In a week full of startling gaming news, from Microsoft's virtual controller to Nintendo's biometric add-on, Sony's launch of a digital-download only gaming system has the greatest potential to be a game changer for the industry.

The PSPgo is a slimmed down version of Sony's Playstation Portable. The device, set to hit stores on Oct. 1 for $249 in either black or white, slides apart to display its controls and features 16GB of internal memory. But most importantly, it lacks any sort of drive to load or play games on. The original PSP uses small UMD discs to load games. The PSPgo will get all of its content digitally, via downloads.

This download-only approach to a gaming device will be the first time a major gaming hardware company has jumped entirely into the realm of digital downloads and could have serious implications for many facets of the industry including the reselling of used games, game publishers' reliance on retailer shelf space and piracy.

John Koller, director of hardware marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment of America, said Sony's decision to launch the PSPgo was driven by consumers' increased interest in digital content, like music, TV shows, movies and even games.

"It became very apparent over the past 18 months that the portable gaming consumer wanted larger, richer, deeper content available digitally" Koller said. "The PSPgo is the first and only handheld device to offer these larger, richer digital gaming experiences, and from our discussions with consumers, publishers and retailers, this was absolutely the right move to make at the exactly correct time.

"The launch serves as a lesson to the industry of the strength of digital distribution. PSPgo will address this market and help drive this trend forward."

Billy Pidgeon, an analyst with Game Changer Research, says the move is huge for both Sony and the industry, making publishers less dependent on retailer shelf space and helping to cut down on the growing secondary market of used game sales, something publishers don't earn any money from.

"Using a digital download only business model brings Sony in direct competition with Apple, and the Playstation Network is already in competition with Microsoft's Xbox LIVE marketplace," Pidgeon said. "The PSPgo's download only design will help SCE transition its customers and its media delivery to online distribution. This will make Sony appear more cutting edge and will pave the way for future devices that are supplied by digital distribution."

While the PSPgo and its download approach to gaming may be the future, that doesn't mean the device doesn't have some significant hurdles to overcome.

Koller says the biggest challenge will be ensuring that there is enough content by the time the system launches to make it an attractive system for gamers.

"The old saying that content is king is even more true with the PSPgo launch, and we'll be meeting that challenge through the digital launch of virtually every title launching on UMD from now on, as well as converting over 300 catalog UMD titles to digital for the PSPgo launch," Koller said. " It is important to note though that we will not be walking away from the UMD business – in fact, we view the UMD as critical to the platform's long-term success as there are still many consumers who prefer physical goods."

Sony is also looking into a program to allow existing PSP owners to convert some of the UMD games they already own to digital versions playable on the PSPgo, though Koller declined to say how many games will be convertible.

Pidgeon thinks the biggest challenge will be convincing retailers to sell the device in their stores because traditionally retailers make much more money from the sale of software than they do the sale of the hardware that plays it.

"Retailers stand to lose big if consumers buy handhelds and consoles but not software for those devices, and the secondary resale market goes away," he said. "So it is going to be difficult to keep retailers as partners for hardware distribution if you cut them out on software."

One middle ground, Pidgeon points out, is selling voucher codes for digital games in stores.

Koller says that Sony has already been in talks with retailers and that their reaction to the PSPgo has been "overwhelmingly positive."

"With the dawn of the digital gaming age, particularly with the launch of the first full game digital platform in the PSPgo, retailers are becoming very creative in how they work to become a part of digital networks and sales," he said. "And we've become creative in how we have crafted a new business model to meet how and what retailers sell."

And Pidgeon thinks this is just the first step for Sony and its new PSPgo. He believes that the PSPgo will do quite well at retail, triggering a price drop to $200 as the company ramps up production. And while Sony says they will continue to sell the original PSP, Pidgeon thinks the PSPgo will slowly replace it and that there is even a successor to the PSPgo on the horizon, one that will include a touch screen and an integrated phone.

"The PSPgo will be a good way to bridge to a next generation download only device," he said.

And could this lead to download only consoles?

Pidgeon thinks that home bandwidth limitations mean the next generation of consoles will still be disc-based, but that online deliver will become much more important down the line.

When asked if there was a download-only PS3 in our future, Koller remained tight lipped.

"Our consumer research shows that many people still continue to prefer purchasing games on tangible disc-based media, and we'll continue to serve this segment of the market, while also providing digital content to the growing segment demanding this format," he said. "We have nothing further to announce/discuss at this time."

PSPgo - Your Questions Answered

 

Hi everyone. My name’s Adam and I am the European Product Manager for PSPgo. Thanks to all who answered the call earlier this week and submitted questions, we have literally had hundreds! It is great to see that there is so much interest in PSPgo. I will try to answer as many as I can but any questions not answered in this post will be answered in forthcoming updates. I will provide you with as much detail as I can.

 

xeeki: Are there any technological improvements over the PSP-3000? Like, the screen, or hardware-wise…

 

Xeeki has asked about detail on the technological improvements of PSPgo over other models. The 2 biggest differences are the removal of the UMD drive and the new design. PSPgo replaces the UMD drive with 16GB of flash memory and the stylish slide open design has made the PSPgo smaller and lighter than ever making it truly pocket-size.

 

We have also added 3 new features:

 

* Game sleep function: You will be able to operate the XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) while suspending the gameplay temporarily.

* Bluetooth function: This is going to let you use your favourite wireless head phones to listen to music, play games and watch videos….

* Clock and calendar application: We have included a clock and calendar application which can be viewed both when the sliding panel is open and closed.

 

Nemhome: Will the PSPgo be delivered with a USB cable?

 

I am happy to say that the answer is yes. PSPgo will come bundled with everything you need for you to start enjoying all it has to offer. Included in the box along with the PSPgo will be a USB cable, AC adaptor and Media Go software.

 

PSPgo comes bundled with Media Go, which is an easy to use PC application that makes it simple for you to browse PlayStation Store, as well as organise and store all your favourite downloaded games, demos, music, movies and photos.

 

We know that being able to effectively store, organise and access your content is key so we have created a video to help explain how you can make the most of PSPgo. Check it out.

 

disc: What is the battery life like?

 

We have adopted an embedded battery to realise a smaller and lighter PSP system. The battery life is equivalent with the current models meaning approximately 3 to 6 hours for gameplays and approximately 3 to 5 hours for playing back videos. Hope that answers your question disc.

 

KSPRAYDAD has been asking about peripherals so here is an update:

The peripherals on offer at launch for PSPgo are USB cable, AC adaptor, Video-out cables (AV cable and component AV cable) and a Cradle. We are currently considering introducing other peripherals for PSPgo but can not provide details at this point.

 

Another big question was if the current peripherals can be used with PSPgo. We have reduced the size of the USB connector and introduced multi-function features which has allowed us to obtain a smaller and lighter PSP. As such the peripherals for the current PSP models do not currently work on PSPgo however we are considering introducing a special attachment that can connect current peripherals to PSPgo.

 

Can I download games on to a memory stick?

 

PSPgo is disc free with a 16GB of built-in memory for storing all your essential games, videos, photos and music. However if you do fill this up there are a couple of options to store and manage your games, music, videos and photos. You will be able to back up to a PC via Media Go or to the M2 Memory Stick to store more content for PSPgo.

 

Torence: Why have you changed the format of the removable memory?

 

Torence has asked the above question and it is a good one. PSPgo uses M2 memory sticks which are smaller and take up less room on the device. This meant that we saved space and could make the PSPgo pocket-sized. However, you will be able to transfer the data from your Memory Stick Duo to your PC via Media Go and then transfer it to the PSPgo or M2.

 

theTMO / pavianexodus: Will it be possible to transfer my UMD games to the new PSPgo?

 

We know that there are many of you excited about PSPgo but are hesitant at leaving your UMD games collection behind. We recognize this and as such we are planning a goodwill programme and will unveil more details soon.

 

We also know that there are many already released UMD games that you may not own but want to play in the future on your PSPgo. To make this happen we are considering every possibility to bring downloadable versions for the majority of past titles available only in UMD to the PlayStation Store along with all new releases. We will announce further details on this.

 

How much will PSPgo cost?

 

Many of you have asked about the price of PSPgo throughout Europe and the PAL territories and we announced at E3 that PSPgo will retail in Europe at 249 Euros. Many of you have asked more specifically what price this will mean in your local currency. Unfortunately at this stage we are unable to define prices in countries where the Euro is not present at this time but I can assure you that as soon as these prices have been agreed upon I will let you know.

 

Will the price differ between the UMD version and the downloadable version?

 

I know this is something that is a concern for you. Unfortunately, I don’t have the answer for you on this at the moment. I can however assure you that I will share this information with you as soon as I get it.

 

I hope I have managed to answer some of the most burning questions! Feedback is always welcome and we do appreciate all the comments and questions. I will be posting regularly to update you on the latest information on PSPgo.
