PSP Go gets no billboard lovin' in SoHo

Remember that gigantic PSP billboard that Sony put up high and proud over SoHo in New York? Well, if you're expecting a PSP Go version of that for its much-anticipated launch, sorry, but you're gonna have to be disappointed.

Then.


A clothing brand's billboard hangs instead in the place where the giant PSP TV board used to be. The PSP Go, meanwhile, has been grabbed down to the ground to a more reachable level: the Subway billboards.

It's smart to go small, I reckon, especially considering the huge backlash the previous PSP board generated regarding safety issues (and the fact that the PSP Go is bigger in size because of the slide screen), but I wasn't expecting Sony to go that small.

Now.


Weren't they confident enough to cash out some investment for some major advertising? Or maybe, they were that confident that they didn't feel the need to invest that much. Half-empty, half-full.

Smaller, but still certainly in a good spot. Do you realize how many people use the subway each day!?

» it's the audience that matters

The subway commuters are the target customers of the PSPGo, not so much drivers. Okay, probably their child passengers but at that price it's more likely the working young adults buying it ;)

Have you even tried a PSP Go?



I highly doubt you have or your opinion of the system would instantly change.

But why does it say Windows 2000 on the big PSP?

I've bought both a fat and slim PSP and 8 games why should I buy a psp go? You have to re-buy all your games and pay $249.00 for the system. Also it looks more like a t-mobile sidekick (or ipod touch) then a psp.
