PsP Go: An awesome System or A total Rip?

The new hacks only focus on 5.03.

So..not yet...I know people who can do it on a go..however it's a real mess of a job...not something I could do



And you forgot the stick spacing...I HATE HOW FAR MY THUMB HAS TO GO!


..And downloading games is a pain, I have masses of games, and for the "normal" people the go sucks...


Us people might be ok, not them.

 

i'm glad someone posted this topic.

the psp-go proves one of many things. the one big thing that it should be clear to see is that the idea of digital distribution isn't the right way to go. the low sales of the handheld system proves that people don't want it. remember there was an uproar by retailers that they don't want to sell the handheld system because it's a digital download service product. how do you sell this sort of product to people if there is no immediate software for sale with the purchase of the unit? if one were to buy a ds or a psp 3000, they are able to buy software immediately in the store and playing them immediately. with the psp-go, such a thing doesn't exist.

second function, ownership. buying a product has full ownership as opposed to downloading them. if you buy a bad game, then you sell it to someone else or you sell it to gamestop for partial credit or for returned lost. you can lend your games to friends or give them away for free like what i do with pc games and i'm sure people are happy with that. i and other people wouldn't be able to do so if i wasn't the owners of those games.

the idea of creating a media drive proves that the psp-go is a failure. this should stamp that digital download is a no go. but of course the industry doesn't care.

you need to ask the question as what reggie has said, "what's in it for me?" and as a consumer, there is nothing in the psp-go for me.

i'm waiting for that dsi xl or the one with the 4.2" screen. man is it going to make playing games on these handhelds a lot easier on the eyes.

 

Everything we buy has a rip off, but in this case, they should lessen it by $50, a guess t shirt was sold by P3000 but in the sale it was P1000, man, it was really new and a total rip off.

 

It Is hackable . and 32gb of memery would be amazing... 8gb of MAME games 1Gb of every attari game from 2600-7800 , 4gb of GBA games, like 300mb for every gb/gbc game, 2gb for SNES, 200mb for NES, Like 4gb for the sega systems?... oh and 8gb for N64... And still have enough for a few movies and psp isos... I would eat my face for that.

I think it's a rip off, there not relesing some games for it because there afraid of people stealing them... and they are going to sell a umd reader thing somtime soon... So it's a nother thing the go users will have to buy...

 

PSN network is a load of balls.

 

... just go with the normal psp, it has a memory slot and carrying memsticks with you isn't much of a hassel, and it plays umd discs

 

I like my Psp Go more than my fat, purely because I can watch movies in full HDTV and it can fit into my jeans pocket. I <3 Jeans.

 

FUll HD?

WTF?

I see no difference...between that and my slim other than the go has a smaller screen which may make games look better because it's compressed

 

Your movie HAS to be a HD quality movie for you to be able to notice mate.

 

I watched movies on my iPod nano and it looks really clear due to the Small screen xD so maybe that's why PSP Go has better looking videos

 

HD doesn't turn me on to wanting a PSPGO still.. not until it's fully hackable or able to play .iso/cso's

 

No the PSP Go supports 16:9 but all the others only support 4:3

 

Still I rather get myself a HD portable video player =)

 

...My psp supports 16:9 after conversion.


Conversion programs rock!

 

yeah, i can watch it in that too.

i don't see why it wouldn't be able to. I watched the Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou in 16:9....because i converted it to that.

and mine's a psp slim........OH yeah! hypnos...my psp 2000 motherboard is the TA88 v1.....that was close....o-O

 

But is it in 1080p?

 

I have a DSi. It isn't exactly a total rip, it has okay games like FlipNote Studio. It has a cheapass camera with photoshop. It also has a decent music player for people without an iPod, and a cheapass sound editor. Hey, I got it for two dollars, why do I care?

Back on the PSP Go...


The only way I will EVER EVER EVER buy it, is if it gets hacked, and the price drops. And if it supports UMDs. I can see that happening... But then it will be uber expensive, bulkier, and what's the point? Just get a normal PSP.

 

psp go is stupid because you cant transfer the games you alrdy had im not rebuying monster hunter freedom unite..
but then again think about if you could transfer your games their would more piracy mabye for people with ofw(official firmware)

 

lulz, the game that i just got which is annoying the hell out of me...

for me, it's awesome. for the price, not so much.
I'd prefer digital copies, much easier to carry + you have multiple games to choose from right from the memory stick.
I do like hard copies buutttttt... i can't exactly carry those things when i want to play something different on-the-go + i'd probably break one or two... or three of them while i'm out....
it stands between A and B.
