It appears that Sony fanboys are all drooling over this, but let me point out the issues here as I see them: 1. The analog stick placement looks ackwardly placed. It is nearly in the middle of the system. 2. There is no UMD. This means anyone with a current PSP, so why would a person buy this new unit who already has a PSP? Unlike the DSi, which plays all current DS games, this system doesn't play current PSP games. 3. The screen is left exposed. The issue of scuffing when not playing is still not resolved. The DS has the approach where the screen is protected.
On the plus side, the system may end up costing less then the current PSP, and may end up with much better battery life. Also, load times can stand to be reduced also.
The PSP Go is a GREAT test for whether you are a Sony Fanboy. If you defend the unit, think it is awesome and did everything right, you likely are. If you don't see the issues with it, and don't have reservations, you defintely are. If the said released titles for it get you all goosebumpy, odds are you are a Sony Fanboy. |
1- Perhaps it's just looks? Wont really know for sure until people can get their hands on it. It was uncomfortable for my thumb to use the nub on the regular PSP's so I'm not expecting much of an improvement.
2- Not having UMD isn't all bad. In fact, isn't UMD responsible for long load times and lower battery life of the PSP? Seeing as it was also a failure as a movie format, the switch to digital downloads allows them to make the system smaller, increase battery life, and lower load times. Now, will you not be able to play all PSP games because of this? You wont. However, it seems like they plan on making PSP games available for digital downloads so it's possible that they'll bring previously released PSP games to the digital download store on top of releasing new games in this format. I guess the question will really be how many PSP games will they make availalbe for the PSP Go since the older PSP's can already download full games for storage on external memory sticks.
3- Yes that can be an issue.
As for that last part, why offend others with crap like that?
