i mean it doesn't have umd, and not every game is on the store. so does this mean that you won't be able to play all psp games on the GO!? or are they going to put all the games on the store?

they are going to release every game on the store. This is going to cost a ton of money and they definitely won't see the results they want. Sony should just drop the go, they won't get the profits they want, if any at all.

My understanding of the way things will work is that they'll have some kinda program where if you already own the UMD you"ll be able to acquire a digital copy for free. The way things are going, slightly more and more PSP games are being released download only and new games are being added all the time. So they should have an improved selection by the time the GO hits shelves.

As for whether the GO will fail or not is yet to be seen. This is a huge gamble, what with it being like the 4th iteration of the same system and featuring download only media. Rest assured that the industry will be closely monitoring the GO as the future of gaming seems to be gravitating toward download only media. The success of the Xbox Live Arcade and PSN are clear evidence of this. The GO will show everybody if the industry is ready to make that jump.

It won't cost them hardly anything. That's one reason they're doing a completely digital platform. While I don't see the money rolling in, it's because of the price of the actual system. It's ridiculous. Although if there is a trade in program from UMD to Digital, it could sway alot of people, including myself.

me too, i'd still wait for a price drop, but having all your games on a hard drive and being able to convert umd games to it that would be awesome.

Sony is definitely not going to release every game on the store. They would never be able to secure licensing for everything.

It will probably be around 70% of the PSP's library.

Same here- I can't say whether or not I'll ever get the Go until we learn more about how Sony will handle all those PSP owners who don't want to pay additional money for games they already own on UMDs.

If Sony doesn't come up with anything good for this- then I'll be ignoring the Go.
