Worried about blowing money on that pricey new PSPgo that's coming out soon? Well, I can't say I blame you, especially if you already own a PSP, but if you're a gadget whore (coughDaleNorth) and feel you can't live without it, I do have a shred of good news for you: it seems like the games for it could be pretty cheap, if a recent report from Pocket Gamer is any indication.
The report says that PSPgo titles will be priced at 1,2, and 5 euros, making the buying of games pretty painless. In fact, it's also been reported that Sony has been busy working with iPhone developers to bring ports of current titles to the PSPgo. While we already had an idea about the pricing structure back in June, this certainly adds more fuel to that fire. We ought to know more around Gamescom time, as it's heavily suspected we'll hear major announcements then.
Would cheap games influence your desire to buy the PSPgo? Does it somehow ease the pain of that $250 price tag for you?

Is the white one being released in America?
I will be buying one ASAP and will be playing many hours of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on it, and if my current PSP use is anything to go by, not much else.
It's not a PSP to me, it's a MHM (Monster Hunter Machine)
God that game is like crack.
Well, if it wasn't for retailers (and greed :/), digital distribution would mean lower costs for games, as it is esentially free money for the seller. No physical copies to manufacture, no shipping costs, unlimited suppy...
Now, so far DD games have remained at the usual price (except for some awesome Steam weekend deals :D) because if they were lowered the retailers would start a riot.
So it's POSSIBLE that they mean regular games could be this cheap. not likely so long as retailers still exist though.
If they bring the quality of some iPhone titles to PSP it will be great!
Also, I doubt it's going to be "real" games because that would essentially ensure PSP (and Sony) get on the blacklist from the B&M stores for undercutting them.
Additionally, why would I need a pspgo to play ports of iphone games? I've got an iphone to do that, and most of the games that are well designed for the platform use the touchscreen. Sony's still dumb, and this just reeks of me too.
Not to say that I don't want that to happen, but...=P
At this moment they update with little to no content ONCE a month, and the only way to add funds to the PSN is with the awful PSN Cards that they don't even sell almost anywhere. So if you want to buy some DLC you need to go to an online store, buy a very expensive card and wait a week so you can buy something on the PSN.
And even then they charge the dollar 56% more expensive than Apple does. Of course Apple charges the Dollar too cheap, actually, but even nintendo charges the dollar 20% less expensive than sony does.
White is being released. Bestbuy.com has it available for pre-order. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9459631&st=PSP+Go&lp=6&type=product&cp=1&id=1218108084968
the USA?
The only game I worry about playing is Monster Hunter Freedom
