Will You PSP Go?

The June issue of Qore was leaked early and contains a promotional video for the new PSP Go. We’ve been salivating over the PSP since before it was released and could hardly wait to see what Sony had in store for this latest hardware revision: What the PSP Go! has 3.8-inch display 43 percent lighter (than PSP-3000) 16GB of Flash storage Memory Stick Micro slot Bluetooth PlayStation Network support (movie and TV rentals / purchases) PS3 Integration Sorry, but color us unimpressed. We feel that Sony needs to step it up a notch; here is a small list of what the PSP Go is lacking that its competitors already have: What the PSP Go! does not have Touchscreen Camera GPS TV tuner HD FM or FM radio tuner Does the PSP Go need a camera, a touchscreen, or a built-in GPS? The iPhone and DSi both have built-in cameras and innovative software to make extra use of them, and the Zune has had a built-in FM tuner from the “get go.” Seeing that Sony has already developed some of these great PSP accessories already we’re not sure why they aren’t packing them into the new PSP Go. The PSP “must live on” due to Sony’s 10 year product cycle, and the original PSP was released in 2005. (Ten years is a long time to eek out of a handheld device, we’re really, REALLY hoping this doesn’t mean we have to wait until 2015 for the PSPtew.
