CVG surmises that it could plug into left memory stick slot.
Looks much like Datel’s unofficial hard drive add-on for original PSP unit.

Seems like if this happens the Mercury exploit will be usefull after all.

Too bad thier pants are gonna get sued off. I wouldnt mind buying one of those though, especially if you could somehow "Dump" your own UMD's directly on your GO.

Ya, if an exploit needs a game chances are Sony would Pull it from PSN or patch it. Or the game would make you update, patching the exploit anyways. But a UMD drive could let you get the Game on UMD without updating...

Also,

Yesterday a rumor appeared that claimed that Logitech was working with an external reader for the PSP UMD Go!, After inquiry that Logitech are not doing.

"This is not something we are doing is Logitech's response. Short and concise. They are not doing. Whether in the future UMD reader is an external appearance is not certain, but chances are terribly small.

Myth is busted. Oh yes, it is difficult to make a presentation of it. Sony are increasingly focused on online games distrubitie, and Logitech will suddenly come with a UMD reader for the PSP model is completely focused on the Playstation Network ...
