Like $80 something at that one site. There are probably other retailers selling this under different names.

Ahh sorry about the links. Those are going through spam filters :(. I'm going to try to readjust the site so everyone can put one link in a post without it getting tossed in the moderation graveyard.

So that's the trick.. I was wondering why some of my posts got “moderated” and never showed up because of a link, and it was some cool stuff I wanted to share from youtube :(…

How much does this fake go for?

No matter how much I like new gadgets, I still can't bring myself to buy this (got pretty close though if I hadn't missed Dell's 15% off deal, bringing the Go to $212 plus tax), when I consider the inability to play the dozens of UMD games I own and my unwillingness to buy full games digitally. And for a mp3 player or paper weight, the price is still steep... Will wait till they let us play our UMD library or a special edition PSPGo, I'm a sucker for that, and right now the two colors are both bad anyway, fingerprint black or sparkly white.

I heard the Go even uses a new type of memory stick right? Does that mean you can't even transfer the save files from the PSP to Go? The cons of this machine are just too many...

Couldn't disagree more. When it comes to patents, I really think it is ridiculous when companies sue each other over aesthetic similarities. However, an unlicensed player for a proprietary copy-protected format would be stepping over the line IMHO. Although I do take issue with the “emulator for 16 bit games”, which I doubt has any legitimate use.

Just remove the “h” from “http”. That seems to do the trick.

It'll never happen, but I hope the clone-makers get sued to oblivion. That is, unless their clone plays UMDs.

Haha! My sister is like that to her kids! Instead of giving them all the cool stuff she gives them “Justice Friends” figures, Pokemon toys that aren't really Pokemon, t-shirts with a purple Bugs Bunny, and of course the Polystation.

It's going to be pretty interesting seeing them as adults.

Bah! I can't post links here (the system must think it's spam), but search for “pika pirate” on this site.

I remember playing it on my nephew's Polystation that he got for Christmas.
It actually has some pretty decent games if you ever try it.

Hey, I'll take a Polystation 3 over grandma's wool boxers any day…

to be fair, there were tons of sliding portable media players on eBay before Sony announced the PSPGo. Sony's aesthetic design for this thing wasn't exactly ground breaking. Maybe this is just a coincidence...Obviously it isn't, but still.

I feel bad for all the kids who nag their parents for video games, only to instead get a knock off system.

*Ponders.*

I take it back. It must be funny when they get their hopes up, only to realize they've been duped by frugal relatives. Hehe...
