'PSP Go' leaked in new videoDVDBack23 @ May 30, 2009 19:29 | 12 comments
John Koller, director of hardware marketing at Sony America, speaks during the video and notes that the differences between the new PSP and the older slim PSP-3000 model are "on-board memory, the flash memory, and 16 gigs of space. There's Bluetooth on board as well, so you can use a Bluetooth headset, and you can actually tether it to your cell phone as well. But ultimately, it's the portability. Since you can bring all that content with you in a smaller form factor, you've got the most immersive games to play, and now you've got a smaller unit to do it with."
It is unclear whether the handheld will remove the bulky UMD drive, but it is clear Sony is moving its emphasis towards downloadable games and movie content.

Surely Sony knows how many issues people have with these on their phones, or maybe that is the whole plan to have them fail outside of warranty and bag another sale. |

If they're going to go through the trouble of completely removing the UMD drive, they should also just go ahead and add the 2nd analog stick. This new PSP Go is already incompatible with old PSP games that everyone bought on UMD discs to begin with, might as well add a 2nd stick and come out with a completely new hand held. |

Comment by: inagasake (May 31, 2009 04:03) They need a portable PSP with four shoulder buttons (helpful for PS1 games) and dual analog sticks. How can you play PS1 games on the thing with only 2 shoulder buttons? |

Comment by: Morreale (May 31, 2009 07:01) Ugh why is everyone asking for buttons?! It would be pretty damn stupid to add in another analog stick and maybe a R2 and L2 after 3 PSPs that play the same games with the same graphics and whatever. It isn't a new PSP, it's the same one with a different look. |

Comment by: 21Q (Jun 01, 2009 00:35) Ughhhhh I can't believe that's the actual placement of the nubby stick! |

Comment by: varnull (Jun 01, 2009 00:53) bluetooth and tether it to your phone .. now i guess that's an improvement for people with stupid expensive g3 phone plans who want to watch streamed tv and the like... IF it will run a proper browser.

Comment by: Morreale (Jun 01, 2009 01:19) Yea I don't understand why they would put the analog stick there... It's like their tryin' to make it like a normal PlayStation controller. Who the hell do they think they are?? |
