There is the difference. Sony gives you an optional free download they link you to in a book a good portion of the userbase won't bother to read. Instead it should be mandatory to use to act as a middleman for your files, eliminating a thousand knock off programs from existing, and should directly add files through syncing the way iTunes and the Zune store do. The same goes for the DS.

If they want to be successful media players along with being successful gaming machines, they need to cater to the lowest common denominator.

Did you know that the Media Go program is included on a disc that comes in the PSP Go box?

I watched a guy unbox a retail one at PAX.  I think that addresses the issue here.

Thanks for the info. It addresses most of the issue. I'd still like it to be mandatory, but that's merely splitting hairs if they're willing to nudge you in the right direction with a disc. What about the syncing part?
