Would you imagine this is what the cellphone tethering is for? To allow people to download content using their cell phones instead of an Internet router?
On a personal note, if the new downloadable PSP games also work on a PSP 2000, I will not upgrade, instead opting for a 16 gb memory stick. I don't think there's much value for my money here, as I will lose support for UMDs I have already purchased. If the new games work on both, there's no point, and I don't think Bluetooth support is enough of a reason to buy one, especially with the smaller LCD display.
I've already watched the quore bit on youtube and koller talks about smaller games in go and both in stores for awile but psp has gone go and whether we like it or not that's the future for psp.
Really disappointed they're even using mem stick micro so that mem stick pro duo is now garbage.
Not sure how or if they'll allow you to import umd games and saves....wait and see.
Plus, I believe the target audience includes the iPhone audience. If those people are smart enough to operate and jailbreak an iPhone, I don't see the PSP as being a problem.
And I agree 16 Gb is SO lame. It is sort of acceptable on the iPhone because apps/music are not the main function but for a content based platform it is ridiculously low in this day and age.
another format for developers to avoid? This is the same PSP platform it used to be with UMD (something you developers didn't like).
PS to all: please consider this is not PSP2!
How do you know? Was the Sony E3 presentation already?
How do we know what solution Sony has for the UMD users?
Sorry but this is all is so unneccesary, all this rambling about what... a leak?
How about waiting with critics after everything is officially out?
No there wasn't, a presentation already, that's true, every thing we say (what you say and what I say) is based on rumours, that is true. But if these rumours are true, then this device will have serious problems. 16 GB Flash Memory sounds impressive unless you see that a single UMD can handle 1.2 GB Data. If the 16GB are the capacity of the console, then there won't be a solution to transfer your UMDs to the PSP. This means this PSP is only a PSP light, mainly aimed at the portable player market with downloadable PS1 games and PSN exclusives, which will be mainly small casual games like the ones for the Iphone. I really don't see a market for such a console.
Assuming they have a way to transfer current UMD titles to this thing, I can see this working well. One of my problems now is I don't like carrying around UMDs so I can swap titles (and I don't believe in cracking my PSP so I can use ISOs). I personally look forward to hearing more about this device.
Can't remember exactly where I heard the rumor, but it has not been mentioned since then.
On the other hand, maybe some people will stay away from it exactly by this same reason. Only time will tell.
I've never owned a PSP but I have owned an Atari Lynx with close to a 100 games and currently own a DS with 8 games. I really dislike keeping up with game cartridges when I travel. So if the GO allows me to be able to have about 10 games or so with me... It might just win me over.
@Tom: No, and they're not going to add another joystick. The PSP market is already too small to want to split them into those with 2 sticks and those without.
This is not a new platform as It will be able to play all PSP games and I'm willing to bet the old PSPs will be able to play the download only games. This is why (sadly) Sony couldn't add a second joystick.
@Michael Pulst: Its not piracy if you have purchased the game. What you buy is a license to play it, not the information on the disc. If you have legitimately purchased a license then go ahead and get digital copies of all your UMD games.
