Dutch retailer refuses to stock PSPgo

Dutch retailer Nedgame has refused to stock and sell the PSPgo because of its high price and lack of retail games.

According to a statement published on its website, the company is unhappy that without a UMD drive it is not able to sell software for the download-only console, cutting out any second hand sales opportunities.

It also has issues with the high price of the new console – which retails in the region for EUR 249, compared to the PSP-3000's price point of EUR 169.

Nedgame also noted a discomfort with Sony creating a monopoly on the pricing of games for the system.

The PSPgo launches across Europe in October, with early adoptors able to download a free copy of Gran Turismo PSP.

yeah and we people from the netherlands cant get our hands on the new psp go.

and btw look at the price differents: 169 over 249
alot of people will still buy the psp 3000 then because of the price differents

I very much doubt there'll be any shortages of Psp Go's for people in the Netherlands, i mean it's not like Buzz lightyear with it's artificial shortages, i bet Sony struggle to sell these things so will make sure everyone gets one in the early rush before they realise how bad Sony's digital download service is.
