I’m getting one regardless of the $250 price tag, it’s consumers like me that Sony are targeting. I would bet the go is not that much more expensive to produce that the current PSP, if at all. There are no moving parts/UMD in the go and hard drives are dirt cheap, especially 16 GB ones. Sony are just getting the early adopters.

Being in the UK its a hella of a turn off. 230 quid…… are you kidding me, the psp-3000 is 130 quid
and with a 80 quid price differnce between the US and UK its too much of a rip off.

with the exchange rate, looks like it’s gonna be about $480 (NZ). 360 pros sell for $450.
Hopefully its gonna be a it cheaper than $480. 3000 series is $330, just less than twice the US$ of $170. Its not looking good..
Still I’ll be getting the psp go – smaller, more battery, and closer to ps3 button layout.

price and proprietary peripherals killed this for me.

The major reason I criticize the price is this… They are competing with Nintendo, Microsoft, and said in interviews that they are competing with the iphone, yet in every single situation they are more expensive than the competition.

If they can make money per unit sold and keep the price at 200 dollars a unit. Digital Media and anti-piracy is such a major importance that they have to do something if they can, but they are trying to be profitable so I’m not going to say “Take a substantial hit on the PSP Go! per unit sold” even if the Go! can help curb how much money they miss out on.

i think it should only be $200. i just got a new 16gb iphone 3g s for $200. not likely im going to want to buy a psp go for more than that.

I don’t see the price as a turnoff. I bought a PSP 2000 for $199 and I thought that was a fair price. I especially think it’s a good price for a system with a 16 GB internal memory.

Just do what I plan on doing, trade in your PSP 1000′s for about $50; 2000′s for about $70; and 3000′s for about $100 and then just save up from now until October when the GO launches.
