Reggie asks what the PSPgo's benefit is

Time for some CEO smack talk, people. That means thinly veiled insults, coated in "respect" and gleaming with backhandedness. The leaders of big companies always try to play nice with t...

SCEA: Don't blame us for PSP Minis pricing

When the PSP Minis prices were finally revealed, I was amazed. This service, intended to do for the PSP what Apps did for the iPhone, was idiotic. Games started at $4.99 and went as high as ten b...

No, this story isn't about that werewolf, but rather, about the success of the PSPgo's launch sales. However, since I work for a videogame blog that allows me to use whatever type of header pictu...
PSPgo Rewards scheme screwed over by DRM restrictions

I want to submit the word "Sonying" as a new English language word. Sonying is the act of having good ideas and then sabotaging them personally so that they don't work. The latest schem...
PSPgo 'will fail miserably'

PSPgo? More like PSPslow!

Yesterday, Sony reported that PSPgo sales were "in line with expectations," but refused to give any figures. There might be a reason for that, if UK retailer ShopTo is to be believed. A...
PSPgo sales 'in line with expectations'

The PSPgo launch was not exactly an exciting and star-studded affair. My local store was practically empty and there was no danger of the machines selling out. This seems to be a pretty consisten...

Rumor: Digital rental of PSP games coming?

The PSpgo has been getting some flack from us, though when it finally landed I think we gave it a pretty fair shake. One of the great things about it is that the downloadable game service over PS...
PSPgo kinda sorta hacked a bit

Sony released a new PSP, so it's a given that it will be hacked very soon, exposing the folly of Sony's persistent and useless Firmware updates. In the meantime, homebrew-happy tinkerers will hav...

Hello to all our Indonesian readers. I've got some good news for you. You can now buy the PS3 in your own country. Before, I assume, you could not, but now you can. Well, not now now, but later n...
The Videogame Show What I've Done: The PSPgo
