PSP Go launch inspires three-fold sales increase for platform {Engadget}
Oct 8th 2009 5:03PM Saddam Hussein: Hey man, of course I realize I can't trade games. But it is funny I had not actually thought about the irony of trading in a bunch of games to buy something I can't trade games with. I could have gotten a lot more than what Game Stop gave me for all that stuff, but it paid for 90 percent of the PSP Go with none of the hassle of selling the stuff to individuals. Sold the DSi to a friend for cheap, but still more that what Game Stop would have given me for it.
Sadly I think the PSP Go is a sign if the times. In 10 years, maybe even 5 years, I don't think you will be able to buy a new console that uses physical media. But I am fine with this for games. I have been doing it with Steam on my Windows PC for years (also have a mac) and love Steam.
I much prefer physical media when it comes to movies though.
PSP Go launch inspires three-fold sales increase for platform {Engadget}
Oct 8th 2009 1:07PM I traded in a bunch of PS3 games, sold my DSi and its games to buy a PSP Go along with an online copy of Gran Turismo. I have to give Sony props for making an awesome portable. All the buttons are better and while the analog stick takes a little getting used to, it is also improved. The slider is solid and frankly 16GB is plenty to pack on a bunch if photos, a couple dozen albums, download a bunch of demos and of course Gran Turismo. A full web browser is nice but I wish it had YouTube support. Also it plays all the videos I have prepared for my iPhone flawlessly and dare I say it, the screen looks better than my 3GS. I had a PSP-1000 a long time ago, and sold it because the screen drive me NUTS, the trailing was terrible. I also skipped the 2000 and 3000 for similar reasons. I got a DSi because I thought it would be the online store connected portable with all the cool stuff. But I had been very disappointed by the content, also the DSi was just too "kiddy" for me.
My only complaints about the PSP Go are most of the same complaints I had about the original. Mainly the shoulder buttons. You have to be extra careful handling it while listening to music and such as they are super easy to press. Extra annoying if in the middle of a long movie. Also a dozen or so little nice touches added to the Go. Like the game "pause" feature. It does a sort of save state like an emulator does. Bluetooth (A2DP??), and slide the display close to sleep it (option is off by default).
Am really hopeful for the PSP going forward. Hoping to see some more "apps" as well as waaaay more UMD based games coming online.
Anyway just my opinion in the sea of other opinions here on the big E.
