Australia's EB Games to boycott the PSPgo?
It's starting to more like the 'PSPwent'
Retailers around the world are falling out of love with Sony over the handheld hardware revamp the PSPgo, with more and more announcing that they won't be stocking the device come October 1st.
The latest company rumoured to be boycotting the PSPgo is Australian's largest specialist games retailer, EB Games, according to Edge.
Employees of the company have confirmed that the PSPgo isn't listed on the stock system, though the head office has yet to comment on the issue. Certainly it's cutting things fine (possibly too fine to meet the launch) if it does intend to support Sony's expensive new model.
The problems stockists have with the PSPgo seem to revolve around the price, which is monumentally unappealing to consumers, and that Sony is essentially asking them to sell a device that will mean customers won't be returning to their shops to buy games.
We're still collecting votes for out PSPgo poll, so stop by and let us know whether you'll be opening your wallet to Sony in October, or cancelling your pre-order.
Just FYI, the review model of the PSPgo has landed at the Pocket Gamer office, so stay close to find out if it adds up to £225 worth of plastic and LCD.
