PSPGo.jpg

The PSPgo, The first thing you will notice is how small it is, in fact I know I will hear all of you say "(BLEEPING) HELL look how small it is" when you open your boxes and hold it, it's just a bit bigger than the I-Phone. It now has a slide screen which conceals the D-pad buttons, analogue stick and other buttons, the brightness and volume buttons are now across the top between the L and R buttons and the USB slot and battery charge slot and cable have now been combined into one, now called a Multi-use connector. When you turn it on not much is different, the systems setting and functions are all in the same layout, the only thing you'll see sticking out of place is the new Blue Tooth settings which work just like your phone... NO IT'S NOT A PHONE NOW lol but you will be able to use Blue tooth headsets for Skype. You get a big, whopping 16Gig hard drive built in too for all your PSP needs and still has a slot for a memory stick micro. With no UMD drive you'll have to download games from the PlayStation Network but you'll get a Media Go software disc to assist in your file transfers, everything from games, mp3's, movies and photo's.

Now when playing games on the PSPgo you will notice that you wont be able to certain games like you used to because of how small it is now, it seems the more vigorous you are with the buttons e.g. while playing a fighting game, the more it digs into the side of your hands also using the Analog stick might seem like a bit of a stretch because it's been moved slightly from the bottom of the D-pad to the right of them and has been reduced in size. It does fit real nicely inside your pockets then the previous PSP's, the PSP3000 seems to move around a lot and bulge out when in jean pockets and the PSPgo seems to vanish lol.

All in all its the PSP just smaller.... again! But is it worth the £200+ pound asking price????..... well for PSP3000 users yes and no, if you want a smaller, more compact PSP and don't want to carry your games around you will be tempted but PSP3000 users who don't want one will be just fine, UMD's will still be sold worldwide. It's all about your preference really. Full Review to come people!!!
