Is the PSP Go too expensive?

$250 sounds like a lot for the devise, making it over $60 more expensive than the 3000. I thought it would be the same price (or cheaper) considering it has less "stuff" in it. Or is my thinking wrong? Is there an upgrade I'm not aware of? I'll have to wait and see how well its supported post-launch. If it ends up getting the same-ol' PSP third-party support, no thankyou sir!

Also, is it officially called PSP GO? I just remember Kaz saying 'we have a lot of names for this".

I thought it was gonna be $200.  It has a smaller screen but 16 gigabytes of internal memory.  I don't know hopefully it will be worth it.

Since i already have one, yes. I dont think Sony understands that concept though

Jack Trenton said at the end of the conference that they aren't contempt with where they are right now. To me, keeping the same price point for two years now for the PS3 and $250 for a slidy PSP.

It is absolutely about $100 overpriced.

I guess I will just stick with my PSP for now, 250 is too much, might as well buy a Wii instead.

I was pretty shocked when they said the price point. I think it's definitely way too expensive. It shouldn't be anymore than $200 max.

its more of a multimedia PSP than a gaming PSP... you

Yes.

I think that it is definitely too high. I guess ill stick to my original psp for now until the go drops price. (175-200) seems like a good decent range for me.

I think if they are going to say that each product offers two different experiences they need to keep the prices somewhat close together. Besides, it seems you get a better value with the PSP 3000 because you can get cheaper games opposed to a digital distribution only service.

Maybe a bit. Depends on what it can do in hand.

Definitely overpriced. That is close to PSP "1000's" launch price ($300.00)

..and what the hell is with this "1000, 2000, 3000" bullshit? Can't believe they are making a fourth PSP already, none of them being direct sequels to the original either.

Oh, here's a press release detailing all of the PSP Go!'s specs. What a fucking joke. still at B-spec wireless and a normal shitty LCD screen with no details on the battery? What? Sony can go fuck themselves on that one.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a feeling that they will keep that price stable through the holiday season and phase out the PSP 3000 after Christmas, lowering the PSP Go to $200 in February 2010. I can wait that long.

In the immortal words of the "Macho Man" Randy Savage:

I really want this new PSP Go but I feel that Sony has limited me by pricing it @ $250. I have sooo many other GAMING things I could purchase for that loot.

I think it is.  This Christmas people will look at the DSi and PSP Go! and say "Hey, the DSi is cheaper.  I'll get this on for little Timmy."

Yeah, too expensive. This was the PSP I wanted, but now I still might wait some more.

Yeah. I was really shocked, because none of the features seemed like anything much better than the original PSP (I have an 8GB Memory Stick), so the same price for the 3000, up to $200 seems like the most reasonable price to me.

Yea it seems overpriced to me. 16gb internal memory? Ok..? It has a smaller screen. still no second nub. And is it touch screen? From the looks of it, I thought it would be like a nano with the ipods. Something smaller and cheaper. It sucks because I was looking forward to buying a PSP this year. Guess i'll just have to wait.. fuck! 

I just think it's stupid that PSP and PSP go use different memory slot...

It definatley seems overpriced but I still find it very compelling.

Wicked retarded, also ps3 needs a freaking price cut of $100 right now!

As much as I was waiting for the rumored redesign of the PSP, I think this is too expensive so I think I'll wait I untill Sony finally gets a clue and make significant price reduction...

Way too expensive. It's like they ran out of the R&D money for the touch screen but forgot to tell the people who set the msrp. It's weird that they seem to think the psp's size is limiting it's sales so much. At least a noticeable increase in software support is coming with it.

Sony is trying to compete with the Iphone, problem is for them, the iphone games are all under 10 bucks.  Plus there's the whole lack of a phone deal.  Though I am a touch surprised the PSP has sold... 50 million? 

Don't you nah-sayers read the papers?  Sony needs your money.  Besides, you are not just buying a portable gaming device, you are purchasing a brand identity that identifies you as an individual who understands quality and demands nothing but the finest in their gaming hardware.  You are buying membership to a very special group who have the vision to see the future and want to be a part of a better tomorrow.  A tomorrow brought to you by Sony, today...and by "today" I mean this fall.

Yeah, it's over priced by a minimum of $50.00.

It looks nice and Sony hardware is usually very good so I dont mind paying how every much it will be in the UK (my guess around £180)

WAY too expensive. About $70 I would say.

The iPod touch is overpriced, PSP GO, not so much.

Is the PSP Go too expensive?

yes it is

At the moment I do not see the value in the PSP Go but maybe as time goes on and they release games and stuff for it , I might consider getting one.
