Only if they pay me! I've bought the DS and I personally find hand held games to be quite tedious.

No, why would I buy this if I can get the Nintendo Wii for the same price?

ECONOMY, Sony has been losing money and they need to place the PSP Go at a somewhat high price, but you know you will get a quality gaming device, everyone that plays Sony video game systems knows that, that's why they buy it.

Worst purchase of technology I ever made was the original PSP. Haven't turned it on in about a year.

Why buy something that will be cheaper in about a year. The first PSP is still ok. I would not even pay 100 dollars for it. I'm sure there is a PSP 3 GO being made as I type this. BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,

what a dumb article. The price reflects r&d that went into making this new product. The current PSP started out at a higher price than it is currently at. Boo hoo im poor, it gets annoying

I think it's a lie you all just can't make fun of the psp like that i think it's a reasonable price for that it's thinner than the iPhone and it comes with 16 gigs of memory if you add it up it's actually a good price for it. 5 words for y'all PSP IS NOT A FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's better than that cheesy DS

Sony has been struggling with the PS3 sales. PS2, for one, is backing the company up. They hope to gain some money for their losses with the new PSP. Anyone realize that?

Yet another in a long line of bad decisions by Sony's games division.

I have both a PSP and a DS, so I wouldn't consider myself biased or anything as I enjoy them both. That said, this is why Sony is getting their asses kicked. They need to stop coming out with a new redesign every year. It's motivation for people to NOT buy one, since a new and "better" version will probably be released in six months anyway, and the people who bought the previous version are left with a bad taste in their mouths.

Not to mention getting rid of the UMD drive. What they're doing with that is basically taking away our right to sell/trade/lend OUR games to other people. With download-only, none of that is allowed.

And the 250 dollar price tag?? You've got to be kidding me! I could buy a new Xbox 360 for that much.
