With the much anticipated release of the PSP go, many can’t wait to get it on with the Powerful Bite Size Portable. However, the PSP go provides some restrictions for developers that may hinder the release of some of your most sought after PSP games.

It’s no secret that the Playstation Network has a starkly different business model than Microsoft’s Xbox Live. With the biggest difference being that the PSN is free to access and Play, most PSN users boldly express their love for the system. While most Xbox users quickly condemn the PSN as the poor mans Xbox Live. In all honesty the PSN is not free at all, and the fees paid are paid for by some of your favorite game Developers. This same fee driven system could very well delay some of the best game releases for everyone’s favorite new system the PSP go.

According to an SCEE licensing document Sony Charges 0.16 per gigabyte of data downloaded off the Playstation Network. This is largely the reason the PSN doesn’t receive as many Demos, or as much DLC as Xbox Live. There is usually a minimum sales threshed hold attached to these fees as well. These fees apply to Both PS3, and PSP titles as they are distributed across the PLaystation Network. To put this in perspective, on average a PSP game ranges from 400mb to 2 gigabytes, and it’s usually the higher quality games that have the larger file size. These larger games would include most RPG’s and any other highly anticipated game with a high production value; basically all you favorite games. Games like Final Fantasy Crisis Core, and Grand Theft Auto are all fairly large games in relation to other games on PSP.

Final Fantasy Crisis Core’s file size is about 922.64 MIB, and if it were a PSP go title, to download it once would cost Square Enix  just under the 0.16. However, most games don’t sell once, especially a Square Enix RPG. Final Fantasy Crisis Core sold over 2 millions copies on UMD, and if it were a PSP go  title Square Enix would have paid Sony an additional $336,000.00 on top of licensing’s and other fees.

Most developers are going to consider weather the PSP go is a viable business option, and will likely measure the savings of not printing UMD’s and the removal of shipping cost to see if it adds up to the additional PSN downloading cost. It’s also a little concerning for big PSP releases’ like Final Fantasy Dissidia and Assassin Creed Bloodlines, as neither PSP Developers nor Sony have released much in regards to their launch Line Up for the PSP go. Lets Hope for the best, and only time will tell what games will actually be release for the PSP go. Given the fact that Sony has said both the PSP go &  the PSP 3000 would remain on the market together, maybe it’s best not to wait and stay in the disc base game era for now.

In case Squares decides not to release Dissidia on the PSP Go we have a Final fantasy Dissidia bundle to give away. Just comment below and tell us what you think about the PSP go and Sony’s developer fees; the Dissidia Bundle just might be yours.
