That's the plan.
You can wait.

Auron_Kale said:You can download Media Go from Sony's website - and that has a built-in PSN store. It should store on your computer's HDD until you need it if you choose to go that route.
Thanks, I appreciate the information.Spiegel said:That's the plan.

Massa said:The NGP will most certainly be able to play Tactics Ogre. You'll probably even get a decent enough deal trading in your PSP when buying an NGP, I hear Gamestop is giving $75 for a DS Lite on a 3DS purchase.
Brettison said:Bigger issue for me is the fact that I'd want a descent memory card with it so you're talking over $150 again. Heck I'd like a Go at $99 but I'd even pay the $130 they are charging for the 3000 for a GO because it would be fine from the get go.
Once I'm over $150 though this late in the game I just can't do it, and that's pretax for the 3000 + mem stick (or adapter/sd card), and I don't even have a game yet. If it was a bundle with a game I like I'd be more tempted even if the memory card was only say 2 gigs.
$160 pretax gets me to around $200 with a game. At that point I'd probably just wait for the NGP or grab a 3DS.
Massa said:Well, according to some posts you might find the bundles at $130 as well, and those include a memory stick and game.
Also, while Tactics Ogre is a very well recommended game there's a pretty big catalog of much cheaper games available for the PSP. That's the main advantage of buying a PSP (or DS) these days. For instance, this week GTA Chinatown Wars is on sale for $10 on PSN. That's a fantastic game, best handheld GTA and better than the GTA IV expansions IMO. There's a bunch of other great games for $10-$20 on PSN as well (heck, $5 for Tetris and Pac-man).
For an NGP you're looking at $300 (best case scenario, most likely). That's $330 with tax and another $50 for a game.
Of course, if you're looking at a 3DS next March it's probably not a good idea to buy two consoles a month apart.
Spiegel said:It's better to wait.
The game won't get more expensive by the time the NGP is out. It probably will be 19.99$ or less.
tass0 said:$129 is really cheap for the value you get.
I bought the PSP in 2005 for like 230 euros, and it's been my best gaming purchase by far.
The ability to play PS1, SNES, NES, Genesis, GBA, GB, and more on a handheld is fucking awesome.
Not to mention the nifty homebrew, like that universal remote control for TVs.
Oh, that is pretty! If it's available when the price drops, I'm getting it.Takao said:
Hannah Montana PSP is actually kind of pretty.
Brettison said:It's not $130 though. It's $130 + having to buy a memory stick for that bitch.
jeremy1456 said:Given the library, it's finally at a semi worthwhile price.
When it goes down to $99.99 it will be worth it completely.
Quixzlizx said:Semi-worthwhile? The top of the library matches the DS in quality, especially if you take into account the past year. If you already have a huge backlog, it may not be worth it to pick one up before the NGP, but the library itself is full of quality.
jeremy1456 said:I've had one since PSP 1000. I disagree with you - I haven't turned it on in a couple of years, and the only reason I would want to do so is to catch up on Persona.
The top of the library doesn't match the top of the DS'.
hosannainexcelsis said:DJ Max Portable, Hatsune Miku Project Diva, Half-Minute Hero, Tactics Ogre, Z.H.P. - those titles alone mean I have to disagree there. This is extremely subjective, of course.
jeremy1456 said:Even being subjective, the best game you mentioned is an enhanced port of a PS1 game.
So then uh.. why not game on it? That's what I use mine for.RPGCrazied said:I'll buy one at 80-90bucks, no more.
I really don't care for most of the features of the PSP, I just want to game on it. I don't need another all in 1 media device.

Yaweee said:There's not the remotest chance in hell that TO is an "enhanced port" rather than a full remake. They gutted pretty much every single gameplay mechanic and asset, except some of the unit and icon sprites.

Probably not shipping as many as the 3000 but I'm sure it's not dead yet.Zoe said:I thought so too, but is it really in production anymore? Amazon only has the white model :\
I would be very surprised if it is in production still... You can still buy launch units with the three games free stickers added on the boxes around here...Zoe said:I thought so too, but is it really in production anymore? Amazon only has the white model :\
Wow, seriously?a Master Ninja said:FUN FACT
PSPgo systems were only manufactured ONE TIME. Every PSPgo is a launch unit.
Yep. You might find a PSPgo with different boxart, but it will be a sticker or sleeve around the launch packaging.chubigans said:Wow, seriously?

Phatcorns said:Is the PSP Go still used at Gamestop for $100?
Forbiden said:Might be, but I doubt you'll be able to find one. I tried 4 different gamestops today and couldn't find any used ones, or any new white ones. I only found one black PSP go in the 4 gamestops I went to
Mission Accomplished.Flambe said:Honestly it just makes me want a NGP more =[
Parents buying a system 5 years into its life-cycle at half its inital price probably wouldn't be in the market for the new $250+ systems anytime soon.Hug-Dealer said:That's just pathetic. I feel bad for all the children whose parents are about to buy them a PSP, completely unaware of the new systems about to be released. Actually, I feel bad for the parents themselves.
