New PSP Leaked

I'd be interested to see the download list at launch if this is real. Have a bad feeling Sony would take this opportunity to only offer their game selection and charge you a few more bucks than UMD retail for most titles. Just look at the current PSN prices, nearly everything can be found 3 to 5 bucks cheaper in stores.

Never understood that. You would think it would be 3 to 5 bucks less when you aren't paying for a hard copy.

[QUOTE="Vexx88"]Oh and just restating the fact for people who are not paying attention. ITS NOT THE PSP2 What makes you think the PSP2 would come out before Nintendo's next handheld anyway ?mushi799

what does that have to do with the PSP GO? Just because this isn't the "PSP 2" does not mean there couldn't have touchscreen, 2nd analog or better design. You're thinking what Sony was thinking. Which is why they are losing.

I'll be getting one on launch day. :)

It's beautiful.

I don't care really about the 2nd analog (but it's gonna happen sooner or later), but if Sony was trying to make a splash and excite developers and gamers alike with the PSP GO, they failed. After all it's said and done, it's just a UMD-less PSP, that's it.

Guess we have to "wait" for psp 2.

It's beautiful.

It looks like the Sony Mylo which launched in 2006. :|

My first gen PSP has finally given up. Random cracks on the casing, badly ghosting screen, dead pixel and now the battery won't charge. Was interested in buying a new PSP but this won't play any of my old games. So unless they come up with some way for me to play them, not gonna pick this up.CC_Tiberian

Fortunately for me, I sold all my UMD's and bought some games off PSN. All I need to do is save some money to make up for the difference of the trade-in value of my 2000.

If you guys think about it, the psp will be getting more games, because of this.

Why do you ask. more people will be buying games, which will make developpers look towards the PSP-GO before looking at the DS.

This is a smart move from sony in my opinion.

Sadly i wont buy this when it comes out, I would prefer to see it evolve.

Just my opinion.

Waste of money. I'll pass.

There was a rumor about the Go a couple months ago, and they talked about having UMD conversion, so I'm sure it won't leave the PSP fans hanging.

I suppose not going to the store for games anymore would save me some gas money :P

I do hope they implement some sort of UMD -> download tradeoff or something though. Take your UMDs to a game store and get free PSN vouchers for them?(that seems like the most reasonable route to me)

I don't even know what they might make the starting price of the Go though... back to $300 like the "good ol' days" maybe. I would be surprised if it was less.

Why would they increase the price by that much? They took stuff out and made it smaller. They didn't up the specs, increase the screen size or add a camera like Ninty did with the DSi. I wouldn't be suprised if it costed the same or only $10~$20 more.

From what I saw in that leaked video, Sony is going for the on-the-go approach, and they want developers to make games for short bursts of play. This is cool, but I'm hoping that they also soon release a mega ultra-powerful PSP2 that is meant for long periods of playing console/PC quality games (Crysis PSP anyone?). It's got to have tons of RAM

people everywhere are reacting to this like wild fire. mostly negative about it. first off, none of us here has tried it out yet so we do not know if it feels comfortable in our hands once we try it out. secondly, i do hate the design, but who knows once i try it out i might even like it. people need some patience. today news goes around like wild fire and people take everything they read as granted and don't care to find out themselves first hand.

i think sony made a very bold move getting rid of the UMD drive. i applaud sony for that. they have always been known to make a bold move into the future. we always have to move forward. you guys have to understand, first were tapes.. people loved their tapes. along came the compact disc(cd player) and i am sure lots of people complained what they would do with their old golden tapes and they too did not want to purchase cd players because of the same situation we are facing now. then came mp3 and digital music and cd players started to die out. this same thing is going on. sony is kind enough to make this process a gradual phase instead of making the old psp models totally obsolete. they said they will have both psp3000 and psp go on the market and will release both umd's and a digital copy for downloads for those that prefer physical copy or those that prefer digital copy and portablity more. wake up people, there is always change and we need to embrace it if we move towards the future. i too will miss my umd games, but i will play them if i really must on my psp2000. you guys are looking at all the bad things and not looking at any of the good things to this new change of psp go. first of all, a 16 gb memory will mean game developers can create games that are bigger than 1.6gb and will have more content on it. umd discs have a limit for game capacity. ps3 games are way bigger than 1.6gb and this is why a lot of ported games from console to psp has so much less content than the console versions do. more space means more in game contents for us gamers. i have had ps1 games sitting in the corner gaining dust and i never even bother to play them any more. backward compatibitily is always nice but most of the games for ps1, psp(umd) will probably be offered for download. if you know how they are always available anyways. this download only also will cut down piracy more (hopefully) and that means better games for us. i am no fan of the psp go, but all i am saying is, give it a chance instead of being all negative before you even tried it out. its time to move on.. kids.

about not getting a 2nd thumb stick, yea i do agree it was needed, but its a good thing though. if new games were made with a 2nd thumb stick in mind, then we ALL would have to purchase this psp go in order to play those games. sony is doing this change gently so they can see how this download only games works for psp and then maybe in the future they will make a psp2 which will have a 2nd thumbstick just for new games and then our good old psp and psp go will be obsolete. i do think they could have atleast put a camera on the psp go. i mean my tiny 3 year old cellphone has a 2megapixel camera on it. how hard could it have been to have a built in camera to take pictures as well on the go. the best advice i can give is, just wait.. read the reviews first, find out its weakness and strengths then try it out yourself from someone you know, then make the decision weather to purchase or not. just reading other's opinion who have not even tried it out yet is a path for failure.. and i can see it coming a mile away.

They just could've taken out the second analog's use for the PSPs. It would've worked fine. PSP Go users could control the camera while the PSP users could use a button or button combination to center the camera... Then again... A PSP Overlord comes to mind.

A camera? Everybody, even I, would say they are copying Nintendo. I would hate the idea of having another gaming system with a terrible camera. Just no...

With GS reporting it now it looks like I'm probably wrong, although 16gb of space isn't nearly enough.

huh? yes you do need an explanation. sorry i am not as fast as you are. just cuz nintendo ds has a camera that means sony should'nt make one or then everyone will say psp is copying nintendo's style? who gives a beep what nintendo ds has. i only care about what other uses a psp has. its a multi media device and it having a camera only makes it more useful portable device.

Yes it would be copying Nintendo, or a grand coincidence. We're talking about a gaming system, not just a general device. It's a terrible idea because for a decent quality camera Sony would need to spend much more money and the bulk would go up. Either we would pay more or it would be the first PS3s all over again.

They have similar appearances, menu styles, and functionality. Adding a built-in camera would further reduce the differences between the two. Adding a built-in camera would make it seem like Sony's version of the DS.

if thats true, then why do you think every cell phone brand now comes with a camera built in? i am sure one company came up with the idea to put a camera on their cellphone, and the rest joined the band wagon. there is a reason for that.. ITS USEFUL. great logic though. dont put something useful that people might use on your device cuz it will look like you are copying your competitors. if they followed your logic, then only one brand (the one who started cellphone cameras) would be the only brand with a camera on their cellphone and all other brands would not put it because it would be COPYING!

Well that went right over your head.:?

I personally wouldn't mind a camera on my PSP. I go to a lot of car shows so that would be very handy for me.

i am sure it did, thats why you replied with one sentence instead of carrying on defending your copying theory. back to the psp go discussions..

As amusing as that was... Yeah, having a camera on the PSP Go would be useful. Unfortunately it's impossible, since it's coming out this fall and it's been leaked.

Unless somebody has a time machine and goes back to kill the PSP Go designer, then oh well.

New PSP-2000 with 4 GB Memory Stick Pro Duo for $77...about 3 weeks ago.

Yeah...I'm the one laughing now.

This new PSP is horrible in my opinion. Love the PSP Slim.

What's the deal with Memory Stick Micro though? Apparently it will be faster, but seriously...it is NOT necessary. I have no problems swapping out Memory Sticks

The PS1 spawned from a peripheral Nintendo had Sony Design for them. Not necessarily Sony copying them, more like Nintendo shooting themselves in the foot.

yes but denying it makes it even worse

i may be wrong on this since i rarely follow up on consoles, but didn't xbox live come out first and then sony made something similar for online play? i am pretty sure if we look back at sony OR any other company including nintendo.. everyone takes the best and copy one another. we better get back to the psp GO discussion before the mods decide to have a power trip and lock this thread too.
