just like anything Sony will adapt and change its marketing to appeals to the masses

All i’ve had with the psp is trouble but okay it was solved, but the one thing that pushed it straight over the edge was the fact that I payed £20 to get some points and I got them, no problem but I brought final fantasy XII (7) for £7.99 and half-way through the ridiculously long download It kept disconnecting and showing an error message and has repeated this 5 or more times. So considering this is the only option with the psp go, it would be a product from hell for me. The message that haunts my dream. A connection error has occured (80411084) SONY GET YOURSELF BACK INTO SHAPE, to be beaten by the DS, God help you.

Sony went downhill after ps2, but reasons psp doing so bad is the hackers that hacl thier psp to get free games, that alone makes game devolpers not wanting to make games on psp. Seeing games like call of duty black ops for ds and psp just makes me mad. Sony just make a whole new psp.

The last poster is spot on. The PSP 3000 is only a few features away from perfect. If Sony added a phone and camera, Apple would be hurting for iPhone sales. Why can’t Sony just ask one kid what to do? Who do they use as designers? Anyway, in addition to the features listed above, why not let us burn our own UMDs?! How different are they from the mini-disk technology that Sony managed to strangle? It really doesn’t take a genius to figure out this market. With an excellent device like the PSP, let it evolve. Just one more jab – what on Earth is with the “B” wifi on a device released in 2009? It can’t even connect to most current routers due to security issues. What was Sony thinking?! OK, one more – what’s with the Memory Stick?! Kill it and let us use SD cards. What is Sony thinking!!!!!!

OK – so Sony PSP is a fine piece of equipment.

I believe sales would go CRAZY for a device that had at least the following:
> Capability to upgrade existing UMD’s to downloadable content, plus allow this content to be ‘traded’/sold with others
> non-proprietary connectors should be on the system (memory/headphones/USB/etc..)
> allow mainstream memory types to be used for expansion
> provide capability to plug in a usb stick for media trade/playback
> Bluetooth
> Wireless N – not B
> capability to play all types of media natively without requirement for conversion (avi/mpeg/etc…)
> Decent wifi browser
> Internet Radio (yes, PSP has it, but bodgy).
> Keep price reasonable and charge reasonable prices for DLC – focus on adding content and selling more quantity to boost revenue, not gouge for the unit and selling just a few games.
> Integrate internet telephone capability
> Include 3+ MP camera in all units (front and back)
> Include GPS functionality in all units

Just a few thoughts… Get on-board Sony – sink or swim – don’t let Apple and MS lead the way!

Told you so…… I hope the fanboyz are crying all over their PSPgo.

Add second thumb stick and put more memory into it. It will then be able to support real FPS games instead of the REPEATED top down recreations of game that are full FPS on other consoles. Duh !!!!!!!

Sony has a habit of doing stupid things. It is as if they refuse to listen to customers.

Why would you pay more for a more limited device? I love the original PSP, games are always cheap on clearance because no one owns a PSP. Those games are on UMD. I don’t mind internet connectivity and the ability to download games, but why isolate the user from the existing library of UMD games that are easily available? If the user could buy games on UMD when needed and not waste their storage space downloading them they’d probably have a more marketable device. I’d I were Sony I’d have tried to make the UMD drive thinner and lighter.

yeah it’s a failure… removing the umd and replacing it with a hard drive is just another reason why more people will hack the
psp go
