PSP-Go! Accessories Revealed

pspgoaccessories060409-580px

Whole line up of items.

Sony have recently showcased their PSP-Go — or PSP2 as many would have labeled it as — accessories. Of course, you can expect the standard fare of A\V wires, screen protectors, USB cables and some of the others, there’s actually a catch in getting PSP-Go.

While PSP-Go can stand for “mobility” in a sense, since it’s rather small, people have joked about it’s new name as “PSP Go buy new accessories”. I’m sure what this means for you guys. Yes, those who are intending to get the new PSP-Go will be left disappointed, as all the accessories that were previously compatible with the PSP-1000, 2000 or 3000 will not be compatible with the new PSP-Go.

Why? Because Sony decides to abolish the Mini-USB ports, and opts for another multifunction port, which is used for stuffs like data transfer as well as powering/charging the whole unit. While replacing one single USB cable is not that bad, the very fact that if you happen to think about getting the PSP-Go and wants some accessories such as A\V cables to go along with it, you’ll need to get whole new cables just because the PSP-Go doesn’t support the old cables.

On other news though, everyone should know that the PSP-Go will feature no UMD drives. This would mean that those people whom have previously bought UMDs will not be able to use them in the PSP-Go, and of course this raised a lot of concerns about what will happen to the games that they have bought. Sony is actually in the process of sorting out all of these, and may introduce a trade-in program for all the games that you’ve bought. This, however, have not been revealed much by Sony at all.

While PSP-Go is a definite improvement over the original PSP, it seems that it has bought a lot more problems than actually solving it…

    As I’ve remembered, the PSPGo would be UMD-less.

    Yes, it’s right that the PSP UMD’s games would be compatible, but it seems that it would be in a form of compensation (like a downloadable game of your UMD’s game) instead of a physical UMD in your PSPGo.

    However, I cannot rule out whatever you’ve said is not true. Please do tip us off if you’ve got any news you would like to share!

    And yes, the PSPGo is not going to replace the PSP. PSPGo looks like it’s more portable version of the PSP.

    actually all the UMD drives that were on your old psp will be compatable on the psp go. they released saying that you can get them onto the psp go. check other sites for this game console… besides the cables come with the psp go when you buy them… and any other things you’d have to rebuy. However it is not outdating the psp, they will still continue updating the psp as well… think of it as not the psp2 but the next new thing from playstation… i’m sure they’ll release another psp like the older ones too.
