I like to check both on a relatively frequent basis just to see if I can nab something cool for a great price. Well, the PSN library already has gems like flOw, Flower, Wipeout HD, echochrome, and others, and while I know you can find original Xbox classics on Live, the lineup really can\u2019t compare to the PS1 classic selection on the PSN.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The article also compares some third party download content, and of course first party offerings. I think it really comes down to the games you like; personal choice \u2026 all that jazz.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>PSPgo digitial game prices?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nThis Australian based <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lazygamer.co.za\/psp\/psp-gos-digital-games-same-price-as-umd\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.lazygamer.co.za\/psp\/psp-gos-digital-games-same-price-as-umd', 'site');\" target=\"new\">site<\/a> is concerned about the price of PSPgo games.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>While trying to defend the UMD and insisting on it\u2019s continued use he [Michael Ephraim] states that the digital PSP Go\u2019s games will be based on the same price structure as the PSP 3000.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have written about PSP content prices several lately; they are really too high.
