PSP Is Go!

This shit looks awesome!! I might actually get it!

Oh please! Why does Sony keep trying!? They know DS is more popular, advanced, and better. I hope that rumor of Microsoft buying out Sony comes true.

Really Microsoft buying out one of the biggest electronic companies in the world? Where have I been? Oh thats right, I've been on planet Earth, not bizzaro world.

it's a rumor! WOW it doesn't mean it's going to happen. I just heard it on a different website that's all.

The controller seems a little too close together for comfort. But then again, I'm getting used to this kind of scale now from the DS and my laptop. (Heck, I can barely use a full size keyboard anymore).
My only concern is that I will scratch the screen to death.

ps. I heard it also sports longer battery life than the other PSPs.

To the people complaining about a lack of a second nub, as Seraph said, having another one would be a nice convenience and personally, I would love one, but the Go is merely a design upgrade, it's still going to play the same exact games as the other designs did, if another nub was added, all action games on the PSP would have to re-design their controller layout to try and use the damn thing to satisfy all the fans asking for it.

I have one single question: where in the world is the second analog stick!?

Did the N64 need one? NO. Must I repeat what I just said a few posts up.
*point's to previous post*
It's not up for debate, people just gotta deal with it. Not once have I nor anyone I know ever had trouble with this "design flaw"

I really hope that you understand that theres a difference between super mario 64 and ratchet and clank for the psp. Obviously the game was bad due to a lack of bad camera controls because guess what! there was no right analog stick! plus supermario 64 used the yellow "c" buttons to control the camera. does the psp have that? no it doesnt. It NEEDS a second analog stick and it IS a design flaw. and you have a problem with the people who want a second analog stick then get over it 'cause there's a LOT of us.

It WILL have longer battery life because it has no UMD drive hence eliminating one of the 2 biggest power hogs on the system. The other is obviously the screen unless they somehow managed to work around that. I actually expect close to double the battery life with this model since it's all solid state now instead of having internal moving parts.

Eugh! That thing is so aesthetically unpleasing--all the unused space they have on the bottom makes it look unfinished and empty.

I have zero urge at all to replace my 2000-series PSP with that thing.

It's certainly not going to make the PSP any more popular, but it'll certainly look nice trying. Too little too late in my opinion. I'll stick with my DS.

 

[Sewer Rat]

OH GOD MY EYES! *runs to emergency eyewash station*... I'm sorry, that thing is so damn ugly that it burned my eyes just to look at it.

You'd think they'd have realized that everyone wanted a second analogue stick - then I would have bought it - as it stands its just a rehash of my current PSP. I just want a portable games console I can play JRPG's on - is that to much to ask?

I guess I better buy a DS lite...when the price drops...

 

[-Seraph-]

Its also very racist

erm...excuse my stupidity but...hows it racist? Sorry I never payed that much attention to the game since all I played was the demo.

I don't believe that Sony will release anything this ugly and expect us to buy it.... I mean really? All fan concepts for new DS/PSP/PSP2 were better than this.

All fan concpets for the PSP2 thing looked near identical.

Spoiler

It's a handheld that is roughly as powerful, if not more (in theory), as a PS1. 3D Action games can happen for it, and it doesn't look like they aren't going to stop trying. Granted you do not play said titles, but that's subjective.

Being "theoretically" as powerful doesn't mean anything, there are hardly any real 3D action titles on any handheld whatsoever. Most people play handhelds for a pick up and play puzzler or RPG or something, much more often then to play a 3D action adventure game at least.

Ok let me try a different approach.

Number of consoles with two analog sticks in 1996: zero
Number of consoles with two analog sticks in 2009: six (counting all that have existed to date)

One of those six is the PS1, post-introduction of the dual shock controller. What is the PSP? A handheld with roughly the PS1's power. Do you see why people are expecting two analog sticks now?

Number of handhelds with two analog sticks in 1996: zero
Number of handhelds with two analog sticks in 2009: zero

The DS seems to handle no analog gameplay just fine, albiet with the added accessory of the touch screen, just no analog gameplay fine nonetheless. I don't see the huge gripe for the PSP to have a second one if the DS handles none just fine. Granted, two analogs are better than one, but there's really now HUMONGOUS point to having a second analog stick, at least right now.

But will it blend?

Uh, unless I'm missing something here, can't you already do that regardless of if it has a second nub or not?

^^Win. You deserve a cookie.

The PSP is Go, eh? I think you misspelt 'useless'.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

I must be some kind of inbred freak of nature because I think this looks nice.

The points are not connected, but rather a rambling chain of thoughts. I would have liked a second analouge stick because I find controlling the camera awquad and painful after long playtimes.I would also like some decent games to play - don't give me all this "you have such and such on the system" because I'm exclaiming that I don't like the games on it at this momment - I own Daxter, Virtua Tennis 08, LocoRoco and a few others I never play. Theres just no longer lasting games that appeal to me on the system.
