Wow, as if we needed more incentive to not invest in the PSPgo, a new trend has arisen during the first day of Mini availability. The same games cost more on the PSP/PSPgo than they do on the iPhone/iPod touch ... Examples: ... Unfortunately, the system is setup to charge the consumer at maximum from the get-go.
