Come to think of it, is this the final PSP Go? that really looks prototype-ish to me. Maybe Sony wants public feedback on that and then make a final revision?

it will launch fall 2009 so i doubt this is still a prototype.


Eh, I sure hope it is. The button placement is fucked up... I mean, look where the analog is... Then again, no one limits me from getting a PSP 3k. Have they been hacked already?

@ necromunda, you would have to have that in a PSP 2, because of compatibility with the old PPS for new games

Anyway, it is really growing on me, but there are a couple of things that I need to know
Firstly, will I have to take 2 PSPs with me on holiday if this does not take UMDs... what will I do with those
Secondly, will they sell codes in boxes or will they just go to online only?

Why would you have to wait for that functionality....

Could you not simply support the earlier games by just using the 1 stick over the 2?

And with shooting games and whatnot just support aiming with 2 sticks over 1... it really would be that hard to support that funtionality in a game... I mean it wouldnt take developers long AT ALL to create this option.

Its 100% perfectly easy to do and I still don't know why they are not doing it.

Although i don't think you are going to understand it, but the problem is that if they add another stick then the future games will start using two sticks. So this will make the existing PSPs user base useless. So in fact with a single stroke of ur "genius idea" Sony will manage to make its PSP base go from 50 million to 0 million. The developer will be in paradox whether to use two analog sticks for the game or just one and make the game playable for 50 million users or just less than 1 million. Sony will also alienate its existing user because some new games are not going to run on them and they will definitely be furious.

 

So sony has definitely done the right thing in my view.

To be fair (although I agree with you that they shouldn't put a second analog stick on until the PSP2), games could be made to use the second analog stick as an option, while falling back on single stick control on a UMD-PSP, similar to how most PS1 games could use either the DualShock or an original PS1 controller. OTOH, upgrading in that case just required buying a new controller, not a whole system.

 

In general though, I do agree that it wouldn't be entierly prudent to add a second analog stick on the PSP Go at this point in time.

I'll say what I said in the news article...

PSP 3000 > PSP Go. PSP Go has some stupid features IMO (no UMD?), similar to the DSi. And DSL > DSi.

Damn straight - on both accounts.
