PSP Go getting $50 price drop on Friday?

Psp GO is such a fail I havent seen anyone play that thing yet alone $200? nooo thank you

still wont buy it.

Target already has it for $199 i almost bought a second black one to go with my white PSPGO since a 16GB Sandisk memory stick costs $172 for just a little more you could just buy another PSPGO. I love my white PSPGO and play it more than my PS3. Why compare it to the lame Wii? or even buying another PS3? the point of a handheld is to take the entire thing on the GO, can't do that with an HDTV and PS3, or lame Wii Wii Pee Pee. Such arguments make no sense, it's like buying the Playstation Move, it's $100, for just a little more get a PSPGO instead. It's all just whining... then you find out the people whining and crying own 30 Nintendo handheld in different colors all totaling $2000 that they've wasted on Pink DS systems.

The PSP Go at $200 is STILL too much. Why pay this much when you can get a Wii for the same, and with a little more a 360. If the PSP wants to continue succeeding, they are going to need a lot more than a $50 price drop. I have a white one, because I wanted to the true portable UMD less experience. But I have the $250 to waste for my own. The REAL SAD thing about the Go, is that I have no way to convert all my UMD's and play them in my PSP Go. This is the REAL DOWN SIDE TO THE SYSTEM. These days, it is better just to avoid purchasing the UMD and simply downloading the game.

Why the **** would anyone buy a Go? With Go, as far as games are concerned, you only have two options - either pay the extortionately high price it costs to download the game from PSN, or don't have the game at all. Of course, this horrible situation is dependent on the game actually being available on PSN. There aren't actually that many PSP games downloadable for the Go. Basically I'm saying, don't buy a PSP Go.

Man, I love it as a gadget, but it was DOA at it's original price point. No UMD's equaled no sale to many loyalists. Even with a price cut, I can't see the value what with it stuck between the far more attractive 3000 and the imminent PSP2. Sad story.

I know a lot of people keep talking Psp 2 and I do think it will happen. Will it have 2 analog? Probably. More storage? Probably. However, I think it will be on a phone this time. Phones/hand held communication is hot right now. Windows phone 7 will have Xbox Live too. There's nothing wrong with this idea.The only concern I have is that will the phone be exclusive to certain carriers? What if I want Verizon, but its only on AT&T? I know the phone idea has been rumored for some time, but I think Sony will move this direction to compete with everyone else. I see this thing a 1-1.5 yr away though. I want to play now. If and when it releases, I will just re-download my games onto the new device from my PSN account (no loss to me)

For those that want the Go. You can get it at Amazon brand new, with the 3 free game promotion for $199.99 (no tax, free shipping). I applied for a Amazon Chase Reward card and got an additional $40 off bringing it to $159.99 (no tax, free shipping). Just pay the card off in 30 days to avoid interest and cancel the card if you wish. I couldn't come to paying $250 for this, but I must say its awesome-- especially at $159.99. The Go is absolute personal preference (I like it for not having to carry UMDs around, its size, louder volume, and screen brightness/resolution due to the smaller screen size).

Can we just skip the bs and move onto the PSP2 with TWO analog sticks please?

Do yourself a favor and but a PSP-3000 and order a 16 GB card off of ebay. it will cost the same and you can enjoy every PSP game and feature for less.

I like what I paid for mine better: $160 (brand new too)

How about try $100?

maybe i can buy it since i not had PSP, no USB dooo dar so i can start fresh slate

No price cut for the PSP 3000!? Sigh.. I guess I still won't get one.. :( Another site said that even the PSP 3000 in Europe gets a price drop to 119 Guess that's a lie?

it does't matter ...psp-3000 is the best

it still does'nt justify the fact it can't play UMDs........

This would have made sense if it had shipped costing LESS than a regular psp. There is no incentive to buy this thing: it costs more and has a smaller game library AND the games don't cost any less despite not having shipping and packaging or a middle man PLUS theres no manual or physical merchandise (collectors editions). Pay more for less hurraa! I want a few games on the psp but there isn't enough (for my tastes) to justify buying one yet. Now if they drop the 3000's price by 50 bones we may be in business! Hopefully they pony up and release a PSP2 with backwards compatibility and a Fricking 2nd analogue stick, get with the times geez!

Bout time, ive wanted one but not for 50 bucks less than a PS3.

I guess the lower cost would make this appealing. Especially if you couple that with the current free game download deal they have going on right now. What sucks though for Sony is that they always bundle the better games with the PSP3000, so they continue to cut their PSP Go sales. LOL Why not just bail out of the hardware and stick with the PSP3000? You obviously prefer it yourselves, so why continue wasting money on it?

nothing can make the go more attractive ever since it was anounced as a dl game only system it was pretty much doa. to many good used umd games out there for 5 bucks each. if they sold it for 100$ then it might had a chance...

It's still useless to me. No UMD drive= No buy. That, & I already have a perfectly good PSP 3000.

awesome $50 off now we can buy this and a copy of kingdom hearts.. oh forgot no UMD drive!

I'll wait for the 3DS or PSP2....

Not a bad deal if they still include the free downloadable games.... the original 1000 series model is still the best though. If it were my money, it would go on one of those with some actual UMDs to put in it.

I've been wanting to get a portable handheld gaming device but the price has been keeping me away....

yes its much ,but this is not about price about the real diff between the old psp , no real change , even if they make it $99.00, the salement will be the same , { bec no real diff}

Even at $200 it's still $199.00 too much.

The PSP never lived up to what it was supposed to be, a gaming device that also does media/websurfing. It got the gaming part mostly right but the websurfing and media went horribly wrong. The screen had horrible ghosting and the volume was way too low even with headphones on. Then along came the ipod touch and it got the media/websurfing down to perfection but the gaming sucked.. heres to hoping sony can get it right with psp 2, since there are people out there that dont have a smartphone or refuse to pay expensive data plans there really is a market for a portable device that surfs the web/plays games (real games)/and has excellent media playback capabilities. as for Pspgo they need to kill this system now,because even with a price cut..there still aint no Kingdom Hearts.

Sony really needs to know when to quit. They aren't selling because the 3000 is a better investment. Everybody knows this so just pull the plug already.

that's ok my very first one still works ... lack of UMD is one reason it'll be a while till I consider getting one of the new PSP's

On Amazon The PSPgo already has a price cut and now cost $200.

A $50 dollar price drop won't help fix the main problem with the psp go which is the fact that even after the psp go being out for a while some game publishers are selling their games UMD and not offering them for download for the Psp go.

Make it the same price as a "real" PSP, and I might stop looking for one on Craigslist.

Does anyone actually LIKE digital distribution? I'm in love with the concept, and have never had a problem in execution. I love having a hard drive full of games without having to keep the discs around. Besides, I hate UMDs. I hate the scratchy noise they make. I hate the long load times you get if you don't install, which also takes forever. I hate that movies are released on UMDs when you could just buy a DVD. I hate that you still have to buy memory cards like this was the year 2000. UMDs just suck.

PSP Go was a massive failure in every way, and especially when some games aren't even sold as digital. Just scrap the entire thing and start over with a PS2 capable PSP2 with dual sticks. Pretty much a Dual Shock 3 controller with a PSP2 inside. That would be win.

Wow a price drop for an experiment system that failed since launch and doesn't have all the games of the other model like Kingdom Hearths: Birth by Sleep.

Sony should just drop and say "It was a mistake." But big companies never do that. A bonus would be "Yeah, the PSP GO was a failure, but the PSP2 will have two joysticks, be connected to PSN all the time, have trophies, 8 GB of memory built in, and be $200." If that happened, then the apocalypse is upon us.

onlyª

hahhaa call me when that one cost onlu 50 bucks then i can start t maybe consider getting one mm yea sure hahhaah :9

Hawkhunter10: I've bought more than 20 digital games and never had any problem with corrupted files.

thats really hilarious $50 drop omg..what the helll are they thinking. dropping $100 wouldn't even do any good people are waiting for psp2

i think this is a bad move.. it's not more cheap than a PSP3K so people will still opt to buy a PSP3K instead. at least when the price was 250$, they could earn more for every sale.. if they reduce it, not only will their sale not increase, but they would earn less with every sale too.

The DSi was my first buy, still enjoy it and is still #1 portable for me. I went past GO and didn't stop. I got the PSP-3000 last month. I have heard no replacement for the GO battery and only downloadable for the GO. It sounded like a disposable razor. A disposable portable?? Pretty expensive. I would like to be able to replace battery on portable and have hard copies of my games.

Dear Sony... make the GO $199 and the 3000 $149

Hmmmmm.........nope I'll just wait for the psp2 k thanks bye.

I think this might mean we will start hearing about the PSP 2.

I got PSP Go for $200 with three free games (Little big planet, Socom and Ratchet) i love the PSP GO it's my favorate portable ever for many reason (size, Graphic, sound by headset and the UMD free), ppl moaning about the price and ready to pay $300 for 3DS crap this is really stupid.

I think Sony just needs to just discontinue the GO.

Alot of the best PSP games are still UMD only. If this thing could actually play them it would have sold better. $200 is still too much.

I think the PSP Go needs a $250 price drop. Only then will people actually be interested in it. Wait... maybe that won't work, either...
