Sony PSP Go 16GB Handheld System

PSP Go

The PSP Go is byfar one of the most inovative techno gagets on the market today. Sony has taken the there origional PSP and completely redesigned it into a smaller more mobile gaming device while keeping best features of the origional. My favorite feature of the PSP Go is that it no longer requires the use of UMDs. Instead of having to carry around numberous amounds of games and movies, everything can now be downloaded directly to the PSP G0s internal flash memory. Also it now uses the smaller m2 memory cards instead of the pro duo memory cards. A minor change but a nice one at that. The PSP Gos memory can also be doubled! It comes with 16gb internal flash and is currently able to hold up to 16gb more with a m2 card giving you a whopping 32gb of memory, which will be necessary with the memory consumption of the downloadable games and movies. Another feature, one that im a little sad about, is that the screen is half and inch smaller. It not bad, the resolution stays the same but it takes a little bit of time to get used to if your used to the origional PSP. No more battery level percentage indicator. Now i dont know if its just me, but i think the graphics are just a little bit better than the origionals. It may just look like they are because the screen is smaller but im not sure. They do look better though. The usb has also changed, instead of using the standard mini usb slot it now uses a its own PSP adaptor. Personally i think this is a bit of a downer, i own many usb mini usb cables and now im reduced to using just the one that came with the PSP unless i go buy another, its ok as long as i dont ever forget my cable or just plain lose it. Bluetooth, yep the PSP Go now uses bluetooth. For all of you who know what it is, it opens up a small new way to interact with your PS3 and other object. The bluetooth also enables you to connect a PS3 controller to your PSP so that you can stand up ur PSP and use the controller instead. This is nice because the PS3 controller is bigger and better for people with bigger hands. Which leads me to.... The controles are alot closer together which is a bit rough for the gamers with larger hands. It takes time to get used to, and hand cramps are more frequent but its not bad. All in all the PSP Go is a great system. Sleek design meets universal functionality. Only flaw is the cramped controls. If you dont already own a PSP then you may consider the Go, if you are a current owner of a origional PSP and its the 2000 or 3000 version then upgrading isnt really necessary. Keep in mind this is all in my OWN personal opinion is and is not to be reflected onto anyone else.
