PSP Go is Dead

[Demon_Skeith]

Sony Japan confirmed it has ceased production of the PSP Go and that all future sales will be limited to current stock.

A Japanese report from Phileweb (translated by Andriasang) says the company has formally announced it is ending production of the digital-only handheld, confirming a rumor that surfaced yesterday from an alleged Sony Store employee. This will allow Sony to shift its focus to the NGP, which is expected to ship in at least one territory by the end of this year.

The PSP Go first launched in 2009 for $250. IGN has contacted SCEA for a statement and will update this story if we hear back.

And this is what they get for increasing the price on it last month.

If it was $150 on release then it would be good... Hacking it with emulators makes it amazing however, but without hack, it pretty much sucks without UMD. :/

If you get lucky you might pick it up at a pawn shop hacked haha.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

That would be awesome. lol

I got my 1000 from a friend for $60, loved it for music but dropped it and messed up the sound.
I'm planing on getting a go from a pawn shop if things go right.

chances of it being hacked are slim though.

It's still going to be released in the US according to GameInformer.

It's been hacked DS, you just shouldn't update it, that's all. And you can't use PSN, but I wouldn't give a shit considering I can get PS1 games for free.

so your telling me that if you go into a pawn shop, all PSP gos they are selling are all hacked then?

 

[GracefulAssassin]

I'm not saying they are hacked. -_-' I'm saying they are HACKABLE. More work, but it's worth it really.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

I know they are hackable, anything is really. but I'm saying the chance of finding a hacked PSP go in a pawn shop is slim.
