PSP nooooo don't goooo!

Poor PSP.

This PSP is about to Go away

Who didn't see this coming?

The PSPgo?  Hmmm mighty interesting.

Klepek articles coming thick and fast....I like :)

I'm sure they'll fly out the door, what with the NGP on its way.

" This PSP is about to Go away "

Hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave!

It's time to take the PSP out back and put it down for good.

Such an ill-conceived advice. Digital content is rad, but that thing was a nightmare.

Wait, wasn't this confirmed on Gamasutra (via a statement to Japanese site AV Watch)?

Are PSP 3000's still in production, or did that end a while ago? I know they were running concurrently with the Go for a while, but I don't know if it's still going. It would be weird if Sony are completely abandoning the PSP this far away from the NGP release. They have got to still be selling one model of the PSP, surely?

There was a cheapassgamer thread about some store clearing these out. I think it was Costco, but I may be wrong. Some locations had them as low as ~$55. Bye bye, PSPgo.

It's only the Go that's leaving.  The 3000 will still be around for a while since it's a more versatile machine and they're still making sales over in Japan thanks to Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy reissues.  

@MattyFTM:  Joystiq said this of the 3000 today:

According to the site [Playstation.com], the only PSPs currently in production are PSP-3000s in black, white, silver, pink, blue, and red.

I'd say I feel sorry for anyone that bought one, but they should have known better.

God damnit. You win. "

think all this was put in motion all due to the Earthquake/Tsunami that went down recently causing alot of places to halt production on many different products due to some companies not able to produce anything right now

The problem with it was the PSP store, it sucked. They need sales and events like steam otherwise people aren't compelled to buy anything.

No time for mourning.  Spill the beans on NGP!

It wasn't meant to be. :/

Gotta get those Gos.

KLEPEK! I love you! So much!

Also yeah psp whatever, portable gaming sucks etc.

might pick one up for emulators.

How does it handle, form factor wise?

No matter how bad it sold, no one can deny it is a pretty sexy piece of hardware.

I bought a PSP go last month from Sony's online store. I did this simply as a collector. The bonus was that I guess they have an overstock of them and they sent me the one with LBP, Ratchet, and SOCOM included with it. So I felt way less guilty about buying it.

Yep.  Retailers are about to start clearing them out big time.  As of this Thursday, Best Buy (Canada), is going to be selling PSP Go's for $129.99 plus tax. 

I said, from the moment I saw this announced at E3 that this is just not going to fly.  Who wants to pay more money for a smaller screen, cramped controls and a system of buying games in which you can NOT under any circumstances resell those games?  They should have just released the GO at $129 originally and maybe they would have had success, but it certainly should not have been more expensive than the PSP 3000.  Worst strategy ever.

Never had a PSP.  Since everything is going digital anyway, I may pick one up when/if the price significantly drops.

" @chickdigger802:  You can't get emulators on a PSPgo. Sorry. "

I thought this thing died more than a year ago.

Good riddance.

I think it truly died when it was announced.

I totally called this two weeks ago. The PSP Slim got a price cut in Europe and on the same day several major Dutch retailers (including our equivalent of Amazon) stopped offering PSP Gos.

It was doomed to fail from the beginning.

Dunno if I should buy one and keep it sealed for collector's sake.

Almost bought one from Sams Club for $65

Ultimately, it was a project that was sunk by the fact that it launched at a higher price than the PSP-3000 and offered no benefit over it. Had there been some great PSPgo exclusive games, then it might have gained some traction, but alas it was not to be.

Isnt the PSP2 evidence that the PSP Go is on its way out?

"... red Kanji ..."

Now this is more like it, even tried to contact the company to get a response at least.  Nice job.

it makes me feel so superior to have a post count higher then a staff members

well this will only lead to the NGP which is hopefully good stuff for Sony.

Hi Patrick!
