Amazing?

PS2 rules.

Ah Sony, take the hint and do something awesome with the PSP. Give us a 4000 model and the PSP2 a year later. Give us a better firmware with trophies and friends. People like the PSP... do good stuff with it!

PSPgo – 836 (631) :o

Sony release PSP-4000 with a UMD driver and I'll buy this model instead of 3000. :P

PSP games are cheap but people just got used to "free psp games".

forget PSP 4000, just make a PSP2 with full backward compatibility and let you play old PSP games with anti aliasing. And make it cheap of course, lower than 250.

250 what?
I say they should do something like that but for £199 or under.

Of course the PSP2 will have b/c though... Sony have recently said online-only isn't going to work.

Sadly the fact the Psp is still selling well in Japan means Sony are just gonna drag their feet with releasing Psp2, i mean they hardly making any effort with it outside Japan and the thing is slowly dying, i just kinda wish Japan stops buying it so Sony's forced to make an effort with it.

i dont understand... in an expensive shop close from here called Bart smith they are selling PSP 3000 for 125 euro and a PSP go for 249 euro. I dont understand, why didn't sony discontinued PSPgo already to ATLEAST 199 euro. On the internet you can buy a used pspgo in perfect condition for 100~140 with very little buyers.
Sony just screwed them up.
