    If you have a Sam's Club near you, you might want to check the price on-line for your local store. Some stores have the black PSP Go for as low as $58 right now. Others haven't dropped the price at all.

    I just checked. Two near me one of them is more than the online price, the other one has the black PSP Go for $91. Think I should wait?
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    Probably, I suspect most retailers will drop to the $100 level or less during their clearance of the stock. I know Target and Best Buy still have tons of them, so I am personally going to wait. If the Sam's Club near me had it for $58 though, I would grab it. Unfortunately, the closest one with that price is 150 miles away which is too far.

    On the contrary, this gives me the opportunity to pick up a back up on the cheap. The format is going to fade out after the NGP anyway.

    I might get a back up AND a homebrew beater if the price goes low enough. ;-)

    Now it's official. Can't say I'm surprised. Sony always said this was an experiment, one that obviously didn't pan out too well. I too might pick one up if it ever gets down around a $50 clearance price(which is the exact price Target is currently clearancing their PS2's for). I'd actually be more interested in picking up a normal Psp on the cheap then the Go.

    I also prefer normal PSP over PSP Go, I just can't dig Download games.... I prefer to have games what I can touch and own, not some untouchable games and what if Sony does something, like banning people who don't live in US but fake it as they do, and they lose their DLC? This is my fear as Estonia is not listed there and we can not buy stuff from Est but have to use other countries.

    I never hoped PSP Go going well as it did not had an UMD and I think this is a big minus.

    I'm not worried about owning the games. If I get a PSPgo, it'll be strictly for homebrew and UMD images.

    The PSP Go was a nice piece of hardware, but not at the price Sony was selling it for.

    I picked up an 8gig memory card for my PSP 3000 for under $35. I already had a 4 gig card, so I have more than enough space for DLC, should I choose to.

    I also have a co-worker that is trying to sell his PSP 3000 to me for $45. If I plan on doing any homebrew, I'd much rather brick that, than an expensive PSP Go.

    This is a thread about it being "discontinued." Once it reduces in price it won't be expensive. You also don't have to worry about bricking the system if you don't flash it. Use HBL and it's temporary, meaning you can have all the benefits of homebrew without the possibility of bricking your system. Even if you upgrade to custom firmware, if you do everything properly then you have no need to worry about bricking your PSP.

    Checked Sams today and unfortunately the console is still at normal, retail price.

    If anyone is able to pick me up one at the super cheap price stated (or lower ), let me know.

    From what I was reading online over the last few days, the go is supposedly being discontinued overseas, and will be in North America soon as well.

    The single biggest thing that killed the PSPgo was the fact that gamers couldn't transfer their existing UMD library to it. Sony was fucking stupid thinking that gamers were gonna go out and re-buy their existing UMD library in digital form. The $250 price tag didn't help much either, but that would have come down over time.

    Since I've already been buying Umd Psp games over the last two years or so, the Go wouldn't really do much for me. But I'll still grab it if I find it on the cheap(under $50). That way I can use it for trade.

    Same here. Has it been fully hacked yet though? I haven't followed the PSP scene for a while but last I heard, there wasn't any custom firmware ready for the Go.

    Someone on CAG said their local Sam's Club was clearing the Go's out for $60. Mine had it for $130 though.

    No CFW that I'm aware of, but you can run the homebrew enabler.

    PSPGo's 100% breached, you can do whatever you want with it now. PS1/Emu/etc.
