Biggest problem is that now they don't have to pay for UMD production and therefor the price should be signifigantly less.

It's as if the SNES, N64, Gamecube, Saturn, Dreamcast, etc. etc. were all backwards compatible and this was an earth shattering event. Hell, a PS2 slim is so small, you could probably case mod it into the PS3. You can even mount a PS2 slim on the wall behind your HD TV (I know someone that has done just that).

Which doesn't change one iota that Sony will drop the standard PSP leaving only the PSP Go. This will be done for Sony profits (they think) and Sony convenience which doesn't factor in what the customer wants.

I like my PSP1001. They would have sold a lot more UMD movies if they hadn't been as expensive as DVDs of the same movie!

Unless the PSP go's are outselling the older model PSP's I highly doubt they will just drop support like that. I do agree with the UMD comment. But what pissed me off was how they sold them like and they was jsut barebones movies.

Never thought of that..Good Point!

how come the whole PSP library is not available on PSN..to me that is a kick in the nuts if I bought a PSP Go. I myself am having a hard time finding Snoopy vs the Red Barron..So I thought I DL for PSP..nope not there..I would settle for DL version and buy the PS2 version for a hard copy. Not smart... Sony!

How could you not think of that? that's the FIRST thing I think of when I hear DLC vs. hard copy, that's why I bitch about Wii VC and WiiWare so much, especially when the same fucking game on the iPhone is half as much.

If Sony drops the original PSP and the PSP discs completely, I'm going back again to the DS.

At least Nintendo's problem with their handheld IMO is that they center the majority of their games around too young of a consumer base for me and not a bullshit excuse for people to get on PSN and download games for prices that Sony dictates. I like going to Gamestop and picking up a ditzy PSP game for 6.99.

Wiiware the consumer's choice is only DL so from that point the prices are decent for me. VC is different there is no other option unless you want to hunt down original copies and systems. Not like their making the systems anymore (officially). So in regards to PSN and UMDs I think the same could be said for PS3/X360 full version games selling for the same as hard copy, which is major BS. 29.99 for Bioshock no thanks Ill get used for 18.99 or new as greatest hits for 19.99 or whatever it is now.

or just get custom firmware and say "Fuck you Sony, if you can't give it to me how I want it, I won't pay at all!"
