EB Games Australia Not Stocking PSPgo?

Countryís largest games retailer looking unlikely to support Sonyís upcoming handheld.

Australia’s largest specialist games retailer could be the latest firm to decide not to stock Sony’s upcoming PSPgo.

There’s no mention of the new UMD-free handheld on the firm’s website, and numerous EB Games employees have confirmed that the product isn’t listed on the company’s system despite its October 1 release date.

However, EB’s head office wouldn’t comment on suggestions that it won’t be selling the PSPgo, reports Kotaku.

SCE Australia wouldn’t comment on EB’s stance either, but told the site: “In relation to our business and the launch of PSPgo, we are already experiencing solid support for launch day on October 1 in Australia… As with any new product, there will be continued discussions with retail partners to continue to expand reach over time in line with growth of the entire PSP platform.”

Earlier this month leading Dutch retailer Nedgame announced that it wouldn’t be selling the PSPgo, citing the device's inability to support physical media.
