Retailer Puts PSPgo’s Price on the Chopping Block
Since the PSPgo launched earlier this month on October 1st, it’s received a lion’s share of bad press, namely due to its $250 price tag. One retailer is hoping to soften the blow to your wallet by offering the PSPgo for $199 as part of a sale.
In a newspaper sale flyer for Fry’s Electronics, it’s been revealed that the major electronics retailer will be offering the PSPgo for $199 after a $50 savings.
The PSPgo, despite all the bad press it’s received, is a great little device. It’s much more portable that the PSP-3000 because of it’s small size, sliding screen, and lack of a UMD drive. Unfortunately because of its tiny size and tech it fetches a luxury price tag.
This latest sale from Fry’s is likely only to last until Sunday, so if you were thinking of buying a PSPgo but have been on the fence, we suggest you act now and save big.
Thanks to Gamingfriek for the tip!

still not worth it.. it has almost no new games, most developers aren’t even releasing them on the PSN just UMD. Not everyone wants old games…
now that’s an awesome deal
IT is worth it. Ive went through two psp 3000, this little guy is perfect, no dumbass umds to haul around
I swear the screen is better, and it being lighter hardware, It is great. I love it.
And you didn’t mention it was the same store selling Uncharted 2 for 50 bucks?…..
Wow.
man i wish there was a frys in modesto califonia but most of em are located in the bay area
at least i go down there every saturday
I wonder if Amazon will do something similar?
@Soldiercell. The screen IS better, that’s not an illusion. All you have to do is see a go and 3000 side by side. And yes, it IS worth it. Just like the PS3 was worth it at $600. People are just cheap and spoiled.
Yeah … I got pretty pissed off when i saw this in the newspaper……i mean if i just waited until today to find about this deal, i would have saved $50……Eh. Oh well…i like getting new playstation products on day 1.
i really hate sony for not making this instead of the PSP 3000 Model to begin with. I buy my first fricken PSP and then sony go and make a brand new one i’m seriously starting to think some things happen for the sole purpose to annoy us as a group of people: The Gamers.
Maybe god hates gamers. I just don’t know anymore but maybe that’s why christians hate gay people becasue it was said that god hates gamers and they assumed he meant “Gaymers”
IIIIIIII unnnoooooo
You’re pretty much paying more for less, i mean…memory as far as hard drives are at an all time low, to tack on an extra ..i unno 100 dollars because you put one in doesn’t seem justified.
Furthermore you can’t even play all of the new releases because all of them aren’t in the PS Store. Is the PSP GO! cool? Yes. Is it $250 cool? lol
not even close
From what I can tell it is $199 – $169 = an extra $30… Which for bluetooth and a 16GB drive seems ok by me, value-wise. I just find it a little small in my hands; I still like the feel of my monstrous PSP-1000
great read! thanks
