Sony Computer Entertainment Europe reveal the PSPgo was an experiment meant to gauge consumer behaviour.

“The only problem is that it’ll make the PSP a little bulky,” mentioned CVG’s source.

Enterbrain are reporting that the PSP go has sold 28,275 units in its first day on the market.

On Sunday, Sony will release the PSP Go in Japan and systems there don’t come with an ESRB app or a Patapon 2 demo. SCEJ loaded different software like a Room demo.

The PSPgo has been on shelves for about a week and there’s already a clone.

Sony released a slew of UMD games as digital downloads on the PlayStation Store for new PSPgo purchasers. How do those prices stack up against retail versions? We found out.

The catch is that you need to register your PSPgo on PSN, then log in to the network with your old PSP while there’s a UMD in its drive.

Gran Turismo rolls out on October 1st on disc and as a PlayStation Store download. SCEA announced both versions will cost $39.99. This is a shift from Sony’s strategy in Japan, which is selling downloadable versions at a discount.

Coinciding with the launch of the PSP Go in Europe and North America are a new kind of PSP game called “minis”. Fifteen under 100MB titles will be available at launch.

The PSP Go launch is just around the corner, but instead of heavily promoting that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is pushing the PSP-3000 with two new colors and eight bundles slated for this year.

Sony and other third party publishers have been releasing a steady stream of digital re-releases in North America. As of a few weeks ago Japan is catching up.

A scan of Famitsu revealed God Eater, a Namco Bandai developed cooperative action game for the PSP where four players link up for good old god slaying fun.

PSP Go is going to retail for $250 in the U.S. — a price quite a few of our readers have questioned, considering the new device doesn’t include a UMD slot. Americans don’t have it nearly as bad as Europeans though.

I thought the PSP Go might have better battery life than the current PSP since the PSP Go doesn’t power a laser. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
