And here is PSP Go flaw #450450: If the PSN store is down, you can't transfer games or media to your system, because PSN has to verify it first.

Quote from: Keyser Soze

Just had a real life fight (well voices were raised and I was gesturing wildly) about the PSP Go, and why it is awesome. The "fight" was actually with a good friend of mine. I am amazed how people can so vigorously and passionately hate lovely little thing.

Are you sure? I can test to verify, but I bet it only has to be done the first time the PSP is authorized with that PSN account. (As there's a 5 device limit)

Although given that you could use it as a workaround, I wouldn't be too surprised.

As far as we know, it wouldn't stop anything. Nintendo doesn't ban consoles or anything, they just brick random ones in an attempt to blindly defeat piracy.

That nugget o' info came right from Mr. PSP Go, Abrader, himself.

yup, i ordered my whitey from the US and it came to 166 GBP (or 22,000 yen).

Even with 3 games for free , you'd still have around 70 GBP to spend which would most likely get you three games WITHOUT the limited choice.

USA USA USA USA!

If anyone is planning on buying a PSP GO, I recommend getting a PXP GO:

(Image removed from quote.)
http://chinagrabber.com/4-3-slide-panel-retro-gamer-game-mp5-player-w-camera-mp4---pxp-2000.aspx

Built in memory, supports MicroSD Cards, NES Emulator, Built-in camera(takes video), multiple codec support including FLAC, AV out(comes with AV cables), E-Book reader, and an English to Chinese dictionary.

Only $84.

I think I've seen one of those before. I was in an airport and saw a kid playing a PSP Go, this was like a month before they were released. I was all impressed, but upon closer look I noticed it was a Chinese ripoff thing.

More PSP go lulz from Australia

Six new games this week.

Prinny US - $9.95
Prinny UK - THIRTY TWO POUNDS

Monster Hunter has already been cut in price significantly from week one, way to screw the early adopters.

GoofyGoober · « **Reply #259 on:** October 09, 2009, 06:04:11 PM »

I want one so that it can actually be portable. I.E. I can stick it in my pocket like my DSL. But they have a way to go with the pricing of not just the unit but the games. I got Mana Khemia on UMD for $5 from BB on clearance. I just picked up GOWCOO for $10 from Target clearance, also got Patapon 2 for $5. It takes forever for them to reduce the price of the DD, even then it's typically just sale, which is okay if the prices are great like Prinny.

Another day, another PSP Go fail:

Quote
What do Undead Knights, Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising, NBA 2K10, Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes and Cars: Race O Rama have in common? All of these are PSP games released on UMD after the PSP Go's October 1 launch -- and all are currently without a digital equivalent. Owners of the Go system are unable to play these games because they simply aren't unavailable on the PlayStation Store.

Once again, Sony's hands-off approach to the PlayStation Network means third parties are responsible for getting their content on both UMD and the PlayStation Store. "It's up to individual third parties to decide if and when to publish their UMD releases on PSN. Most, if not all, are on board, as this is a revenue opportunity for them," we were told by Eric Lempel, SCEA's director of PlayStation Network operations. Namco, the one publisher that returned our request for comment, noted specifically that "there are currently no plans to release Akatsuki Rising on PSN right now," despite its October 6 release on UMD.

We highly encourage Sony to make simultaneous digital releases of PSP games a requirement for publishers, not merely a suggestion. The company previously issued a mandate for PS3 games to include trophies in 2009 -- a similar policy must be enforced on the PSP. Without it, there's no guarantee that all future PSP games will ever be playable on the PSP Go.

this, above all the other flaws, is completely unacceptable

from psp go launch onward third parties should have been required to have a version of their games ready for the psn store - if not on release day (to appease the retail stores), then at least the week afterward

if the psp go fails (and i am almost completely convinced it will), it'll be because of things like pricing and this, and it will be a deserved failure

Undead Knights IS on the PSN. I downloaded it for free. They took it down quickly after and didn't put it back up yet.

Agent Whiskers · « **Reply #262 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:58:44 PM »

I've had one since launch and i'm loving it. Finished God of War: CoO and Resistance Retribution (both great games) and just started Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow on my flight back from work earlier today. My favorite adjustment is the analog nub. It's much friendlier on the thumb than the previous iterations and its placement is perfect.

The PSP Go will probably sell a couple of million until it gets phased out and then never mentioned again.

Sony probably proposed something like requiring an online version to third parties but those third parties knew better than to waste money on this failure and probably made Sony renege on that. I pulled that out of my ass but it is the only rational explanation I can think of.

The Go is such a clusterfuck. I had no idea Sony was willing to burn through tens of millions of dollars on this failure of a project or had tens of millions of dollars to burn through in general.

Nope.

The only other thing I've EVER seen removed from the Playstation store ENTIRELY was the Lair demo.

@Mega64 - up until the popping of the UMD case, I could actually picture a normal consumer going through those motions, and probably feeling about as pissed off.

what games are available right now and will new games be available on day 1? Green Man answered the first section and as for the second it all depends on Sony (haven't been doing a really stellar job so far but hopefully they can improve on this ).

and last can I play games offline? didn't stop you before so i have no idea why it would now.

it think its just find game, pay, download then play as normal, the only issue i see is that "one account at a time" thing the PSP platform still has.

Well 30K more then I thought they would sell. It would certainly explain the Amazon sale along with the Fry's sale. I saw on some site were it was less then 1000 sold in Australia, but Sony fired back with "no, you must be mistaken it's sold slightly over 1000 units".
