Sony stops production of PSPgo?

The news was in the air PSPgo, version "Digital" for PSP, more compact and able to access the games through online store only, may soon go out of production. According to the blog kept by a Sony employee (or a big fan of the Japanese), confirmed the company would stop its managers in the production of the portable console, with the consequent end of the distribution in stores.

The news seems to confirm the removal of the link to the Sony PSP Go Store. The owners of the console can still buy games that way, but you can not actually order the handheld itself. Source: Adriansang
