Sony outlines PSPgo's UMD ‘solution’

[Zin0099]

ok so 3 free games and the possibility of paying a small fee for the others to be also on psn as download i'm ok with it cuss i was never going to get rid of my psp-2000

i have 2 accounts
1-usa psn
2-jap psn

sounds good to me

and don't bash me cuss i like this option. it's better than sending your games in then the possibility of lost in the mail deal!(i heard about that)

3 free and a selection of 17, sorry kid, but that's an insult

yea the hardcore (like you) will probably hang onto their old systems, most normal people would rather not have 2 "identical but incompatible" systems to trip over the dual sets of wires

Ive heard many stories of game stores refusing to stock the go. I would do also. Your going to make sod all on the sale, then the customer will walk out the shop.

Stores make money by doing "bundles" and rarely sell a system on its own. You walk into a game shop and its ps3 plus 3 games for xx ammount and same with wii and 360.

The GO will be the same price everywhere so no point in going anywhere particular.

Heres a thought,

If EVERYONE in the world bought a GO on release and threw away thier psp slims, phats and UMDs....

the game stores would make NO sales on psp games. At all as we couldnt use UMDs

and as GO games are download from sonys site, game stores make no money.

So ALL stores should boycott the go.

I think that they should just kill the idea of the go I mean it's sounds like a good idea but the fact you can't buy umd's for it blows I can see what they want to do with it but it seems like It's doomed to fail because of no umd drive.I loved sony but this is a bad idea. I think I would buy it if it was less than the 3000 but there excuse is 16 gb of flash which I rather use the disc drive than have 16 gb of empty space.I can see the go as a buy if they allowed a way to convet umd's to the go format.

I can see the go as a buy if they allowed a way to convet umd's to the go format.

Perhaps an invigorated homebrew scene would be capable of producing such a utility. Then again, the PSP homebrew scene has been dying out for some time now.

I love the way they assume people want to buy their new model, even when they have an existing model that works, and plays UMDs.
