Seriously, $250? Sony really doesn’t have a fucking clue what the hell they are doing. The original PSP launched in the US at the same price point and people thought it was crazy then, and it is still crazy now. Sony wonders why the fuck nobody buys there shit these days when all they need to do is look at their competition. I can buy a fucking Xbox 360 for $50 LESS than the PSP Go and the Nintendo DSi sells for only $170.
Aside from the fact that the new PSP Go looks like Eric Cartman, they haven’t changed anything that would make it more expensive from what I can tell. They put in the 16GB of memory but they removed the UMD drive and that is about it. Because of these minor changes, I can’t understand how they can increase the price to $250, especially when the currently PSP 3000 sells for $170 and you can buy a 16GB SD card for $30. If I am doing my math correctly I am only coming to a total of $200, and then you have to factor in that not manufacturing the UMD drive would have to cut manufacturing costs.
The PSP Go continues to prove to me that Sony is completely out of touch with the consumer.
