Double-Fail!]]>Jun 2nd 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/
Sony will never use standard memory or any add-on. ]]>Jun 2nd 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/
Sony Ericsson plans to only use SD and many Sony products support SD or CF, like the alpha range.]]>Jun 2nd 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Embedded flash, no UMD games support, silly sliding form-factor. The only advantage I see is far more compact size (which is a great move, all said). Though I may have reservations about the smaller screen (or not).

The controls look more uncomfortable, though I reserve to right to change my mind about those after playing with one.

Hrm. Can't say I would appreciate this. I also wonder how the old-skool accessories (GPS, camera) would fit to this. I'd say they're gone too, if the UMD is gone. No UMD was the biggest surprise. The vocal anti-UMD whiners have won this round :)

We'll see how she sells.]]>Jun 2nd 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/

Cmon sony, at least make people want to buy your products]]>Jun 2nd 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 3rd 2009 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/
UMDs cap at 1.8GBs.

But I think 16GBs is pretty good. I mean, I've yet to see games that use the full capacity of UMDs. The biggest game I have is FFVII: Crisis Core, I think its 1.5GBs. I don't think that its worth the $250.00 though. No more ram upgrade? It could have been used for web browsing. This 10 year idea is not a good one IMO. I personally want a more powerfull system.

Does anyone know what the capacity cap for M2 is currently? ]]>Jun 3rd 2009 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/
apart from UMD less, no new feature is added...

- dual sticks
- OLED/touch screens

i'm so disappointed :'(]]>Jun 2nd 2009 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 3rd 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/
Otherwise it is what it is. I don't think it's a fail, it's a mid point between PSP 1 and the next PSP2 but that in itself maybe the disappointing fact. It doesn't need to be a phone, or media player, or touch screen - it just needs to play games well - that should be its focus. Admittedly with that in mind it should also be cheaper.

As for second nubs, just thought they could tick one somehow in the middle of those buttons on the right, or have some kind of screw-in nub or flip panel..something to think for the next one.]]>Jun 16th 2009 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Also, the new joystick placement will make it impossible for a human to use together with the directional keys, making some games pretty much unplayable...

At least this is optional, because I'm sure most of the new "PSP Go!" features are going to be a firmware update for the old PSP's (video store). Though bluetooth would be nice to have... but not enough to warrant a new purchase. I see there's no wired headset option anymore (and no TV-out). That's weak. If they upgraded the wireless to 802.11G or faster then I might consider trading mine in though. ]]>Jun 2nd 2009 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/Jun 2nd 2009 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-psp-go-announced-bye-bye-umd/

but TBH, as long as it's got a WVGA screen it will do amazingly in the PMP market because it's small enough to be pocket sized but has a big enough and high enough resolution screen for movies to be watchable.
