PSP Go a Rip Off

In my opinion I already thought it was a rip off. No UMD drive I mean wtf? I understand they want something strictly for downloadable content, but what about those people who have hard copies of the game? Now they would have to buy the games they have come to love... AGAIN. Anyway, as said Michael Pachter, it turns out the rip off may actually be one considering Sony is charging more for their PSP Go than the PSP 3000 even though making UMD drives is more EXPENSIVE than putting 16 GB of flash memory in the system.

So this new device doesn't cost them as much to make as the PSP-3000 and they jack the price up US$ 80... They're ripping off the consumer… They're making a lot more money on the PSP Go than they’re making on the PSP-3000.

O that is cool. Probably will be done through the new Media manager, which will probably be hacked so that game backups could be ran through as a legit UMD and therefor putting your backups on the PSP Go. Lol.

he's talking about the bundles. And I like the PSP Go, the umd drive was a pain in my ass, now it's nicer to have my games more like cfw, on the device itself and have many games. Besides, now developers don't have to have a 1.8GB size constraint, so games will be much better!

I just looked at the PSP.go its kind of cool looking i somewhat like the slide up screen idea but I would definately prefer the original over the go.
:cool:

i still have a psp 1000 :biggrin:

after a year goes buy i'll probly get it, not for Sony's shitty ass games just for everything else

i bet it will be a HECK of allot easyer to get ISO's on the GO due to its non UMD format. ISO might just be a download away :biggrin:

False, because games will still be made for the other PSP's. They won't take time and make a special version just for the "go".
