Hello everyone! :) Christmas is over and it's almost back to normal (well, christmas was nothing special to me...). As you know I bought PSP Go sometime ago and I mentioned that I will write somekind of blog about it, so here it is :)
PSP GO
Hardware
PSP Go is light and fits to my pockets very well. Screen is smaller than PSP3000 or earlier ones but I don't mind because otherwise the quality of the screen is very good. With PSP1000 I did have problems with button locations and how you hold the device. My hands would cramp if I did play too long. I have same kind of problem with PSP Go, it's not as bad but it's there.
I like how the buttons are behind the screen, and because of this device can be smaller. Everything is littlebit like Nintendo DS but DS does everything better and other plus side at the DS is that it's screen can be adjusted to different angles.
PSP Go has 16Gt internal memory and I think it's pretty good size but of course 32Gt would have been better because you have to download every game on the internal memory or memory card. But if 16Gt is enough then just buy memory card. Because of the internal memory there is no UMD drive. Because there is no UMD drive, PSP Go is smaller and quieter than previous ones.
Games
No UMD drive means that you have to download your games at the PSN Store. This can be good or bad thing. I checked pricing of the PSN store and I compared those prices to couple shops prices. I didn't check any US stores so I can't say how much games are in the US but here in Finland and England prices at the shops were about 2 euros higher than PSN stores prices. So littlebit cheaper games :)
I did receive 10 (downloaded 9) games with my PSP Go. And I did have couple PSOne games that I can play on my PSP Go. (FF games and couple others) GTA, LBP, Motorstorm and God of war can show what PSP is capable of. I did notice some slowing down when I played God of war but maybe it's because that I tested only Demo version...(?) Controlls at the games were good (which I tested) but because of the desing of the buttons and locations my hands started to cramp after a while.
So there is flaws at the PSP Go but it's good console. Nintendo DS is better but I didn't want to buy my 3rd DS (I'm waiting 3DS to be released) I'm still not sure if I'm gonna buy 3DS at the launch day because I have my PSP Go to keep me company :P I want to know price and the day 1 games...
Score: 8.5/10
Tritton AX Pro Dolby 5.1 Gaming headset
I ordered gaming headphones to my PS3/x360: "Tritton AX Pro Dolby 5.1 Gaming Headset". Reviews have been great and I have very high hopes about these headphones. Price was 169e by the way...! (pricing went 169->250euros) There is couple things why I did buy these headphones: 1. My elderly neighbours has been complaining about my gaming noices (I don't know how because my sound levels are pretty low and very rarely play after 20.00) and 2nd reason is that my wife can listen music or watch movies/other things while I play games. Well see... I don't plan going all headphones gaming but it's interesting to see how this 5.1 headphones work. I try to write somekind of review about my new headphones :)
