PSP Go! Revealed?

[Domination]

This... atrocity IMO looks like a.... ugly ,atrocitious and monstrous experiment failure.

I thought if it was going to have touch screen I'm going to buy it, but seems not. Not only that this a mobile phone rip-off... the design is prety common but worst of all, it doesn't integrate the analog stick nicely. And the whole thing looks really bulky and weird. Plus the no UMD drive feature..... it may be easier for pirating it may not, but I can't buy legal games. (my parents are scared of online transactions).

Sell well? Maybe. Play Well? Doubt it. Well Received? ......

dude that looks so cool! i would so grab that only if it had the same power and graphics etc would be so awesome

>.> looks really really uncomfortable and with that said I'm content with my phat. If i had a choice between this or a dsi >.> dsi wins.

 

[DARKSHIDARA]

PSP vs. DSL- Fair

PSP Go! vs. DSi- Owned

Their gimmicks are worse than Nintendos.... They say touch screen is a "gimmick".... Ok the PSP is a graphic powerhouse. Cameras are "gimmicks" , so you make an extremely distorted design and yours isn't a "gimmick"? Sony needs to concentrate less on making new versions of the PSP.... they should focus on the next gen. They already have 3 versions, equal with DS.

This looks ridiculously uncomfortable to hold. The buttons are just too damn near each other. I foresee many finger and hand cramps playing this failure-of-a-design.

Poor weight distribution of the system on your hands, IMO. It's not as spaced out as the PSP.

Ugly ass design overall.

Don't get me wrong. I love Sony. I love my PSP. But this? This is just shit.

 

[Jackreyes]

The worst part is.. people will buy it, just like the DSi.
It pained me to see some kid trading in his PSP 2000, like 5-10 games and DS Lite for a DSi earlier this year, this is just going to be the same thing, but probably more expensive.
I think this equals the DSi in uselessness and maybe they should put more efforts into selling the consoles they already have, rather than making new ones that will sell just as few.

I found this somewhere, and I think it illustrates a fair point actually.

The mylo itself was little known, but it had a lot of PSP functionality EXCEPT for playing games.
Sony are that fucking lazy, they repackaged the Mylo as a new PSP. They knew UMD was a baaaaad format, and that everyone was downloading the games one way or another.

But removing the option of UMD and making it fugly? Sony do you ENJOY fucking up?
The button layout doesn't even look acceptable, this is the price you pay when you shoe-horn a system into another system.
Are they fucking masochists? I've seen very little positive response to this redesign so far.

 

[Armadillo]

. Just fail, looks really uncomfortable.

its not meant to compete with the DSi, the psp go will be released along side the current psp, its not going to replace it
if anything it took 3 revisions of the DS to finally (well somewhat) get most of the features of the regular PSP (multi-media, browser, and such)

 

[iPikachu]

ew.
*puke*
the speakers are smaller, the screen is smaller the buttons are WAAy too close, the alanog sticl looks like some rubber circle, and the start and select buttons are too big >_<

epic fail .-.

 

[Maz7006]

first dsi, and now this shit? give us a fuckin break

Damn right. Why on earth shoud someone take something that works completely fine, and well, and add some extra shit on it that doesn't even make a big difference.

Go home Sony, this is a failure

+1 DSi was not enough to justify a change from Lite to i (if you already own a Lite) like it was from Phat to Lite (that was what I call real improvement and not some kind of stupid relaunch-strategy). This new PSP IMO is at least smaller and lighter...
QUOTE(IBNobody @ May 31 2009, 02:11 AM) As far as how do you hold it...

It won't be much different than holding a DS.

I dont like the button-layout, too. I would say it is more between holding a DS (or original PSP) and a GBAsp! The SP was really something to get used to, because the buttons were so close.

Spoiler

And IMO the placement of the analogstick makes it theoretically useless. I`m asking myself how the guy on this picture will be able to use that analogstick without taking his thumb off! But that`s just theory and we`ll have to see for ourself if it`s really that bad.

I guess SONY has enough people to test their hardware before deciding to produce the thing. So maybe it`s not as bad as everybody thinks...

seriously sony mylo looks way better than Psp GO.


anyone know any information on the specs?
i know it has bluetooth and all the other shitty but i need to know the technical details

 

[fusion13]

IT pretty much has the same size as a DSi which i believe im wrong the DSi has a 3.25 screen
and the PSP GO has a 3.50 screen in which it's shrunken by a whole inch...
All tho that is something to bitch about the size of the screen is not at the top of my worries, i mean where the hell is all the face buttons im use to i always turn off my screen or like to use the music button... where the hell is the volume... im guessing that the home button on the top screen will just be a quick menu... not as quick as a button
Also whats the point of having a sliding screen if u can't use it while it's closed thats just adding insult to injury... unless u can and it really has a touch screen i mean come on they didn't show it and u can
i guess by looking why would the home botton be on the top screen if it wer not used when closed that would be crappy what could u do when it's closed well u can hit the home button then open it to select stuff

This is probably gonna get deleted cuz its so long...(is that possible) i should stop complaining bout this thing when i know i will buy it.

[Ferrariman]

Hence, this pretty much confirms the PS3 Slim

You're kidding me, right?

as far as i see it... not bad but comon it's not enuf
comon psp... ppl like handhelds becuz of how easy they are to use and tht they are piratable and ofcourse since they have good gameplay
one thing psp fools ppl with and i know many even here in tanzania, africa that prefer the psp but they have either not heard or care about the ds is due to the graphics... oh my what they are missing in comparison to the ds
though psp has good games like those by SE and possibly their strongest point is the abundance of soccer games and games like GoW
it has a nice design and like the DSi over the DSl, ppl will bash this one hard though it is fantastic and worth the get if u have not got the 3000 version and u dont hack just like nintendo handhelds (except the hacking part)

Sony is much better at keeping their systems safe from piracy than the simple ds-handhelds
