Dammit people!
The whole point of the PSPgo N1000 WAS NOT to be an upgrade for existing PSP users. There WILL BE a PSP 4000 (back with UMD and all) for those who prefer it.
Some of us actuyally prefer the smaller, lighter, more convenient and digital only PSPgo.
Sure, Sony screwed people going from the psp 4000 to n1000 with the whole UMD jumble, but hey, we'll live.
I'm also all for hacking a PSP too. The PSP needs to be an open platform. There are so many actually useful programs for the PSP that can only be used on custom firmware.
But as long as I can get most of the games I want for $20 (GoW, Daxter, R&C), I'm more than willing to pay.
I however WILL NOT pay $40 for a PSP game. It's also dissapointing I can't get a refund on games I dislike (armored core 3, which was such an awesome console series, but downright dissapointing on the PSP, and syphon filter dark mirror, which I find boring).
Part of the point of the PSPgo was to rid of UMD's, but alas, I guess we can't kill them off if we even try.
Make the PSP a more open platform, offer most games (even most new ones) at $20, put a second analog stick (were the current start/select are, and move the start/select up) and increase it to 32GB, and I'll upgrade to a PSPgo N2000 if I have the money at the time. Give me a higher resolutin screen (1024x768, what most web pages are optimized for), a 600MHz cpu (a 1GHz phone is coming, so 600MHz doesn't sound like it's asking too much), multi touch, 256MB of RAM (I'd be happy with a upgrade from 64 to 128 though), wireless N, and better battery life would make it worth well over $500 (I may even go as far to say I would pay $800 for such a thing, a powerful ultra mobile computer that's still dedicated to gaming, unlike powerful smartphones).
I can wish...
