The editors didn't like
No physical games mean no tradingin or buying used
Media Go is Windows only
Thirdparty companies not required to digitally release games
Black unit is a fingerprint magnet
No matter how you slice it the price is still ridiculously high
Pricier online content
More expensive than older models
Battery no longer removable
Too expensive- Renders your UMD library useless- Renders your accessories useless- Slow WiFi not changed since 2005- Slow game installs with no multitasking
High price
No real improvements
802.11b wireless for a download-only device is not fast enough. Overall
Designed with a specific consumer in mind
Not the average gamer. Some of the reviews of Sony’s PSPgo may leave you with the impression that t...
Expensive. Performance is identical to last PSP model. M2 memory cards. Slow 802.11b. Non-removable battery. Smaller display. No UMD optical drive
If you own PSP UMD titles
They must be repurchased as downloads.
Pricey
No touchscreen
No upgrade path for UMD owners
The controls can be difficult to master because it is so compact.
Actually feels a little too snug
So the PSPgo is harder to slide open
Top flops around a bit when in the open position.
Have a library of PSP games? You're not playing 'em on the PSPgo. No support for old accessories either.
Smudgy black surface
Proprietary power and data connector
Proprietary Memory Stick Micro slot
Smaller screen
Lousy
Unimproved browser
Minor comfort sacrifices due to smaller size
Less flexible than UMD-equipped PSPs
Despite lack of touch screen and second analog stick
Smaller screen (but same resolution)
Awkward placement of analog stick
Volume
And display controls
Unable to play UMD games or use old PSP accessories
Pick up the PSPgo and you'll see its significantly smaller than the old PSP. The UMD drive is gone, replaced with 16GB of internal storage for stashing games downloaded direct from the PlayStation Store. The 3.8-inch screen is a stunner and its 43 per...
That said, we found the gaming experience itself a tad cramped. You’ll soon find your hands are in an awkward position which does not compare well to the bigger PSP-3000. The d-pad and controls could do with being closer to the centre, and the pasti...
The PSP Go is a nice idea, but the flimsy build and high prices for its download-only games let it down. Moving to downloads only is a bold move, but games should at least be reduced to match their UMD cousins. Compared to the Nintendo DSi, the PSPgo i...
If you're upgrading from the PSP, you will essentially lose your entire game collection - not good - but if you're a first-time buyer, go for it - the screen, graphics and processor are still superior to the Nintendo DS while the downsizing has made it...
Beautifully designed, Decent build-quality, Fits in your pocket, Downloadable game store, Bluetooth tethering
Fingerprints!, Expensive, No real killer apps, Battery life is poor, No UMD drive
Sony's first PlayStation Portable PSP handheld gaming console was first announced at E3 way back in 2003 and first arrived in UK stores in September 2005.Fast forward four and a bit years and Sony has finally released a pocket-sized version of the PSP...
Abstract: With its upcoming PSP Go, Sony is betting that you like "new and shiny" more than you like "money and savings".That's not to say that we dislike it. In fact, the PSP Go is attractive, playable and pleasingly compact. The fourth entry in the PlayStation...
The PSPs usual excellence as a gaming device and PSP, bolstered by more memory and greater portability. The promise of instant access to new games
The smaller screen and lack of backwards compatibility
As it stands, youd be ill advised to trade in your existing PSP for one with a smaller screen and no backwards compatibility, but new users are bound to be intrigued. Our advice: wait and see...
Its way to early to make a definitive judgment on the Sony PSP Go, but from our early hands-on experience, we cant wait to find out more. Darren Gladstone ...
