Oh sony, when are you going to learn.

All over this. Everyone should have expected this price when it was discovered that this is to be the "premium" PSP.
I own one UMD and will gladly repurchase the game when it surfaces on the PSN (Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles). Otherwise, all of my PSP gaming is PSX classics and PSP downloads.
Can't wait, day one, etc etc etc. The smaller screen is going to make games look even sexier, and the weight/size reduction will make me actually start taking this out of my house.

The specs are listed in the PSP go's press release at the SCEE Press Centre site.
Seriously, if this thing was a big driver for digital distribution, how about a competent download speed? I guess not. Fuck you Kaz.

I was thinking faster download speed, maybe a little something called smoother PS3 Remote Play?

This is what occurred in my mind but with PSP having some great games and the fact the PSP Go looks good to me, I am going to bite and get it.

The press release also confirmed PS3 Dual Shock 3 can work on PSP go. For watching video content only but we'll see if they take it farther.
Probably not. =_=
1. The Go isn't for people who have a library of UMDs
2. It's a new, small, premium Sony device - expect that in the price
Like i said in another thread, i expected about $230, and this isn't far from that. What price were people expecting?
People get unnecessarily hyped up every time a new hardware revision is expected, as they might finally have an excuse to upgrade to a shiny new toy. This isn't an upgrade. This is for people like myself who want a more portable PSP, don't have a library of UMDs or don't want to have to carry a dozen UMDs with them. If that's not you, then the Go isn't for you. The PSP-3000 is a great device and it's roughly the same price as the Go if not a little cheaper even with a 16GB M2 card.
The price of the Go will eventually come down as the downloadable game catalog goes up. It'll slowly make sense to those who don't mind not having tangible copies. They'll still be people who prefer the larger PSP-3000 form factor, and that form factor will likely be available for some time.
Edit: i will say this -- i'd kill for a capacitive touch screen on this. It would make so much sense when the Go's closed. i'm sure that if it's a success that we'll see a touch screen Go Plus or whatever in a couple of years. It'll be a premium product.

I'm well aware of your seething hatred of UMD's (and those who like them), but giving people less options for a higher price is indefensibly stupid, and it's sad to watch you try to spin things otherwise. If the Go! was debuting at $199.99, I might feel differently. A size reduction and 16 MB of internal storage does nothing to justify a $50 price increase, especially when they're removing hardware in the process.

yeah, I pretty much knew that would be the price too.....
PSP-3000 = 170
16gb mem stick = 70
~ 240
But I just thought they wanted to reinvigorate the brand by getting a non-hacked version out there to jump start sales digitally

Sony probably sees the ipod touch as a more direct competitor than the DSi. That kinda explains the price ($229 ipod touch 8 gig/$299 ipod touch 16 gig). It's still a stupid move on their part to price this thing more expensive than the PSP. Unless of course it's all a carefully crafted scheme designed to move more original PSP's.

Damn.
I was all aboard the PSP GO! When I thought it was a least $199 or less. But at almost $100 more than a regular PSP?!!
FUCK.
THAT.
SHIT!
Hell, You can still download games on an old PSP. Sony, why must you work so hard at failing?!

seriously though, i dunno what pants some people buy, but the typical baggy pants i buy have pockets that the psp fits in, soft case included!
well, if your downstream is > 11mbit, yeah, the wifi would be an improvement, but i don't see how it would help remote play.ShinoguTakeruKoeru said:
That screen is one good fall away from disaster but yes it does look much better than the actual Go.causan said:
Yes
i'm not trying to be an asshole, but i wear pants that fit, that is, they're aren't baggy nor are they tight. Aside from a couple of pairs of old cargo pants i wear on occasion to work in, i don't have any pockets big enough to fit a PSP in.The Faceless Master said:
