Wonder if you could use a friend's old PSP/UMD... 3 free games for everyone!

Nothing against PSP Go and I think it looks cool and all but I collect good games so, I prefer the actual copies of the games I want. If the games are PSN exclusive, then fine I can download them too, my PSP3000 and 16GB memory stick can handle it. So if Sony makes PSP Go with UMD I might consider getting one.

I have a friend who buys every system to hit the shelves so i will wait and check out his PSP Go and see if it's worth buying.

So far I am leaning towards getting one. I have a PSP but I don't own that many games as I primarily use it as a SNES emulator. I wouldn't be missing the UMD that much.

Tekken, GoW or GTA should also be on that list. Pretty sad choice if you ask me. Only a few are worthwhile and I already own those on UMD.

But it's still better than nothing i guess for someone crazy enough to get a PSP Go. But we also have to see if a 'deal' like this would ever even come to North America.

I'm afraid i'll stick to my older PSP's and my 80+ umd collection for a long time. Until they will release a PSP2, which most likely will take many years... if ever...

This system is in no way better than the regular PSP, it's just another format-controlling, insane cash-grab from Sony

No sell for me.. keeping my 2000

So if I already sold my PSP 2000 at gamestop for 100 dollars off a PSP Go then I pretty much own useless UMDs right now? Ugh, I was actually trusting Sony to come up with some sort of way of transferring the UMDs you already own over to the Go. Big mistake, time to cancel my preorder. :/

What, no God of War?

The really ridiculous thing about this is that Sony could actually use this method for physical to digital exchanges. I swear, it really is like 1 step forward, 2 steps back with Sony.

PSP1000, I'm never gonna get rid of your hacked ass. Don't worry buddy.

Hmm, I must be missing something with all of the anger surrounding the UMD-less PSP Go.

So, keep your PSP-1/2/3000 for your UMD games (and homebrew), and buy the newer PSP for new games. Like how I have to keep my old DS to play GBA games, and I use my DSi to play new games.

AND Sony will give you three free games if you prove you've bought a game in the past. What's the problem here?

I own about 60 UMDs so this is definately a no go for me.

It doesn't exactly apply to me, since I don't have a PSP, but I can see why some people are less then thrilled by this.

But again, I don't have a PSP, so I've been looking into getting the Go since I found this: http://www.gamesncs.com/rd_p?p=191613&t=9528&a=28522-PSPGo&c=&gift=29648

What if one is purchasing the PSP Go because their UMD PSP is broken? If I have a stack of old UMDs, then I cannot use this option, right?

I don't see why current PSP owners are bitching so much. No one is making them get a PSPgo. Just don't get one, keep getting UMD games and downloadable titles, and shut up already.

For people that don't have a PSP, the Go doesn't look that bad (although it IS expensive).

I don't have a psp, but it would make more sense to have the ability to back up your entire UMD library for free, cause you know, you own the game and all.

I believe I've detected a bit of a snafu in the headline of this post. An "upgrade" happens when you switch from a device with fewer features to one with more. When discussing a switch from a PSP to a PSP Go, the correct term would be "downgrade."

Are you talking to me or to Charlie? Either way, you have the wrong person.

I too was hoping the PSP Go would bring more to the table, for example a second analog stick, and I can't deny that it is expensive.

I own a PSP 2000 which is running custom firmware. I do have a good library of UMD games and I homebrewed for the very purpose of playing these games without carrying around my discs. So, on the face of it, having a new, more expensive model with a smaller screen and same battery life seems worse than pointless.

However, given the fact that there's no light on the horizon for custom FW beyond v5, I will be buying the PSP Go; and this is probably exactly where Sony's thinking has led them. I want to play new titles like GT - and even "older" PSN titles like Colin McRae Rally 2005 require v5.51 FW - and I want to continue with the convenience I have grown accustomed to: that of carrying them round without UMD. I can't even access the Playstation Store any more from my current PSP.

So, a free download of GT, and three games I don't already is taking away some of the pain. (Although, I saw mention of Patapon 2 being on the list but I only saw Patapon?)

I got GT for free which cost 40 euro
resistance which kost 35 euro's
that already is a tottal of of 75 euro's and I can still pick 2 free games.

dont forget about the free GT offer is you register before 11 Oktober
