In Gameindustry.biz’s continuing series of PSPgo doom-saying, they’ve published thoughts from the managing director of the UK’s largest game specialty store predicting, “PSPgo will fail miserably”. So there you have it, mere days after its release a chain of stores built around a business model the PSPgo directly threatens has predicted its death! It’s almost like this executive is [...] So, the previous post here on relative pricing between UMD and downloaded games for the PSP was really my first attempt at an original news story. I thought the results of my quick research were interesting so I emailed a link to a bunch of different news blogs. The story got some nice traffic from a [...] This week the new download-only PSPgo was released to a surprising amount of rancor across the web. Certain sites have published ill-considered, extremely negative reviews of the device citing things like a high price and no upgrade path for existing PSP owners.

He’s bitching about the price, about the lack of packed in accessories and now about the lack of an upgrade program for people who already own a bunch of UMD games.

From Andrew Yoon’s commentary: While the PlayStation Store is simply offering games at normal retail price, many retailers engage in price wars to gain the loyalty (and dollars) of consumers. Unfortunately, owners of [...] In their thrilling new expose, “PSP Go allows players to save and resume state“, Joystiq scoops the competition by re-reporting a Gamespot UK discovered feature of the soon to be released revision of the Sony portable. You see, the PSP Go will have a handy-dandy feature allowing you to save a game at any point, use [...] Retailers' Bane PlayStation LifeStyle is actually on the tail end of this story about Dutch retailer Nedgames announcing they will not carry the PSP Go this fall. It’s been burning up the other blogs like these sensational stories do. The first thing to note is that Nedgame is a very small chain. They have only 8 locations. That [...] |
