It WOULD have been a pretty big E3 announcement. Now it means nothing to E3. Showing it off is NOT the same as announcing it. It is old news at E3. Period.

They haven't said what is going to happen to those of us with 20 UMDs sitting around, maybe they will have something, give them a chance to actually announce it before you completely dismiss it

The psp go does not make the 3k obsolete I should point out.

The moment the go becomes available, your psp 1/2/3k doesn't just melt into non-existant.

Well I doubt that... I have over 70 UMDs and I still have my old model to play it on... I doubt Sony will give any refund for them :P But If the E3 presentation is good enough Im selling my entire collection and Im going to GO day one ( lame pun I know :P)

@hunter_alien

U have over 70 UMDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is the megaton, Sony's E3 will be horrible. Especially if M$ reveal this rumoured Zune HD which is rumoured to be using Tegra Hardware. Are Sony giving up?

Well, I certainly don't think it's a megaton. The PSP Go looks like utter crap!

It's a megaton because it officially confirms that the PSP is doomed. This will be a momentum-killer. It might not have been if the PSP had always been like this, but they just removed the primary game medium: that won't sit well with the people who have already bought existing PSP games. The DSi only got away with it because SLOT-2 wasn't the primary game medium, and I don't think they should have gotten away with it either; with the market accepting this shameful crippling of an extant console line, we can expect to see much more of it in the future. Companies should not be able to cripple hardware for the sake of cutting costs and expect the market to sit back and take it.

The DSi dropped backwards compatibility with GBA games, but still let people play their DS games.  It doubled the CPU speed, and increased the memory 4x.  It also happened to provide a bigger screen that helped with the ability to do input more accurately.  The DSi does provide a way for DS users to end up buying a new system.  The PSP Go is different.  It provides NOTHING for someone who already has a PSP, because your entire library of games for the PSP you own is toast.  And by going digital download format, you force people to either get MUCH larger storage, or skip completely the the digital download format.  It also forces Sony to keep the old PSP model on the market, rather than phasing it out, the way Nintendo has done with the

This is a total repositioning of the PSP in a new direction, without providing any reason for current owners of the PSP to be able to move over.  Well, MAYBE Sony will provide a way for people to rip their own UMDs so they work on the new unit.
