PSPNoGo

It reminds me of the Gameboy Micro. That didn't last long.

Still better than the Virtual Boy though.

Lol! I'm going to go look that up. (I have never heard of it)

I've got a link here [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/angry-video-screwattack/30755] if you want it.

See there isn't a problem with making a handheld for core gamers, their is a problem with making a handheld for core gamers and marketing it against something which aims to be popular and trendy like the iPhone.

I think that today there is a problem with making a handheld for pro gamers. And the problem is that more and more pro gamers and others have access to a hand held gaming device where lots of good and bad games are available - the mobile phone (not only the iPhone). Virtually every mobile phone has the option to play games, organize dates, surf on the internet (more or less), etc. Additionally there are the netbooks where you have lots of old PC games available, often for a cheap price.
I think the number people that buy a handheld for gaming are dwindling, just because there are more and more other options available. And even hardcore gamers don't buy a handheld for a special game. They would do it with a console, but not with a handheld.

I see this announcement as a mind trick - they don't have the best, but they have the newest. My guess is that it won't help them gain market dominance.

Sony however, is being retarded. They've only just released a second revision, and they already announce a third.

Wrong. PSP GO would be the 4th revision (1000 Series, 2000 Series, 3000 Series and now the PSP GO)

You're dumb.
The 2000 series is the first REvision. REvision. REvision. REvision. Got it?

1. Yes you can get more apps on iTunes for your less money. But what about quality? Do you get a Chains of Olympus like quality game for 0.99 USD or even 5 USD? I doubt it. So please don't put games like Patapon on the same level as Doodle Jump or Peggle.

2. Have you ever considered that the price is because of a bigger margin for the retail? You have to give the retail a reason to sell the PSPgo! As much as I remember the retail nor the music industry were happy when music turned digital. Do you think they are happy about the PSPgo?

But don't worry it seams that the PSPgo is getting it's own "appstore". Oh and last time I checked the PSPgo or its appstore aren't even out, so how about waiting with critique?

Depending on how accurate this is, I think this article addresses everything this one says. I'm hoping this won't be drowned in the comments.

You are correct, according to Destructiod [http://www.destructoid.com/rumor-sony-to-unveil-pspgo-apps-small-games-at-gamescom-135846.phtml] they'll be selling non-games ranging from free to 6 dollars or so.

Seems interesting, though I'd like to know more.

Well, I hope they make their appstore available to everyone. If they do it could turn into a indie-paradise.

If this rumour turns out to be true, I think we can call the PSP a Go now, according to the articlist.

I agree and I believe the production of the 3000 could end this year.

Well, Sony have stated that they're not going to discontinue the 3000 model and continue to support both of them.

If the PSP app store turns out to be true, and if it does get proper support and interesting games, then the PSP Go is a definite buy for me.

You're dumb.
The 2000 series is the first REvision. REvision. REvision. REvision. Got it?

No, but you are a retard got it? Anything after the first ever test model counts as a Revision, so the 1K Series is the first revision of the handheld that was released. PSP GO would be the 4th released revision.

Can you even count?
Was there a PSP-0000? No. The PSP-1000 was the first version that was released. Anything after that is a REvision.

Just like the GBA had 2 revisions, the GBA SP and the GB Micro.
Unless you mean to imply that the GB and GBC were earlier versions of the GBA (even though they're from different console generations). And even then you're wrong, because the PSP-1000 was the first handheld Sony ever released.

Well, technically it was the Pocket Station [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_station] but I see your point.

Can you even read? A revision is anything after the very first model, that model does not have to be released to the public, The PSP 1K series are the second revision, but the First PSP to be released.

Example if DNF ever appears it will be on at lest its 2rd revision, just because the other 2 prior were not released publicly it does not mean they do not count.

ill buy it if i can hack it and play old snes roms on it.

doubtful, the whole point of doing an Apple style online store only is to lock the hardware down, take the iPhone, if you jailbreak it and log on to the App store after a new update comes out, you get a facefull of crap. And you then have to start all over again.

Also!, i'm favouritising Sean Sands, his articles are great fun to read!
