In a perfect world, Sony would see the steep decline of the PSP at the current time and just heavily discount all the PSP titles on the PSN (minus the PSX classics and such...) Maybe I'm in the Steam state-of-mind, but selling x,xxx copies of forgotten game at $1.99 would be much better than selling xx-xxx copies of forgotten game at $19.99.

Hell, for the "premium" games, I'd happily pay $10 on a good deal of them... With the PSP being pretty much dead in the water now with the Vita out, it would be in the best interest to just have a fire sale on the content left over for the PSP.

Doesn't the Vita also play PSP games? If so, there isn't a reason to have a fire sale, tho it potentially could bode well for future sales and additions to the digital store.

Not really sure, so yeah, it might just be wishful thinking on my part. I wasn't 100% sure as they are having to re-release the PSX classics for the Vita, right? I swore I heard something about that at e3, so I was figuring that PSP games weren't compatible with the Vita. Regardless, who wants to pay $30-$40 for a digital download of an older game?

Doesn't look the case... That's why it's going back to GameStop today.

Too bad you didn't have a regular PSP, because with the very easy to install custom firmware (on both the PSP and the PSPgo), you could convert any UMD's that you buy as images (as games on UMD are indeed cheaper than the same titles on PSN) & place them on your PSPgo no problem.

I wish that SCEA came with a valid solution regarding letting you bring your UMD collection to both the Vita & the PSPgo. They do have a program in Japan that lets users buy downloadable versions of their UMD collection on PSN with a discount, but nothing is in place here unfortunately.

I personally use my PSPgo as more of a portable media device as my hands are way too big to play comfortably. Between using it for music, some videos (anime on the go!) & having a few games on there (specifically some RPG's & minis that don't involve any crazy control schemes), it has more than worked for what my needs are.

I'm tempted at the Vita deal BBY has going on...but I think all this handheld desire is hugely impulse on my part and I wouldn't be a good steward of my money to aimlessly buy the Vita.

As it is now, I barely have enough time to play my 360 and that's titles I REALLY want to beat (MP3, Dawnguard DLC, Walking Dead Ep 2..my recent playlist).

I'm so busy working and hanging with my gf that when I finally get home, I either crash, or end up on Netflix.

I think a handheld would just be a huge waste of money, even though some Vita titles I'd like to play (but the prices are still crazy high for a handheld..)

Finally picked one up. This mixed with the cheap PSP Go accessories is a great deal. I've got a PSP 3000, but the portability of the Go is well worth it.

Why do people keep saying PSP games are $30-40? Yeah, some are, but there are a ton of fun PSP games that are $9.99 and below.

I'm gonna pick up a PSP 3000 tonight though. This will be the third time I've bought a PSP.

True. But some are just ridiculously over priced.

Can somebody recommend the best accessories at Gamestop to go with this; I just bought a brand new (used) pearl white today.

The dock and component cables are fun to play with, especially if you have a spare Sixaxis or DS3 lying around.

Boy did I luck out; the previous owner's left a 16GB memory stick inside the PSP Go and left an entire Chris Brown album on the stick. SCORE!

Shit, Best Buy doesn't stock PSP 3000s anymore.

How do u look up PSPGo inventory?

Only GS's B&M can.

This with the PS 3D display, dock, DS3, and component cable is pretty sweet.

Type in "PSP go" on the GameStop website not PSPgo & voila...

Edit : nevermind, I thought you were referring to accessories lol...oops

I've been out of town for the past week, and managed to find a Go here in the Dallas area.

No pre-loaded games, but it's in excellent condition. Can't wait to mess around with it when I get home.

Oh, and I had no idea that it came with a free 1-year warranty. Good stuff.

Free one year warranty? From GS or Sony? I ask because if you're talking about the factory warranty, that won't apply if the system was listed as pre-owned/used.

As for games, were you on PSN when they had the outage due to the hacking by Anonymous? If so, if you logged in to get the free games from Sony from the Welcome Back program, then you can download those to your PS3 and then transfer them to the Go without ever having to connect to the network with the Go system.

Gamestop is running a special promotion. If you buy a preowned system you get a free one year warranty from GameStop.

I should go look around for one of these cheapass Gos. I have enough stuff on PSN that I bought on sales and whatnot to play the system with just digital content for ages.
