Have Kingdom Hearts and Metal Gear been confirmed for PSN release for Go?

And are the three free Go downloads limited to the three listed games?

If birth by sleep isn't going to be on the Go, that three game pack is useless to me. I was hoping we'd get three games with the 3000.

All of those 'favorites' are probably about $2.99 on Ebay right now. The raping of existing PSPGo owners continues unabated.

Edit: Yeah, some of those are actually price increases :lol

That's a download voucher(at least in North America).

No, that's my point. I live in California but I walked into GameStop and bought a UMD copy of Patapon 2

I waited to buy the game until I could get a normal UMD copy of it and now I have one

Making it retoractive would cost Sony too much money. After all there are tens of PSP Go Early adpoters out there.

SCEA FAIL.

Why did you not do this at launch? Why do we get three while SCEE gets 10? Why give us two games from this year, and one old ass game?

Ratchet sticks out so bad from those three... Why couldn't they just throw in Modnation? At least then it wouldn't look as retarded since it just came out and all...

So does this mean they will begin to release new PSN legacy titles?

I mean, very few of my favorites are missing, but Dissidia and Crisis Core not being there kinda burns the soul.

Same here. The portable version of the LBP was just kind of too expensive after getting the Playstation 3 version already.

But Gran Turismo I may look into now. If they had a career mode, day 1 purchase, but after hearing that things that have more or less "made" Gran Turismo were missing, it had kind of deflated my interest all together.

They're still $8 when I checked a few minutes ago so go at it. Luckily I bought Patapon 2 recently but I might just go ahead and got Loco Roco 2.

I plan on buying a PSP later this year (Valkyria Chroicles 2 = system seller), but as much as I like the design / aesthetics of the PSP Go over the 3000....I can't buy a version of the handheld that may not allow me to play the games I'd want to have the handheld for.
Is there an updated list of PSP games that aren't available on the PSP Go?

Also, I assume anyone sufficiently knowledgeable about games to be reading NeoGAF is at least smart enough to wait until after e3 to make hardware purchases. I'm guessing about a 80-90% chance of at least one new PSP bundle being announced during the Sony press conference (possibly even a new color / bundle). Plus, there's always the possibility of a price cut.

LBP on the PSP is awesome. Bought it full price and do not regret it. The online share aspect is as well done as they could do it... and, frankly, there are some really great levels out on the PSP version.

Though I am in the market for a new PSP before KH comes out this bundle is useless to me if its for the GO only. Oh well, hoping for a psp-3000 price drop for E3.

Man, fuck. I was genuinely interested in getting a Go when I read about the free 10 games thing. I don't know whats more bitter: NA not getting the deal or the list being pretty damn sweet.
