Sony is planning to sell both the PSP-Go and the PSP-3000 side by side for the time being. They have not made any announcements pertaining to the cancelation of the PSP-3000 if I recall correctly.

Lastly, it cracks me up how so many people bashed UMD and now they're all out crying how Sony is neglecting the UMD crowd. It only proves that Sony cannot please everybody, no matter how much support they show.

And.. You get all of those disagrees because of stupid comments like "As it stands currently, it's already shaping up to be a huge commercial failure."

That comment is the only thing that resembles any sort of failure.

In my opinion it's smart but a huge gamble. You look at how the iPod and Iphone are doing with mobile gaming and it’s insane. Don't be surprise if Sony releases a cheap PSP Go dev kit for minor independent developers to design games for the PSP Go. Also don't be shocked if Sony introduces its own version of the Apple App Store. The problem with Sony is even if they had all that stuff the average person wouldn't know because their marketing is very sub-par.

I have a PSP-2000 and I am very much looking forward to the PSP Go. With the system being expandable to 32GB at launch, I see great potential.

Again fanboys, it's just my opinion. Get a damn job so you can afford more than one system. It will eliminate your fanboyism, trust me!!

Really, because it looks crap to me, and no site that i read seems to like it.

They are just currently pretending that Sony is evil because of the price point. I guarantee it costs more to make a psp go than a wii.

"it's already shaping up to be a huge commercial failure. " Talking about perception. Its not even out yet.

They did lower the price of the dev kits for the PSP, that was announced at E3. What you are saying as an opinion is really fact, thats what the article is stating. And for everyone saying this will be a commercial failure, the new PSP Go games will work on a PSP 1000, 2000, or 3000. Plus there is already a PSP store you can access from the PSP it's self. For people who don't want to spend 250, the 180 model will do everything minus the "cool, new" factor.

perhaps you read your news at Kotaku?

So far almost every news site has had good impressions about it, their only complaints are pricing and battery life.

The reason I said it is my opinion is because the last time I checked (please correct me if I’m wrong) Sony drop the PSP dev kit to $1,000 the week after E3. The iphone dev kit is around $250 or $300. I don't know about you but I don't see that many people rushing out to drop a grand to develop for the PSP if they can do iphone games for 1/3 of the cost.

What I don't understand is why everybody wants to get upset at Sony for how they price their hardware. Sony always loses money on their hardware. I didn't hear anybody getting upset when it was stated back in 2006 that it cost Nintendo $158 to make “1” Wii. Nintendo almost 3 years ago was making close to $100 off of every system and they still haven't dropped the price.

Quick Math....$170 you get just a PSP w/ no mem stick. $80 more you get a PSP Go with bluetooth, 16gigs of memory, and pure hotness!!

Always remember you get what you pay for. I game on my PC, 360, PS3, Wii and my PSP. I love them all!!

ALL PSPs will be able to benefit from these recent improvements, not just the the Go!. Everything about it means more games for the hand-held , ports of Iphone made games aren't even out of the question so i wonder how sonys store will handle all the content. Meaning, i hope it gets it's own section if tons of things start rolling in every week.
