Sony’s New PSP GO

Sony has just recently added a new addition to their new handheld video game consoles the PSP GO. It was released just recently last October 1, 2009 in American and European countries and a scheduled November 1, release in Japan. The PSP GO’s was revealed last E3 2009 through Sony’s Qore VOD service. The PSP GO’s has undergone some unique changes, significantly different from those of its predecessors. The PSP GO is not intended to substitute or replace the PSP-3000 models since Sony will still continue to sell, manufacture and support the current system.

The new PSP GO has been physically redesigned from top to bottom. Just by looking at it you can already see the difference in terms of physical appearance. Unlike the other previous PSP models the PSP GO has dropped the idea of using UMD discs instead it now packs a huge 16GB internal flash memory to store games, video, pictures and other sort of media. It can also be extended up to 32GB of memory using Sony’s Memory Stick Micro (M2). Unlike the previous PSP models the PSP GO’s rechargeable battery is not replaceable or removable by the user.

Technically the PSP GO has been shrunk down to the very bottom. It is now 42% lighter and 55% smaller than the original PSP-1000 and 34% smaller and 15% lighter compared to the PSP-3000 models. The PSP GO sports in a 3.8” 480×272 LCD compared to its older brothers to the much larger 4.3” 480×272 pixels LCD. The main controls of the system are tucked in and hidden from view. But sliding it upwards reveals the main controls underneath the system.

The PSP GO also has some additional features which includes a Bluetooth technology and built-in wi-fi connectivity rather than the standard USB A-to-Mini B cable most commonly found in electronic devices. With the addition of Bluetooth connectiviy the PSP GO can also be paired up with the PS3 and other Bluetooth devices.
