PSP Go Rewards Plan Revealed

[Sephiroth]

A post on the community section of Sony Europe’s website outlines the company’s game plan regarding the sticky situation of convincing consumers to upgrade from their current UMD fed PSPs to the new, ultra portable PSP Go. So, what’s the plan? We’ll let it be stated in their own words. From the post:
The PSPgo rewards scheme will allow you to kick start your Go collection with a couple of free games for those who currently own an older PSP.
What you’ll be able to do is download 3 games from a selection of 17, these can either be games from your current UMD collection or 3 new titles. The full list is as follows:
• Killzone Liberation
• Medievil
• Wipeout Pure
• Buzz Brain Bender
• Buzz Master Quiz
• SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo
• Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
• Everybody’s Golf
• Resistance: Retribution
• Syphon Filter Dark Mirror
• Lemmings
• LocoRoco
• Patapon
• Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow
• Echochrome
• Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice
• Daxter
The process of obtaining these titles is as follows
1. Unwrap your shiny new PSPgo and start it up
2. Connect to PlayStationNetwork and activate your new or existing PlayStation Network account for PSPgo Rewards
3. Start up your current PSP and connect to PlayStation Network
4. Login using the same PlayStation Network account , and launch PlayStation®Store
5. Pop one of your UMDs into the drive of your current PSP and register on PSPgo Rewards when prompted
6. Download a PSPgo theme
7. Wait for your email voucher for your three free games
8. Choose, download and enjoy!
This is going to begin on 1 October 2009 and will run until 31 March 2010.
Sounds…complicated. Also, we love how this is referred to as a “scheme”. No word yet on whether or not this same plan, or scheme, will be unleashed on US soil, but one would think it would…And so, the question remains…”To upgrade, or not to upgrade???” We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

So what's the purpose of this thread except a copypasta / repost of something somewhere else? Elaborate please.

 

[CK]

he r being news reporter. ripping off other peoples articles.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Don't be a dick, I'm assuming he's trying to start a discussion on this since it's not anywhere else.

And he sourced where he got it from.

Anyways, it seems lame. Still not any real incentive to get their shitty handheld.

 

[CK]

You don't be a dick. Dick.

 

[Alex]

If he's attempting to start a discussion then it shouldn't pose too much of a challenge for him to actually add his own thoughts.

Personally I think his recent ejaculation of news articles all over the forum is a thinly veiled attempt to prove that he should be on staff.

 

[TragicPumpkin]

I think im beginning to relies why this forum is dead. most of everyone here are dicks.
I for one appreciate this article and this is hte first time ive herd of it. if it isnt usefull to you other dicks. then shut the hell up and boost your post count in a more constructive way.

 

[Tetsujin]

There is no post count on these forums.
At least none visible enough to use it for bragging (not that there would be anything to brag about anyway).

Also, no u.

 

[TragicPumpkin]

Either way theres no reason for every one to be such dicks.

Er no. I think the lack of activity probably has much more to do with the complete and utter lack of FFVII related news lately. Sorry.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

Our dicks have nothing to do with it, there's just not much interesting going on in relation to Final Fantasy.

 

[TragicPumpkin]

so since he dosent have much to say in relation to FF everyone has to talk shit? this IS gaming general. its not like its misplaced. i just dont understand why everyone here has to behave this way.

Because he added nothing to the discussion of the actual article and just copypasta'd it. Actually adding your opinion to something isn't that hard.

Lol wut? I was responding to the fact you think the forum is 'dead', fantastic misuse of logic there. Whether he's plagiarising articles about FF or general gaming or just the news in general, I'd still get frustrated with the way he can't actually do anything other than post articles made by other people without adding a single drop of his own personality to the post. He's no better than an adbot, except that sometimes they do a better job of convincing a forum that they aren't a bot than this guy.

 

[TragicPumpkin]

arg whatever. i guess im the only one who found the news useful.

 

[Max Payne]

I hope someone besides me reported this genius.

 

[TragicPumpkin]

I was at Sony Style last night and got to mess around with the Go a little bit. it almost seems TOO small. like it might break easily. im not sure what to think about it yet. id like to read a review from someone that got to handle it with it not bolted to a desk.

 

[Splintered]

I have yet to see why I should waste money on a new psp when the original works fine.

 

[TragicPumpkin]

My reason. (not that anyone should care) Is because my old 1000 is wearing down. the speakers are blown, theres dead pixels, the screne is scratched.

 

[Max Payne]

Sounds like you can't handle technology bro

 

[TragicPumpkin]

My instinct tell me to wait for the PSP2. but im very impatient.

Im thinking about just getting a DSI. i hear those are kinda cool

 

[Alex]

I suppose this news is just kind of useless for anybody that doesn't actually take care of their PSPs then.

 

[Bex]

i dropped alex's my PSP on the floor this morning and it works fine.

 

[TragicPumpkin]

mine took a spill from about 5 feet and landed on solid concrete. still works, i would just like to upgrade cause mainly i think umds are bs

 

[Super Mario]

Or you can just get a big ass memory stick and store your pirate games. like the rest of us pirates.
