Limited edition Gran Turismo PSP pack coming, not PSPgo photo

Sony has just announced a PSP bundle to follow the Gran Turismo PSP launch, just as we expected. What we did not expect is that a PSPgo is not included in the bundle.

The Limited Edition Gran Turismo PSP Entertainment Pack will launch on October 20th. For the price of $199.99, you'll get Gran Turismo PSP, an exclusive download voucher for a white Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, a download voucher for ten free songs from Sony Music Pass, another voucher for a yet-to-be-announced movie, a 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, oh, and a Mystic Silver PSP-3000. Not the PSPgo that launches on October 1st. A PSP-3000.

It's not that it's a bad bundle. In fact, the price is pretty good for what comes with it. It's just that people looking to buy a system that month might be looking to get a PSPgo. Maybe Sony has some excess silver PSP-3000s to get rid of.

Europe, it looks like you win this one.

I... huh. Well, that's not terribly unusual, I guess. Hasn't Nintendo gotten one or two more bundles out of the recently-succeeded version of a given hardware before phasing it out?

Well, considering the fact that there are rumors about a possible PSP-4000 being released soon WITH the UMD drive (since it is basically a hardware revision of the PSP-3000, no visual changes), I really don't know what sony is trying to do, confusing and suffocating the customers with several SKUs of the same thing, trying to keep the PSP Go and the 3000 together doesn't seem right to me.

You know what they say

"PSPGo? Oh Hell No!"
"PSP3000? I'll give it a shot, It can't be that bad, it's alot cheaper too, so thats good".

I was hoping that the PSP GO would be in on this. Now I have to reconsider when I am going to get the GO.

Sony is doing a great job of talking me out of buying a PSPGo.

To all the fools whining about a second analog stick, the PSPGo does have blutooth. Meaning you can hook up a PS3 controller.

That will matter when I start carrying a PS3 controller around in my pocket (i.e. never).

Good, the PSPGo looks awful, a turd of a system.

@-PL- I would think that the bluetooth would be for headset use or to pair a remote if you want to hook it to a tv
