Has anyone seen this new PSP Go? For more money you can get all these awesome features:
- $250 out of your pocket (that's only $50 less than a Blu Ray playing PS3) - smaller screen - no ability to play your current game titles as it has no game input - all games must be downloaded (which means bye bye to GameFly, used game stores, etc for your PSP) - disconnects on the wireless that cause you to have to start your downloads from scratch again - data is not saved - system cannot do anything while a download is in process - game downloads can take about an hour or so average - 16 GB internal storage, but only 14 GB is usable to start because of system software (which will be added to with each upgrade to the software) - buying memory cards to store games on to save internal memory space - no ability to play the mini PSP compatible DVDs
Now, I'm not an overly big fan of handhelds at all. The only one I ever played the hell out of was my Sega Game Gear ages ago. The Gameboy Advance I had wasn't even backlit and I had to have a 20 pound light attached to it with a glare and then they introduce the backlit SP. I bought a DS Lite, special Zelda Edition one just because I wanted to play some Zelda games, but other than them, the libraries are lamesauce to me.
Anyhow, point of the story, is seriously Sony???

I'm primarily a PSP player these days.
Read poor but had enough money at one time to get one. I wouldn't be opposed to a PS3 or 360 one day though.

Great review Patrick. I was looking at one last night and wondered if they could play downloaded movies for when I travel and I have those god awful long flights.
I am going to guess NO and not worth the money. I have a PS3 for BlueRay and some games like RockBand....you should see me drum...lol

Heehee... Rockband and the like are games I have never even tried. Music class was always a loss for me, so it hasn't peeked a slight interest at all for me.

I think the PSP-GO is an ugly lookin' thing as I do not need an extra step to flip it up to play.
I have the old PSP-fat and it does me fine. I don't use discs and have an older firmware running in it. I convert all my movies and tv-programs into the compatible mp4 format to view on the go. I also have MAME, Genesis, Segamaster System emulators running in it too. It's sorta like the one-stop-shop for me
I would like to upgrade to the slim version for the light-weight and the AV out so hoping in future to hook it up to a set of video-glasses.

AW, so you can watch movies on it, as long as they are mp4's
That's interesting! I might have a look at the PSP then...

PS Patrick, you should try Rockband, it is very addictive.

Dani, have you seen the advert for the Beatles Rockband?! xD That sends shivers down my spine Posted by Danielle Moore (Member # 34633) on :
YES! I want to get that, I keep looking at it and wondering, should I?

Well...duh?
Bear in mind that if you're a drummer...Ringo was a shit drummer
So might not be as challenging as other games...

Sony=Shit
Get an Xbox, though it is not a handheld it is probably the same price as the PSP GO, I don't know how much the Xbox 360 is over there as I am from England Posted by bluetoelover (Member # 14736) on :
