SCEJ confirms end of PSP Go shipments

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has seemingly made the PSP Go's demise official. Japanese audio visual site Phileweb has reportedly received confirmation from SCEJ that shipments and production of the handheld will not be continuing. All PSP Go sales from now on ill be limited to the units that remain in stock.

 

Gaming news site Andriasang also reports that SCEJ has pasted "shipment ended" notices to the PSP Go listings on the official Japanese PlayStation website. These notices can be seen in red in the lower right-hand corner of the images below.

Word of Sony halting production of the UMD-less handheld crept out earlier this week when a link to it was removed from the Sony Store Games page. Orders can still be placed for the system although it is currently out of stock. There's also no word on when stock will be replenished. Similar out of stock notices have also started popping up on the European Sony Store.

 

Sony has yet to say anything official about the issue. Yesterday, SCEE released a statement but did not address the PSP Go directly, instead choosing only to assure consumers that they will continue to meet demand for "the current generation of PSPs".

It won't be missed. It was too expensive for what it was worth.

It's about time, they should've ended long time ago, though.

Let's at least hope Sony learn from its failure.

Although everyone hates it for it's restrictions by Sony, it's really a homebrew haven thanks to HEN. For legit buyers though, it's a financial disaster. At least I got mine when I did.

Just because PSPgo can read homebrew it doesn't turn from bad to a good device.

The buttons/controls are too small and badly placed.

Do you own one? I do, and honestly, hardware wise it's perfect. The analog might seem like it's in an awkward position, but in reality the Go is so small it isn't at all much of a stretch on the thumb. The Dualshock 3 is actually worse in that regard. The buttons are nice and responsive, the whole unit is as solid as it gets and Sony doesn't appear to have done anything on the cheap.

They really took a leaf out of Apple's success story with the PSP, it was just the lack of practicality in the software department that killed it.

It's a brilliant piece of kit, but I'm glad it's officially dead. The value of mine should shoot right up. :D

I did but not any more, couldn't stand using such garbage device.

PSP-3000 > PSPgo

This was an excellent move from Sony, they weren't making any profit of it, so they dropped it permanently.

I'm aware of that, however, the idea was better portability. It fits better in your pocket, holds more stuff internally, has a better screen, bluetooth compatibility, and the convenient slide feature (would make some homebrew apps better and allow for new useful plugins). Yeah, the controls are puny and difficult sometimes to deal with, but this isn't a console. It's not meant for 5 straight hours of gameplay, hence why the battery doesn't last long.

"...holds more stuff internally,..."

I never thought about that.

A 40 gig SSD would hold everything you needed now that its cracked.

A 40 gig card would probably be as much as a second PSP.

I've got my 8 Gig'er chucked full just with the games I really need and dont have extra room for any comics or vids or stuff.

Quoting PS360 Owner1:

IDK why everyone thought that the controls were in a bad place, they weren't. I don't own one, but I did get my hand on one and it felt really comfortable. Like Zenshua91 said, Its a great machine but it not being able to read UMDs is what made this great machine bad.

It almost had everything that everyone wanted in the PSP (especially the internal HDD). It was smaller, but it felt right. The buttons felt much better, and where the analog was placed felt natural.

its about f'n time... it was not that bad of a device, but it was limited and was not worth its production.

@UltimaXVII, i agree with you. The PSP Go is amazing. PS360 Owner1, get a fucking life. You probably can't afford it and that's why you fucking diss the PSP go on every article. just because a review said sp you think the buttons are tiny and cramped. Well, take advice from a guy who knows, who can fucking afford it that it's much better than you think.

On a side note, i think that the 3rd birthday looks gorgeous on the go, anyone agree?

Gameboy Micro, anyone?

That isn't a fair comparison, I still have my Micro and love the damn thing.

i loved mine when i had it... but it seem a little rickety and buttons were to close together. other then that it was a great device... now... im really looking forward to the npg, just hope it has weight to it and feels sturdy.

Meh, if only Sony actually fixed the problem with people who actually bought their stupid UMDs.

Though, I would rather carry a PSP Go around.

Now that I can transfer my UMDs over to it, and have collected enough accessories for it, I actually like it. I get good use out of the bluetooth features.

The one critical design flaw was the battery, which they could have easily fixed.
