PSP Go! (PSP2) Wishlist

Seeing how well the premium-priced PS3 is doing in this economy, it would be a brilliant idea to throw a MORE EXPENSIVE system out there! ;)

PS3 is cheap for what you get. If you want a Blu-Ray player which is good as PS3's, you have to buy 800€ Blu-Ray player. It's amazing media center for everyone. Beats XBOX in every category.

I'm glad to pay little more for quality and useful products. PS3 costs 350€ and XBOX 360 200€, 350€ - 250€ = 150€, 1 year of XBOX live = 70€, WLAN for XBOX 90€ = 160€. So XBOX with features which I need is more expensive. Of course lit lacks more features than I listed

You completely missed my point.
 
Speaking of BluRay players, Costco have a well known brand (Sony, Samsung, something like that) for £80. So the PS3 being used as a BluRay player only argument falls apart now. FWIW I could buy an arcade 360, spare 20gb HDD, HDMI lead, wifi adapter (though I'm just using my laptop as a wifi bridge) and Bluray player for less than a PS3.

A price cut is needed now. Everything else its competing against got cheaper over the years.
But y'know I'm still holding out that this PSP Go will be a budget model, and going off the leaked photos of the new PS3 that will also be a budget model. By all means keep the high end product for those who don't mind paying but cheaper models will be more than welcome in this current climate.

Except gaming performance and the online experience

Games released on both platforms are almost always better on the 360, both in visual quality and frame rate stability.

The PS3 is technically more powerful, but apart from MGS4 taking advantage of the blue ray, it hasnt produced anything the xbox hasnt done.
 
since currently an xbox + a standalone blu ray player are about the same price as a ps3 as raggedjimmi says sony absolutely needs to do a price drop weather they combine it with a slim model or not

personally i like the design of the slim model as seen from leaks better than the "big" one and would be quite interested at a 199-249 price point
 
Not to steer this away from the fun PS3 vs. X360 fanboy party, but ...

Actual PSP Go related stuff:

Sony Ericsson Dropping Memory Stick Micro

Now here's a hugely welcome turn up for the books...

While meeting Sony Ericsson to discuss something I can't tell you about (sorry, NDA until Thursday) I managed to dig up possibly even more interesting news: the company is dumping Sony's own Memory Stick Micro cards (M2) in favour of MicroSD in its handsets.

The decision was revealed when I quizzed Sony Ericsson Global Marketing Director Fortuné Alexander about the company's use of proprietary technology. As I pointed out last week the new Satio, Aino and Yari phones all had microSD slots and the devices I can't reveal today were also fitted with this widely adopted format. I queried if this was the beginning of the end for M2, if all future Sony Ericsson models would instead use microSD?

"Yes, we are moving in that direction," explained Alexander and in a stroke, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. After all, while Sony Ericsson handsets haven't been as progressive as we would have hoped in recent years their steadfast use of M2 has added an extra ball and chain. Furthermore, such a decision must place a question mark over the future of Sony's entire, convoluted Memory Stick line since only Sony and Sony Ericsson use them at all.

Wow ... the only thing happening in enough volume to bring down MemStickMicro pricing is going away ... yay for even MORE expensive PSP Go storage ... :(

Of course because games WERE made for XBOX mostly but not anymore. Next GTA will be PS3 only 'cause X360 doesn't have enough power and lacks Blu-Ray.

And tell me three key features why XBOX live is better than PSN. I've asked this question at least thousand times and never got a good answer. People thinks it's better but it really isn't and it costs you money

It doesn't matter if its one of the best. If people want a bluray player now its £80 vs £270. My iMac is a fantastic DVD player but I'm not going to buy an iMac for every TV in the house.

Wait what. Where on Gods earth did you get this from :D GTA IV is 6gb, if I'm not mistaken. Which means it can be 50% bigger before DVD is unnecessary, lol.

No, you just never got an answer that fit a fanboys desired outcome ;)
XBL does things the PSN doesn't. Thats the quick answer.

I admit I'm a fanboy but still, I've never heard a good answer. PSN is newer than XBL so of course it lacked some keyfeatures but not anymore. GTA IV was already limited because of X360, and no, it can only be 9GB. Look at this article...

X360 is nice but it can't beat PS3
 
That's what I said, 50% more of 6gb is 9gb. Out of all the absurdly epic games I have on PC and Xbox nothing hits 9gb. Bioshock, Fallout 3, Oblivion, GTA IV. Nowhere near the DVD9 limit.

Oh, me and my maths :D I was counting 12GB but 6GB + 6GB times 50% is of course 9GB :cool:

MGS4 almost hit 50GB in PS3 and next GTA will be over 10GBs, at least I hope so. It's just annoying that games are limited because of X360 but luckily it's going to better way 'cause more games are made for PS3 primarily.

When X360 came, 70% of its processors were faulty and MS knew that! But still didn't pull 'em away.

Just Sony and Apple fanboy talking... :D:apple:
 
My oh my....and all that because I mentioned that hitting the current market with another premium-priced product would not be a good idea... ;)

Can you take the fanboy war out of the PSP Go thread ... PLEASE?

Already did, there must be other threads for this :D

BTW it' only 55 minutes for Sony's turn. Lies and rumors stop and complaining starts as Tallest Skil said

BTW v.2, txa1265, you registered 7 years ago and you have only 98 posts?!?! How is that possible?

Don't really know ... would have to look at my history. Have certainly had a Mac all that time, but my Mac gaming has come and gone, and I've always been multi-platform ... and dealt with so many sites I likely lost site of this place off and on for a while.
 
OK, so it is $250, coming on October 1st.

$30 PSN store games.

No announcement that the WiFi will suck any less than current Slo-Fi mode.

Perhaps the biggest thing is that they might finally un-suck the music player that is currently worse than my 2001 HP548 Pocket PC ...
