Last week I caved in and bought a PSP Go. I didn't make it as long as I expected to; as a matter of fact, I actually ended up getting one on the launch day. I think it was mostly Sony's fairly incredible bombardment of the PlayStation Network with downloadable titles, most of which I've never played.
What's Good:
Disgaea 1 & 2 - I absolutely did not expect these two games to make it onto the service. $15 is an amazing price for the first Disgaea (my used copy of the game just a couple of years ago on the PS2 was over $40).
Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero? - This great action sidescroller is a steal at $9.99, especially considering that it's still $39.99 at retail.
Brave Story - Critically aclaimed, classic-style JRPG that did not get a lot of attention when it was originally released on UMD.
God of War: Chains of Olympus - This one was expected, but not at the $15.99 price-- 20% cheaper than it currently is at retail. It's a fair price, and I much prefer not having to lug around the UMD.
What's Bad -
Loco Roco 1 & 2 - Great that these two are up on the service, but the pricing is a little strange. $15.99 is great for Loco Roco 2, but what's the deal with $22.99 for the original game, which is now over three years old?
Motorstorm/Gran Turismo/Soul Calibur - The $39.99 price is absolutely ridiculous for these titles. Sony should discount digital versions of new releases like they do for older titles.
Rock Band Unplugged: Lite: The idea of a completely "a la carte" Rock Band game is pretty smart; honestly, I'd rather have a cheaper version of the game that I can use to pick-and-choose which songs I want to play. The problem: there is no full version of Rock Band Unplugged up for download, but all of the songs are available through Rock Band Unplugged: Lite. If you want the full version of Rock Band on your PSP, expect to pay $80 for what you can get for $30 if you had the cheaper PSP 3000.
What's missing:
Lumines 1 & 2
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles
Mega Man Powered Up
Maverick Hunter X
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
FFVII: Crisis Core
Final Fantasy: Dissidia
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories
