Sony PSP Go

Listen to article

Caught on video, Sony’s upcoming PSP Go is half the weight but twice as fun. The clip is from the June 2009 episode of Qore.

Yet to be officially announced by Sony, the PSP Go is smaller and lighter than previous iterations of the PlayStation Portable. Has 3.8″ display screen and 16GB of internal flash drive memory.

I’m not gonna buy it, unless it has been hacked and I can download games for free/for a lesser price. It’s simply impractical. I’d stick with my PSP 2000 until Sony makes an attempt to listen to their customers.

psp go ang the best parin compared sa lahat ng psp model may built in pa na 16 gig na memory, my bluetooth pa.un lang nga limited pa ang available na games at accessories.ang maganda di mo na kaylangang magbaon ng maraming umd gaya nga psp 3000 or the older models. the best thing is its lighter and smaller yet way smarter.just got one last month. magmumukha lang na panghilod ang psp3000 pag itatapat mo sa psp go…i know it coz i have psp 3000 and psp go.

As far as I’ve heard (from IGN and Gamespy), they’re not really changing the processing unit of the PSP when PSPgo comes out. It’s like just having a facelift for good-old PSP 2000. I still own a PSP 1000 and it still kicks ass (well except for the downward drift of the analog stick probably from abuse.. ha!). Just a get a PSP 2000 or 3000, they’ll do fine.

Internal 16g mem? Anyone can get 16gig MS from Greenhills nowadays.

Slide-type? Marupok yan (it’ll easily break off).

I’m finding a problem on reaching the L1 and R1 buttons on top..with the slider on the way.
And no usb port? it could take a long time to install games with just the bluetooth.

geez!

It’s the same form factor as the Sony MyLO.

Problem with this form factor is the slide. Although the original PSP form has a movable UMD door but who uses UMDs now? hehehe

Nintendo DS are targeted for casual gamers and kids while PSP are more for the mature and hard core gamers that’s why there’s more NDS titles than PSP titles.

@babyface
no graphics improvement? lol. The smaller screen will be sharper than that of the brite. Also most, current PSP owners won’t even bother for the PSP Go if it’s not cfw-able, which you can bet isn’t.

babyface · 17 years ago

biggest mistake of sony is they are upgrading their PSP from time to time with only small improvements..

seriously, if Go is just lighter,3.8 has 16gb of internal memory with no usb port and IF there’s no graphics improvement, current psp owners wont buy it and they will fail again…

@man
Developers were ignoring the PSP because of the poor sales of GAMES because of rampant piracy. The PSP 3000 helped rebuild Sony’s rep with the devs. Failure? Hardly. Look at the Apple app store and you’ll know why the PSP Go will be a hit.

@chiemartin
I’d love a 2nd analog nub too but it’s going to be useless with the current game library because they aren’t coded to support a 2nd nub. :(

Also, game devs are already back on the PSP train. Just take a look at the E3 line up :D

i read that psp go is not going to replace the psp 3000 as sony sticks to the 10-year lifespan of its products. having 0-consumer demand is another thing though.

Oh it’s a slider. This will certainly bring problems especially with the flexi cable involved ;)

1 drawback with the PSP Go would be the slider, which is pretty much prone to problems with the flex cable.

I’ve had both the 1000 and 2000 series, and I must say, the form factor of the PSP Go isn’t slick like the 1000-3000 series. Like most comments I’ve been reading in other blogs, it would have been better if they slapped on 2 analog sticks rather than 1.

One good thing though which was a good move for us portable-junkies is the removal of the UMD slot. Downloadable media is way better IMO.

In terms of games, I’m not pretty sure what’s so new about the PSP Go. I do hope there’s something considerably different for gamers to pick up the PSP Go. And I do hope game developers make more games for the PSP, as I sold off my PSP months ago after a pretty long dry spell of new games in the market.

Its a slider, much like cellphones this one would probably have a shorter lifespan than any of its predecessors, IMHO it looks weird and cheap XD

Sony keeps on changing the hardware of their gaming consoles. From “original psp” to “slim and light” to “psp 3000” and now this “psp go” and yet they are unsuccessful. Nintendo still dominates the portable console war with a huge huge chunk!! It is because the nintendo focuses on games rather than the hardware(although they have upgraded their DS consoles). Compare the games of PSP to DS. DS has multiple of titles to choose from erstwhile PSP has handful.what does this means? Consumers want more games!!!WAKE UP SONY before Nintendo eats up all your share….
