Sony America abandons UMD-to-PSP Go "good will" program, offers 225 games at full retail price instead

Sep 28th 2009 9:04AM on Engadget

Sony really have shot themselves in the foot here! Sure, a PSP Go may work for newcomers to the console, but anyone who had a normal PSP won't upgrade to it if they can't carry their games over.

I believe Sony did have the right idea, but they should have launched it with the PSP2, NOT another iteration of the current PSP platform.

iPhone Smephone. The iPhone is so 2005, its the HTC Leo that I'm more interested in now. Shame its on O2 :(

iPhone OS 3.0 beta 5 now available

Is a) this still there and b) Does it work on Windows. I'm looking at getting a new iPhone later in the year, but it MUST be able to be tethered for me to even consider the phone as its a must-have for me.

Final Fantasy VII now available on the PlayStation Store

+1 on that. I had never played a FF game before, but the wife was really into them. Its not standard FF fair, but as a game Crisis Core is superb. I've already completed it once and am now going back through, with a guide in hand so I can complete it 100%. IMO, probably the best PSP game out there.

Does it support multi monitor setups though? I've got 3 screens!

Multi-shape Cobra PSP stand wraps you up, won't let you go

Actually for watching movies whilst in flight, that would be very useful, otherwise you have to rest the unit on your hands to get the right angle. Good idea, even if its of rather limited use

These 3 letters seems more suited to this story than any I've read for a long time...

W.T.F!

'Resident Evil 5' Xbox 360 unboxing

Well, at least the red ring of death will now co-ordinate nicely with it!

Intel threatens AMD with termination of x86 license within 60 days

LOL, there's a good reason for no new architecture = software support. It would need OS support and that basically means windows. Hell, took them long enough to support a 64 bit version of the x86 and the last support another architecture had was Alpha and NT4!

ITOI children's interactive toilet concept is terrifying

a bit like the designer then.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
