I can’t believe how low the prices are for Sony’s portable console, which is now available for just $50 on Amazon. Yes, I’m looking at you, the $50 console.
The price on the new Sonys console is a little shocking. But it isn’t that shocking when you consider that the unit is made by Sony, and the name is really a jab at Nintendo, who in their heyday made a lot of great portable gaming machines. But I suppose Sony’s portable consoles are really the opposite of Nintendo’s. They’re portable gaming machines, but they’re really handheld gaming machines that you can carry around with you.
The big question for me is how much does a Sony portable console cost? And to be honest, I wouldnt be surprised if they were out of stock in a month. My guess is that it will be in the $600 – $800 range. So you might not want to wait to buy one.
I guess the question is will it be worth it? If you own a Sonys portable, you know that you could get a lot of games on it at a fraction of the cost of a console. Sony’s handheld consoles are usually between 8 and 16 GB, but as the name suggests, theyre usually smaller than a console. So youre probably better off investing in a larger (4 GB or more) console.
The biggest problem I have with consoles is that they tend to be more expensive than most portable games. So if you own a Sonys, and are thinking of getting a portable game like Halo, you might want to wait. But if you do invest in a Sonys, you can take advantage of the fact that some games are also available on a portable console.
For example, the Halo game is also available on a 32 GB Sony PSP. I can see how this would make sense. In fact, if you own a 32GB Sony PSP, you could play the Halo game on that, as well, and it would cost you less than the equivalent console.
But that’s not all. The game is also available on the PS3 and PS2. But there’s a catch. The game is not available on the PlayStation 3. The reason it’s not available is because it is a digital game. It’s not physically on your console. You can buy it on a website, but the game is not physically on your console and you don’t have a physical copy of the game.
You are correct in that you are required to have a physical copy of the game to play Deathloop. That’s because Sony has only released digital copies of the game. Sony’s CEO, Jim Ryan, confirmed to Gamespot that the game will be available on the PS3 and PS2 by the end of the year, but not on the new console, the PSP. However, Ryan did say that the game will be available to a select few on the PS3 when it is released.
Because Sony may not be releasing the game digitally, the company may be able to negotiate a price reduction to PS3 and PS2 owners because the game will be available through some of the company’s digital storefronts. It is not clear if Sony is planning on selling the game digitally, but if they do, then there will be a price cut.
