I thought I saw a man trying to grab me. Turns out it was a tree.
Yes. There are $30 cables for the Go which you can use to connect to either a component or composite tv. It remains to be seen however whether or not you can actually charge the unit while using one of these cables, as they take up the sole proprietary USB slot which is also used for charging the unit.

If you're really passionate about playing long sessions, you might want to save up for a $30 dock as well, which would allow for both charging and video out at the same time.

Not exactly as cost effective, as a psp 3000 which uses seperate cables for charging and video out, but if you simply must have a go and must have dual shock 3 support and video out and charging, the Go it's the only way to do that.

And quite frankly, if you're considering a Go, I doubt the additional $30 should bother you that much.
@ Look At This Suit

Either you have horrible short term memory loss (in which case I am very sorry) or you didn't watch the video, where this feature is demonstrated. If you didn't watch the video, why are you commenting??
I wouldn't call it worthless, just overpriced and not a good value over time.

I have literally no issues with the hardware. I think it's priced perfectly for the hardware you get and the features that brings (pause game, bluetooth, internal memory, sexier package, smaller form factor)

My only issue is the overall implicit cost of games. The additional 70 for the console is totally worth it and understandable, but the hundreds more you'll spend on games priced more than their retail (or used) counterparts doesn't make it worth it.

If I buy 20 games for the system (and there are over 50 worth buying by my count) at $5 more than I could get them used, that's $100 right there. And many games are more than $5 cheaper used...
look what I saw after voting:

Would ya' look at that. neat :-)
hm, I feel like these are mildly not safe for work.

I didn't think Joystiq posted screenshots of nudity. huh.
Oh my gosh, you've changed my life! I've met the girl of my dreams on this miraculous site. Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!
@Akuma haha, clever.

My argument isn't one of "Oh, it's ok I say that word, I'm not actually a racist!"

It's more that, this is part of the vernacular now, and it's not about hating a group of people.

That having been said, I'm not advocating the use of the word as a pejorative. I think the use of the word 'gay' as 'lame' just makes you look like an idiot.
If what you say offends a large group of people, stop saying it. Don't make yourself look like a prick, even if you're not trying to be.

I wonder what the most intelligent sentence gay as a pejorative has been used in?

"Ugh your thesis on quantum teleportation was so gay!"
Actually, on a more serious note, I understand both sides of the issue,

Those of homosexual orientation feel objectified by the use of their moniker as a pejorative.

Those of the "eh, whatever" side feel like that position is one of oversensitivity, because typically the person using the term is not intending be inflammatory or hateful towards those of homosexual orientation, they are merely speaking in the vernacular.

I tend to side with those in the 2nd camp, with all due respect towards those in the first. Gay has three definitions now: homosexual, happy, and lame. It's just like any other word in the English language, with multiple meanings.
I'm more of a Mac myself.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
