I never really had any idea how it would be possible to do without people passing on games for free so I can fully understand the problems this would make for SCE to do it. <br><br>I thought a idea, if all the new UMD games come with a code (like the digital portable versions of films in some Blu-Ray films) so when you buy the UMD version, you also get a digital one too. This would make retailers like the Go more, as well as make the sales of both the 3000 and Go rise as people may start to own both consoles for this reason.<br><br>But maybe a fresh start is needed for the Go. I will still be grabbing myself a Go on launch, as Europe gets 3 free downloadable games AND Grand Tursimo to get you started; so that's FOUR games with a PSP Go! I don't understand why SCEA are not putting up this offer too, it's a great package to get people buying the Go at the start.

But then again, the US is a large market that they cannot ignore There is some point to that, as they sell the PSPgo for $250 in the US and EUR 250 (=$370) in Europe.

Not only will this discourage existing PSP owners from buying a PSP Go, but it will also keep some perspective buyers (like me) from getting one as well. I was about to buy my first PSP, a 3000, when the Go was announced. I thought I would hold off since Sony said the Go would have UMD support. Now I know I won't be purchasing a Go.<br><br>I want to have the flexibility to use both physical media (UMDs) and digital downloads. Why? Because I wanted to be able to pick up UMD movies, older games, and pre-owned games, which are all UMD based. Having digital downloads be the only way to purchase ties the consumer to one price point. I'm a comparative shopper, and I want the flexibility to buy things on sale or pre-owned, especially given the current economy. There are no pre-owned digital downloads, and it also removes any competitive pricing between retailers.<br><br>If I get a PSP now, it will not be a PSP Go. Bad move, Sony.

I feel more like buying a back up PSP 3000 if anything.
