PSP Go! - What happens to all my old games?

danielanthony · 8 Jul 2009 at 09:44

I dont know if the PSP Go! has been discussed already:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8080452.stm

But as there is no UMD slot, what happens to those of us who want the new console and have a selection of UMD games?

Is anyone here going to get one? I am tempted, but 16Gb doesn't seem big enough for an extensive collection of games. I thought PSP games were about 1.5Gb each, does this sound right?

Quick google and i found this

Hopefully a good sign

Thanks for that, tis good that we're not going to get screwed by Sony

I always pay for games as I believe they are actually value for money, so would be gutted if all my UMD's were defunct!

thing is, id like UMD's and if everyone gets rid of them it means ill be able to buy them all cheaper 2nd hand

Pre-order for £250 !! I can't see who they are aiming that at really. Not even half tempted

Ah so it is. Every little helps

Still a lot of money. ^^^ no it's the 16bg model

Will we be able to convert imports and obscure japanese titles? I doubt it

Not a problem for most people though.

As above really, it's a very attractive product as I'd love all my games to be on the console rather than carrying a load of discs around with me but I wouldn't pay anywhere near £200 for it nevermind £250.

£130 would be my limit really, and yes I bought the DSi but I took advantage of an offer and traded an old DS lite in that was tatty.

Yeah dont you hate when companies try to make profits, they should give us it for free

Loosecannon · 3 Aug 2009 at 22:19

I have it pre ordered for £180.

I will cancel it however based upon the announcement on how you will be able to play disc games/old collections - none of this rumoured to be etc.

If it isnt backwards compatible from the start I will just wait till its cheaper...

Soon as the modding scene get a hold of it its only a matter of time, allthough the 3000 model is still causing trouble so im not holding my breath for anything soon

Ill still be buying one regardless, still recon the psp has been one of my all time best purchases, still running an original japanese release PSP-1000 and loving it

You should get a slim & lite, it feels so much better in the hands! I had 2 fat PSPs as I didn't want to fork out extra but my third one is the slim & lite, it's how the PSP should have been originally.

true, the PSP Go could be amazing if mods are easy and we can get emulators etc to run

That's roughly the price of the 3000 series.

The added 16gb would make it worth more, no?

Personally I would say £150 is more realistic for the PSP Go, especially since the 3000 and others will probably drop in price too.

CliffyBiro · 4 Aug 2009 at 17:14

I think £200 is reasonable, especially when you look at how much people spend on Apple branded products.
