    put it like a controller put the Start and Select button horizontally, so you have place for the other analog stick

    That's a bit pricey :(

    I would have expected a better price.

    It's even worse for Brits... There's very little doubt in my mind that the PSP Go will be £200 ($330) over here. Why? The PSP-3000's RRP is £50 more expensive that it's equivalent price in America. I don't see why Sony would decide against increasing the price of the PSP Go by £50 when it comes out over here, either. Which means, in short, that I will not be getting one.

    everything costs more over here, Britain holds the dubious title of 'most expensive country in Europe'

    I guess who've never been to Australia before. We are a PAL region that get our games from the UK.

    In Australia, a new release PS3 games costs $120 AU. That's about $97 US. Now if that isn't expensive, I don't know what is.

    That's only a little more than over here... We pay £50 for new PS3 games, you pay a little less than £60. But definitely far too much, no matter how you try to swing it. You should import from America, since it's cheaper for us and must be a lot cheaper for you.

    Thanks I may check that out. It might come in handy, as some games just never get released here.

    I watched the video presentation for this, http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/may/30/psp-go-at-e3
    Link still working as I post this.

    As the woman slid open the PSP Go I was thinking this looks like a very cheaply made flimsy piece of crap.

    I never liked UMD and I think Sony should have got rid of it after PSP 1000, but will Sony offer the option to rip UMD's back into the PSP Go? Somehow I very much doubt it. Sony do not appreciate past investment. Before the fanbois flame me Nintendo are also guilty as the DSi cannot play GBA games, but the DSi is not a GBA and the PSP Go is a PSP.

    On the positive side Sony say they are not doing away with the PSP 3000(flimsy), yet.

    As I own a PSP 1000 and my son owns a 3000 I honestly think the PSP Go marks the end of what could have been an interesting handheld platform. With the Go all I see is greed before design and before customer respect. For those that have never had a PSP I guess it could be a winner, however I suspect many gamers who wanted a PSP will already have one and the GO offers very little to them.

    LoL, indeed, you do need to skip a bit. The Sony guy reminds me of David Miscavige http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Miscavige I feel dirty now.

    I really, really hate the design of this thing. It's way too round and the metal bits make it look cheap... even though it's very pricey especially for us here in Britain.

    If that price stands then I guess they will not be selling too many GO's in the UK especially as the 3000 will still be available. Me thinks they are killing off the PSP platform.

    Quite possible. They're evidently so desperate to gain some ground against the DS that they're becoming reckless.

    I realized that if I put a 10$ on that 250$ worth PSP, I can get 2 DS

    I worked out that, for £20 more, I could buy a second 60Gb PS3. :-\

    Is this going to have exclusive games? Or would it use the same games as the regular PSP's. I mean PSP 3000 came out just recently and now this....

    Would PSP Go games work on PSP 1000 - 3000 and vice versa?
