Before we’re inundated with Apple news—not that there’s anything wrong with that—there’s still a few other issues to address. First on my docket this morning: did you know that the PSP Go!, Sony’s updated, senselessly expensive PSP, will require all new accessories? Oh, it’s true. It’s damn true.
Unlike the PSP-3000 (the old PSP), the PSP Go! doesn’t have a mini USB port. Rather, it has a “new, multifunction” port. Connecting the dots, that means you won’t be able to use your current PSP accessories on the new one.
Of course, I suppose there’s nothing stopping some company, or someone handy, from forging their own mini USB-to-NewPort adapter. And, if Sony were feeling generous, it could provide that very adaptor. (Unless there’s some electrical reason why a mere adaptor wouldn’t work!)
In any event, by the looks of it, that means, right now, be prepared to re-purchase that PSP camera, that cheap-o USB headset, etc.
Really, $250 for this thing? It was $250 four years ago. Sony: always thinkin’.
Come on now – did anyone really purchase any accessories for the PSP? Beyond a memory stick?? I don’t believe it.
And people call *me* cynical! (Even though you’re probably right.)
I love my PSP, and I still play it regularly. Bought a game for it last week, actually. And I can’t begin to process why anyone would buy an accessory for the thing. A camera – really? Because there aren’t enough of those around already.
I have no problem with Sony building these accessories – I actually think it a good thing – why *not* offer those additional ways to use the PSP. I’m just surprised anyone actually invests in those peripherals.
Good old Nicholas, always leading the Anti-Sony Bandwagon.
Again, I don’t own any Sony stock; I don’t have any stock at all! Whether it, or any other company, does well or not is completely immaterial to me.
But y’all can believe what you want. Fine by me.
Its okay, just ignore the idiots. The internet is full of them. People with half a brain will dismiss haterade comments instinctively.
I’ll probably stick with the Original PSP anyways. This new model… kind of sucks. Why pay more for less? I don’t see any reason why anyone would buy this over the older version. Any serious reason anyways.
