PSP Go lacks mini USB, compatibility with existing accessories, common sense

Great, Sony is becoming Nintendo...

At least Nintendo knows how to make things look good. And it actually adds new functions too (see the DSi) instead of just repackaging the same thing with a different form, a lot of things missing and a massive price raise

If it had a touchscreen, then it might have a reason, but no miniUSB?! 16GB storage instead?! I can just as easily buy 16GB memory card (8GB on official firmware, I think), or MSPRODUO miniSD adapter for 32GB. This is inexcusable!

What a waste of R&D! SONY! HELLO! Touchscreen! Keep the miniUSB, it doesn't hurt your cause! At least Nintendo doesn't $#@! their customers this way, but hey this just means thatI will NOT be buying a PSP Go.

Standard Sony practice really... yet another proprietary format that nobody wants or asked for.

It's funny how open the original PSPs are, especially compared to other Sony hardware when PSP first came out. That philosophy is nowhere to be found in the Go.

I don't know who Sony expects to attract with the Go. High-end gadget consumers won't like the lack of touchscreen or applications that every similarly priced portable has, and the PSP userbase won't like having to rebuy their games and accessories if they wish to upgrade.

WTH. No miniusb? Oh thats stupid Sony.

...Dont tell me you have to re-download them if you delete the games off of the psp... Its faster to just store them on the pc for later when you want to use them again >>_<<

Basically...it sucks.

On the bright side...GPS and Camera prices will go down fast pretty soon, so I might probably get those for my Phat...which is still the one and only trooper that's been with me all this time.
