Get GT PSP free with PGPgo in October News

PSP News by Tom Bramwell

18 August, 2009

New Sony Europe emperor Andrew House wants to celebrate the launch of PSPgo by giving you a free copy of Gran Turismo PSP.

Yes, the actual full game. That's what he's said during the Sony gamescom conference. Providing you live in a PAL region and register your PSPgo between 1st and 10th October, you'll get a free downloadable version.

House also revealed that PSP will soon be supported by "Minis", games 100MB or less in size that will hopefully be made by people previously put off by the system.

We were also told that PSP has sold 52.9 million units worldwide, including 17 million in SCEE regions.

For those WHO already committed to getting PSPGo despite the costs and needs to replaces lead, memory card and so on, this SWEETENS the deal sure!

The question seem to be that Sony recognised that the price will be a barrier to earlier adopters and thrown in PSP GT which is either a clever move or a desperate move?

WOULD this convince you to get PSPGo?

I m to be honest two mind about it and financially cautious as still got TWO working PSP (slim and 3000).

I don't know why people are disagreeing with my idea,don't you like cheap stuff?

On more serious note,this Sony move is obviously trying to take advantage of GT hardcore fans,to push PSPGo.
It simply has no chance as a standalone product,at current price.

You have to wonder whether the various divisions at Sony actually speak to each other at all - will there be a board meeting tomorrow morning when the executives realise they've accidentally put the PS3 and PSPgo in direct price parity with each other?

Or do they seriously expect us to buy both?

PGPgo? Typo!

Anyway - they should also throw in a couple of PSOne classics, and a few of these PSPmini games to encourage people to get browsing that PSN store.

I was planning to get a new PSP, so this'll be a bonus. Never really played much Gran Turismo before though.

I wouldnt buy one for the silly price theyre asking and I wont be convinced by this 'freebie'.

How can they even consider that anyone but the extremely foolish would consider a purchase without knowing the price of the downloads and the arrangement for the UMD to digital.

I was talking to a Gamestation employee who claimed a Sony representative went to the store to show the PSPGO off and told her that you would need to post in your UMDs to receive a code for the downloads !!!!! (!)
