Now, not so much.

I think what i would have done, besides giving the PSP a second analog stick, is I'd have used mini DVD's as the media instead of UMD. Then you could place the disk in your computer and transfer the game data to the UMD. this way you'd always have the physical disk.]]>Sep 24th 2009 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/
Why are they trying to make legit users life miserable?
people bought games and that's how you treat them? lol Sony.

Ripping your own games to ISO files is already possible with current PSP with custom firmware so hopefully PSPGO will get hacked or NO BUY]]>Sep 24th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/

Total FAIL!]]>Sep 24th 2009 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/
I admire how they've pushed the capabilities of a humble unit the way they have, but yeah, they could have made it worldwide. MapThis! is the only (homebrew) solution I know of that will use the thing, and it's a surprisingly excellent application, but you need to hack together some maps, and of course you need custom firmware to run it.

It's as if the designer's goals were something along the lines of:
"yes, we can make this far smaller and less obtrusive, but we need to keep the roundness consistent with the unit, we need to express this circle motif..."

The inelegant monstrosity is the result of that thinking. I would expect this accessory would be one of those where the Chinese non-Sony design would definitely be the preferred version.

Remotes and cables look OK.
But man, who designed this? Something tells me we'll never get a interview with the designer(s).

Yet another reason to stick with the downloading-and-UMDing (and cheaper) current model, if you ever needed one.]]>Sep 24th 2009 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 5:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/
This lack of compatibility between versions is rather upsetting (I still have my PSP-1000 remote control collecting dust as it doesn't work with newer models...), but, personally, I would forgive Sony if they'd come up with a decent lineup of accessories making use of the newly implemented bluetooth capability.]]>Sep 24th 2009 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/ Really, people are better off without a PSP Go, the benefits of the 2000/3000 outweigh those of the Go. If people stick with or buy the older PSPs, they aren't losing anything but Bluetooth and PSP mini support. And if anyone should be so daft as to purchase a PSP Go, just buy the new accessories already, you were already suckered into paying a "premium" (quoted from Sony) for something that isn't worth it's price tag (they would've bought the new accessories with anyone's say-so anyhow). Sony knows this, so I'm guessing they're counting on consumer ignorance to push sales for this converter.
By the way Engadget, please don't refer to the PSP 2000/3000 as "last-gen" when compared with the PSP Go, it's illogical, especially since this is the gaming industry. The PSP Go is not a successor to the PSP, that is the PSP2. The Go is nothing but a repackaged PSP with a added feature, Sony's version of the DSi if you will. I mean, you don't consider a 60GB PS3 "last-gen" compared to a 250GB PS3 Slim do you? No right? Okay then. ]]>Sep 24th 2009 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/
If I was on their design team, they'd be on top of the world because I'd make certain products with obvious flaws never made it past the design stage.]]>Sep 24th 2009 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/"If people stick with or buy the older PSPs, they aren't losing anything but Bluetooth and PSP mini support."

No, all games downloaded for PSP are identical for all PSPs, so even the "small download" PSP Minis will be for all PSPs.

Sony's really shooting themselves in the foot with the go. They need to repurpose whoever's in the PSP hardware division and get in some new blood. Can the screen even open? ]]>Sep 24th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 24th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/psp-go-converter-gives-you-a-more-well-rounded-portable-with-sup/Sep 26th 2009 4:24PM
