PSP Go!

[teddymeow]

I never got codes for any of the free stuff.

Don't have the Go! Anymore so no point in whinging at them either!

[Del Boy]

Screw that, i kept complaining and the eventually broke, sending me 3 free PS3 games, Tekken 6, Uncharted 2 and another.

Sweet! Is AC any good? Don't really fancy Motorstorm.

Have you tried the demo? I didn't really rate the PS3 versions at all, but the demo of the PSP ver made me decide I was buying it, Luckily I was going to buy it next week so hopefully the code will arrive before I go to visit family next tuesday.

This PSP Go lark is turning out quite nicely now I mean I've had 3 free games and a carry case so far. A 4th one actually makes the ?225 RRP not too bad at all. I mean 3 games were worth ?45-60, the carry case ?15, another ?25ish for Motorstorm and I'm looking at ?85 worth of kit making the console itself now under the ?150 mark. Very happy

Didn't spot the demo! Will check it out during the 2 week wait for the free code! Cheers.

I heard that HMV are dropping the price of the PSPgo to ?149.99... should be in the next few days...
Still loving my PSPgo...

It was 149.99 on Monday, I was umming and erring, all day, then thought at 4pm, sod it I'll buy it. The price had gone back up to ?200 by then!

If it goes to 149.99 again I reckon other retailers will follow suit.

Nothing has come out of the Sony Keynote about UMD transfers or anything.
Although there is a mystery box between the PSP sections next to the PSP GO! box, maybe it's a UMD Drive add-on for Go! Or possibly just new PSP Go! accesories, we shall see soon.

Hold that thought....

A UMD drive for the Go only makes sense if it comes with the ability to rip games, which it won't.

Nothing about the Go makes sense.

Aren't they supposed to be close to cracking the firmware on the Go? If so, who's to say they won't be able to get that up and running?

Surely Sony will be all over that though? I reckon that they'll be updates far quicker than in the past from them.

They never managed to stop the DA releases from being able to access the store though, all they did was enforce a version check (Which was patched/editable without too much fuss). Not sure if they'd be able to do any more about it with the Go.

I still can't understand why they can't offer an application that creates a completely DRM'd 'rip' of a UMD. Perhaps requiring connectivity to the PSN at the time that it's created to ensure that it's not done more than once (Or five times, in-keeping with the PSN structure for bought games). I'd move to the Go in an instant* if I could use my current games in some way.

* - still needs a better price.

Yeah, from what I've seen of the POS GO I don't know why anyone would buy it over the older models right now unless they had big problem carrying their games about.

It's overpriced, region locked, has a limited selection of games and there's no requirement for 3rd party developers to put their games up for download. If it doesn't sell (which apparently it hasn't) that's likely to put them off making their games available for download too.

[arcnas]

Its not region locked , you can buy games from any store and they work fine, as far as i know.

[Flabio]

But you can't have games from two different regions on the machine at the same time.
