The PSP Go

Written by Clyde.

So a lot of PSP fanboys are getting excited over the PSP Go

I’m not one to mince my words, so here’s the all-important specs upfront:

GOOD:

1) No UMD drive, means it's lighter.

2) Downloadable games

3) 108 grams versus the already featherweight 189 g of the latest PSP 3000

4) 16 GB of internal flash memory, plus it's upgradeable by adding your own memory stick.

5) WIFI and Bluetooth!

BAD:

1) Again, only one analog controller

2) You can't play your UMDs

3) Smaller screen; 3.8 inch versus the PSP 3000's 4.3 inch.

It's comimg to the American market on Oct 1st (oh isn't that Children's Day?) and for us here in Singapore, we'll be queuing up on (date unannounced lol!). But it IS going to be released in Japan in November. So perhaps Dec for other Asian markets?

Anyways, I for one dig the cool, sexy design. It looks like one of those devices Inspector Gadget had. I'm actually looking forward to playing games or watching movies on the train. With a bluetooth headset. It's really like a playstation fanboy's wet dream.

However, I think the analog stick's gonna be a pain in the rear to use. It's so awkwardly placed, i can't imagine playing God Of War on it, let alone Gran Turismo Mobile when it comes out. PSP games like Naruto- Ultimate Ninja Hero should be fine, as it uses the directional buttons intensively.

So... what do you prefer? Black, or Pearl White? Check this out if you need help deciding.
