nice bit of kit. Will get one at some point. I think its also alot about the software. Alot of good games lately anyway. Edited October 3, 2009 by Choze
Daft Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 I couldn't give a rats arse about how other people think. I care about simple hard logic. If people aren't irrational, they'll see it's a duff buy at this price. I don't dispute I'll get a Go. I want one. As a machine I love it. As an almost vertically integrated business model, I f*cking hate it and so should consumers in general.

Choze Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 You're a fucking idiot. Welcome to my ignore list. Population one. You. Good. Saves you form overreacting to my posts. I can imagine you imploding at your keyboard.
