Every time Sony introduces something that fails, they call it a 'beta' or a 'test' so they don't have to take responsibility for fucking up.
I have a go and love it. i was disappointed EU users were given better deals with free games as opposed to NA users. There should also be more content available on PSN and at a better price. If this was a de facto test then they should know now what they need to do satisfy their current user base.
I just started writing my first community blog to rant about Sony after having bought the PS3 finally and getting all the exclusive games for it.
I now understand why Sony fanboys who have never experienced the 360 themselves really are sad, desperate people. :(

"The price should be lower, and every game should be available at launch"
besides 'this' and the missing analog stick the go is cool.
and sonys response, would you really expect anything less. of course they have straight faces, they believe what they are saying.
Side note:I'm a slave to itunes and I hate them for it, I dream of a day that I get a zune HD and forget about the hundreds of songs on my itunes purchased list.

Correction: The test was to see if consumers would purchase the same hardware a second time, like they do with Nintendo.
Conclusion: No.
Conclusion: No.
No, SONY, that's why you released those surveys regarding how much bullshit we would tolerate from the Go should it be released. You released the Go because those surveys indicated that we would put up with a lot of bullshit from the Go.
This made me chuckle for a minute, then I stopped and thought, why doesn't Howard Stringer, or the shareholders, or someone in authority who is having to deal with the Playstation brand's problems, clamp down on this shit and tell executives, marketing and PR to shut their fucking mouths and stop putting out pointless statements.
I think its bullshit. A test... come on give us a break. They know as many of us know what would make a good PSP2. As many people that have commented and or sent email or raged on the forums I think Sony knows what exactly they need to do. Unless, you know, they're complete morons which is possible because as the tech sphere expels them out like unwanted feces you'd think they would be trying their hardest to get back in the game. At least try to make consumers happy with an amazing product that actually competes with today's modern technology on all levels not just hardware.
A spokesman for Sega just announced that the Dreamcast was also a "test", while winking in tbe direction of Sony headquarters.
If it was a test can they end it now and release a version of linux or android 2+ for it- I'll buy one then
Price: Almost twice as much as other PSP models, not to mention that you could now buy a home console for less.
Support: Digital games available weeks behind physical game releases. Large portion of PSP game library unavailable in digital format.
Library: Buy all games again. Not compatible with any UMD. And no way to convert UMDs (you already paid for) to digital format.
Testing?...Check, check.....TESTING!?

The sent out surveys, they ran focus groups, they did omit the Destructoid fanboy sheeple, but they collected data and gave it a try. Like Natal, only fun.
It's funny to know that all gamng companies never admit when something sucks ass in their end. I laugh at bs.... From gaming companes, they always give me a good laugh
I bought my PSP a week after the Go released. It was a 3000.
Look Sony, I like to think you're cool, but you're making it so hard to do when you say things like this. The PSP Go was nothing short of a joke, the fact that you're backpedaling and reminding us about it is even more laughable.

Fuck Sony! All their nickel and diming, selling broken hardware, and selling out to the casuals, go to hell! And all their PSP models: DS, DSi, DSXL, 3DS. Damn them to he'll for trying.
I know for most of you discerning gamers the Go is a total fail, but none of its failings are really a problem for me.
I don't care that I have a proprietary cable instead of the old standard USB cable. I don't care that I can't buy cheap UMDs because I WANTED to get rid of my UMDs and switch to digital content only. The price point wasn't a problem once I traded in my psp-2000 and my UMDs, especially considering that I was going to have to spend a large chunk of change on a new mem stick if I decided to stick with my 2000 (also my 2000's d-pad was failing on me so I was going to have to get a new one eventually anyway). The control layout isn't uncomfortable to me. So far I haven't had an issue with wanting a game that wasn't available on PSN. I haven't used any homebrew since my psp-1000. Any other major deal breakers?
For most people the Go doesn't make sense, but it was exactly what I wanted from my PSP. Smaller, sleeker, sexier, more internal storage, no umd drive, blue tooth compatibility with my stereo headset, pause game feature, etc.
You can sit and talk shit about the Go all day long, I'm not defending Sony's handling of it, but I would just like to state that I, for one, do NOT feel like a total dumb fuck for buying one. Different strokes for different folks (rip, Gary). Most of the problems people have with the Go I considered to be pros.

The PS3 is the value priced product. Everything else seems like a premium priced peripheral / add-on.
It doesn't surprise me when competing core products have aggressively engineered failure rates - and year after year kids continue to buy them.
Kids don't do product research homework before purchasing. They aren't educated consumers. As for adults, they can read and do research - but they would rather not on their days off.

To those comparing Nintendo's nickel-and-diming to Sony's nickel-and-diming:
The difference between the two is that Nintendo is actually GOOD at it. They are nickel-and-diming us, to be sure, but every new form
factor Nintendo's released has had at least one new feature with which to entice us. Be it a downloadable games store (and as shit as DSiWare normally is, at least yyou actually have to own a DSi to know for sure what you think of it) or a simple screen size change (and if you don't think that actually entices people, you're wrong), there has always been at least one new feature that justifies a purchase for at least a few people. The Go only subtracted features, and it's from a company who lacks enough market share in the handheld space to actually make that seem like a good idea.
Also, you'll notice that most DSiWare titles are original, whereas a lot of the better Minis can be had for cheaper on the iPhone.
To Sony: GodDAMN did you guys learn the wrong lesson from this. It's not just that people want their physical media, it's that you can't just subtract features from a product you already put out and sell it.
(And I know someone will say PS3 SLIM, but that has a bigger hard drive, a slimmer form factor, and costs a halfway acceptable amount of money, so there are clear advantages to the thing.)
Oh, and don't charge for new cables and new memory sticks just because you want more money. If we're going to pay twice as much for something shittier, our old shit ought to at least work with the thing.
Oh, and also? Don't charge twice as much for something that lacks features of the thing it's supposed to replace. When you take things out, you charge LESS, guys. Even Apple does THAT.

Anyone that defends the PSPGo needs to earn themselves a Darwin Award. Various websites had theories where the PSPGo could have been great. It could have been worth buying, but instead Sony fucked it up.
Why do you always post this #Industry Bullshit about the #PSP? #Sony is #Utterly pathetic! #ZOMG Jim moar anti-Sony bias ZOMG
Worthless post to worthless news.

To borrow from Full Metal Jacket, however tall SCEE president Andrew House is, is apparently how high you can stack bull shit.
to borrow from full metal jacket even further.... if I'm going to die for a word it sure isn't going to be freedom....its going to be puntang. :D
and now he's on that show Chuck haha

@bolduk: And let me guess you think I'm a MS fanboy don't you? Well hate to break your bubble but I actually only own the ps3 of this generations consoles. I just see all the rabid fanboys on here and i enjoy making fun of them. It just so happens Sony fanboys are the easiest to make fun, cause they always take it personally. MS and Nintendo Fanboys usually don't ever give a flying fuck. Or at least from my experiences and what i've seen.
I spit in Sony's general direction. I don't mind poeple or company's making mistakes, but at least own up to it. You've gone down even further now in my estimations, you lying toads.
