    Pretty random rumor: Sony plans to re-launch the PSP Go with price cut, marketing blitz

    Posted on February 3, 2010 | No Comments
    My idea of market research is to browse various message boards to get a sense of what the people think. I recently found myself on a PSP message board—I'm a baller, you see—and discovered that the kids there (I assume they're kids) now refer to the PSP Go as the PSP No. So yeah, Sony would do well to re-launch that bad boy.

    Ready to burn two minutes of your day? I sure hope so, friend, because after the jump is what very well could be the most exciting deconstruction video ever posted to our fine Internet. Here's hoping that this will become the standard format for the obligatory gadget teardown. I don't think I'm the only one tired of looking at a stale pic of a random device's guts. "Yup, there's a circuit board in there." Anyway, click through to watch the the PSP Go in a stop motion video.

    Yeah, you probably could have guessed that one already, but now someone from Wedbush Morgan has said it, validating your opinion in the process. So the deal is that both Microsoft and Sony are likely to cut the price of their respective consoles this year, probably around summertime. The thing is, because Microsoft’s manufacturing costs are lower, it has the ability to lower the cost more than Sony does

    Oh, dear. The first sales reports of the PSP Go started trickling out yesterday, and they were sorta so-so, let's say. (It's no PS3 Slim, that's for sure!) More details have emerged today, and, again, the PSP Go isn't exactly lighting the world on fire.

    So the PS3 Slim was an absolute monster at retail (look at us, using superlative adjectives on a Monday!), selling one million systems since its release. (Keep in mind that's an old number by now.) How's the PSP Go doing? It's doing well, yes, but I don't think we can call it a monster yet. Sales in the UK were up 120 percent in the week following its launch. We don't have U.S. numbers yet. Sorry.

    The PSP Go has been out for, what, three or four days now, and it's already been partially hacked. (Is that a record?) Amazing.

    Rumored for God knows how long, and teased for months, the Sony PSP Go is finally available at your friendly neighborhood retailer. We have one—well, I have one—and have been playing with it for a couple of days now. As such, consider this a review. Spoiler: It's not bad, but not great either.

    The PSP Go is finally available for purchase after being announced way back at E3. But at $249 and Sony putting the kibosh on UMD transfers, is there anyone planning on buying it?

    Since the PSP Go is coming tomorrow, it was reasonable to expect a firmware update the PSP. We just didn't expect one this full of content. Will it be enough to get the homebrew people to upgrade? Probably not, but for the casual user it's quite the step forward. Can you say tethering? I knew you could.

  • Sony kills (for now, at least) UMD transfer program for PSP Go

    Sony kills (for now, at least) UMD transfer program for PSP Go

    Posted on September 25, 2009 | No Comments
    Oh, Sony. You're so close to being back, and then this happens. As you all know, the PSP Go comes out next week, and judging by all the random unboxings I've seen on various message boards—maybe our PSP Go got lost in the mail? Oh, well.—it looks like a fine, fine piece of hardware. The kicker, though, is: what happens to all those UMD games we've bought over the years? The original plan was to have some sort of trade-in or transfer program, whereby for every UMD you bought, you'd get a code to download the game. (Remember, there's no UMD slot in the PSP Go, so all games have to be downloaded onto the device's memory.) Turns out there's a small glitch.
