I'm not getting the PSP Go, it's a major fail before it's even hit the stores. Hell, I'd rather have a 3000 series PSP over that even though the mobo isn't hackable yet and that screen interlace "feature".

As Darth Vader once said....."NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
I have a psp3k with the Chikhen exploit an had a old psp1k back in the day (may it rest in peices -sadfayce- ) but ok sony needs to explain why the go costs roughly 100bucks more then a psp3k brand new. The Ipodification of the usb/serial/video out port I mean come on sony shoot yourself in the foot with a 12 gauge deer slug why don't ya.
Here is how the go woulda done well
1) some way to allow one copy of each UMD game you owned by connecting a UMD based PSP activated on the same account to the GO or using media Go software
2)The Go used the same port on the psp 2k an 3k for video out and headphone jack
3)Cost about 170bucks
4)The EXACT SAME USB port on the top of the handheld so you could use chotoshot,1seg tuner,psp gps receiver....also make it less painful if you lost your data cable x.x!
5)A second nub (ya i we all wished it had a second nub but we can see where its ment to be)
sorry for the long post >.>
At least I will give them this, they dont want everyone to get a copy of umd's they can sell while still keeping the game
BUT! why not a mail in program, get a limited game on the go, and mail in the disk with a BARCODE taped onto it
when received unlock
SEGA did a exchange program with the SEGA CD 1 vs 2 , and SEGA CD vs CDX, and it was common place in the early pc days for the handful of systems (ie mail in this coupon for a set of tandy disks)
surely in this day and age sony can figure out a fair program that does not bend over their consumers
if they actually did not have cabbage for brains they would notice this is a way to self absorb, and destroy, most umd format games over time and really "coke dealer" push internet distribution
course this is the same company that did not release the gps unit in the US, we are just a expansive country with LOTS of nothing in between and bass ackwards roads, why would we ever want a cheap(ish) gps unit for our glossy black toy
same here with the game part umd disc
but while at gamecrazy i got to see the box and it came with
rockband unplugged
didn't gran turismo come with it?
plus 3 games of my choice let's see here
in a way their at the moment giving away 4 games about 60 usd if i'm not mistaked?
but it's everyones choice
plus i here psp-4000 is coming
a pspgo and psp-3000 just had childern aparently?
eh no umd drive that sucks i dont want to dowload the games i bought before ;(
but the storage space i great=) custom firmware on this would rock
90% of us here probably own 1 umd game (if that) so using this "No UMD Drive!, I hate you Sony" thing is just an excuse to flame them.
Sure it sucks for people who actually do have a lot of UMD games, but for the majority, it's just a easy way to moan.
The real gripe everyone has is with the price.
Hey i'm not gonna deny that i only own a few games but the ones i do buy are either second hand or out the bargain bin, but my biggest problem is i'm lucky to spend 10% of my time on Psp games, the rest is on homebrew, and the Psp go is useless without removable battery, and the controls look too cramped for playing for long, i mean normal Psp's already too painfull to use much.
The real question i think is, Why would i pay more for less? i mean it only does what other psp's do already and is much more delicate. The PSP Go is really a failure attempt at improvement, maybe if they hadnt released a 3000 series it may have been fine, but with so many variations of the same thing its kind of pointless. Another point is, Sony never improved anything on it :/ they could have easily designed it with a touch screen or a dual thumb stick .
Another no from me, unless they manage to get CFW on it, and has a price drop.
Someone posted they have 32G on their psp thanx to hombrew, how does that work?
photofast needs to make a adapter for the go to us SD cards like the CR-3100 >.>
with CFW that adapter could allow 64gb of storage <,<
Bluetooth: cool. I can get behind bluetooth headphones, and Sixaxis control for when I plug into the TV.
Slider: meh. it's sexy and small, but not necessary in my mind.
16GB internal storage: nice!
Smaller Screen: initially I thought NOT WORTH IT. but after reading reviews, it seems that the popular opinion is that: even though smaller, the screen is better quality. I like that.
All in all, I'll get one as soon as we can flash CFW. That is unless the 4000 comes with bluetooth.
