Retailer says 'No' to PSP Go!

Good for them

Think of it from the shops point of view: what is the point in a shop selling a console where the customer can not buy a single game in store?

Consoles have historically been sold at very little profit and all the stores income comes from games and add-ons. Sony even makes a loss on the PS3 and is relying on game sales for profit.

Downloading games from online stores is probably the future for customers, but it is the death of all game stores.

PS3 backwards compatibility gone for good

Utter RUBBISH

Check earlier REGhardware posts to do with console sales: PS2 is still selling well, some quarters better then the PS3.

So 'no one' is interested in PS2 games? From other responses on this board, it's obvious that Sony has performed a lobotomy on itself and is content on IGNORING IT'S CUSTOMERS.

Lack of backward compatibility is the ONLY reason why I didn't buy a PS3 on the day of release. Very much a personal point but the ONLY reason I bought a PS3 over and XBox was for Final Fantasy 13, and now that's no longer an exclusive, do I regret buying a PS3?

No: the PS3 is an amazing machine. But backwards compatibility would make it perfect for me. Till that day comes I will have both machines hooked up the TV, if only for FFXII, Wipeout Fusion and God of War.

Hell, bring out a PS3 slim V2 with the extra chips in. Made it a modular add-on or something like that.

O2 data fails, again

It's not just data....

I'm in Hungary and I have no service at all.

Thanks O2.

I was thinking about getting an iPhone too. I didn't think service provider would have been the deciding factor, but it is.

O2 does Apple-flavour customer service

No 3G for me in Budapest

Maybe this is O2's way of reducing roaming charges. Atleast the EU board will be happy
