PSP a GO!?
- Thread starter Cat in the Hat
- Start date
I just hope we hear something completely out of the blue, everything seems to be known now which although I would have been begging to know this time at many previous E3s, now I look at it I'd rather get information overload during a 2hr press conference. Still I'm looking forward to all 3 conferences!
I was so excited to get one, but after seeing it looking so ugly I am hesitated. This is like the worse design Sony ever made.
And no touch screen is a big problem, because it means it will have the exact same type of games of the original PSP instead of expanding the possibilities.

Clearly they were getting this out of the way so they can surprise us all with the PS3 Slim at E3!

Dude, even DSi sells for like $170. How much do you bet this wouldn't cost more? It would be nice it didn't, but realistically I'm not holding my breath.

another angle that shows off the shoulder button and how thin it is. Quality ain't too good because my camera is old.
pretty damn ugly. even in the new pics.
anyway, no umd was expected, but i wonder how exactly this is gonna work. i usually wait before i buy most games until they hit the bargain bin. some great older psp games can now be found for 10 or 20 bucks or even less. however, i suppose we're gonna have to pay full price for all the downloadable games. which kinda sucks. but i guess that was expected, too. :/

They refer to E3 in the past tense in the episode.
"With the formal announcement at this year's E3, everyone wants to get their hands on the PSP Go." That would certainly imply the announcement was already made before the episode.
It's possible that they caught wind of what MS is announcing on Monday and intentionally released the episode earlier than planned though.

I count three control buttons that should be available in closed-mode; the two shoulder buttons and the PS button (I assume power and volume are somewhere on the sides, but they don't help with the fast-forward.) Theoretically they could enable some basic controls in closed mode. Tap a shoulder button to skip forward a chapter/move left or right in SMB; PS button would act as both pause and home button (pause and bring up a menu you can cycle left/right through to return to the home screen, etc.) Hold either shoulder button to fast forward...
It wouldn't be a robust interface, but I think they might be able to make at least that work. I don't think there's the audience for it they're expecting, but it seems possible.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
The Mylo 2 had a bigger and touch enabled screen, but I think the resolution was lower. Did they take the features backward?

You can rest assured this will cost significantly more than the current PSP. It has 16GB of storage and Bluetooth. If it slides in under $249 I will be highly surprised.
I do think we'll see a price cut on the PSP-3000. If they're smart, down to $129.

Yup. I agree. Then again if Sony isn't going after that demographic than perhaps it isn't a big deal? I still think they missed a golden opportunity. After all, the DS/DSi have touch screens and some of the app's are pretty dang awesome (Animanatee) not to mention they already have the digital distribution store. Open up the PSP to app's made by the folks and boom, there you go. This system really just adds memory which you can add to the original PSP and blue tooth. Thats it.

Save it for the PSP2, not the damn revision of PSP1.

The best PSP news out of this is the small games development the guy on Qore was talking about. Looks like we'll be getting nice little PSN games to download to the PSP Go (and other versions too, I'm sure). If the PSN's PS3 offerings are any indication, we're going to get a lot of great, portable games for PSP when this gets rolling.

Yes, he is... either he doesn't realize that this is only a feature of custom firmware, or he has no idea what he is talking about.

Purely aesthetically, I just don't like the way the D and Button pads are so close to the bottom and it cuts the circles of the wells off. Other than that, it's certainly not awful.

Again with the slide powerbutton? Come on Sony. Give us a DSi type of option with an actual BUTTON. The power slide on many PSP's have busted over time. Man...
:lol Man, some of you guys have real issues with interpreting scale.
The screen is smaller than the original and the unit is thinner, so I really don't think the analog pad is as far in dimensionally as some of you seem to think. Mark my words, it'll be a lot more confortable than the original unless you have tiny little girl hands.

Well the base itself is slim but you have to add on the thickness of the sliding screen. I'm sure if we wanted someone could exrapolate its thickness based on prior measurements we have with the current PSP model. It's very very thin though.

Couple of reasons for that, but I do like how it looks. I just don't see it being comfortable, which is the biggest factor for me.
