Sony PSP GO was launched this month and compared with the earlier edition it looks good feels good and could even sell good, the new PSP GO has a slide out control which makes the entire console stylish and even more portable than its predecessor, the whole thing is much more thinner, sleeker and compact.

It is also lighter compared with PSP 3000 but something has been compromised to get a performance and in this case the screen size has being slightly reduced.

New PSP GO

PSP go supports Bluetooth connectivity which can also be used as a headset for making calls via Skype which is already inbuilt. The Bluetooth compatibility is one of the newest feature which is introduced for the PSP family .

Drawback of PSP GO

The Drawback of PSP GO console is that the traditional UMD drive is not available for the new console. Yeah Sony did not want to continue with the inclusion of UMD drives in their new portable gaming machine .this is a disappointment for the owners of the older versions of PSP’s as the UMD disks which they own has no use anymore for the new PSP GO.

Because there is no UMD driver, games in PSP GO can only be storage in a 16 GB flash drive and on a M2 memory stick. That means users cannot buy a regular video game from any gamming stores but to buy them online from the Sony PlayStation website. This is a major problem for the Sony as the download speed must be faster than usual, obviously the net traffic would increase because thousands of users might be online buying games 24X7.

Portable and Lighter than before

PlayStation has informed that they would add more games and video content for buying in the next few months exclusively for PSP GO users.

The good news is PSP 3000 will be still manufactured if you want to still use the UMD disks console. But all the content for the PSP GO is digital and can only be downloaded or transferred VIA USB connectivity Whatever it might be from games to movies and TV programs. And the USB connectivity cable for connecting the PSP to a PC has been changed so that the user cannot use a regular USB cable to transfer data.

Sense Me Feature

There is no big change in the display of the new gaming device nor there no change in the graphical performance of the games itself. Everything is the same about the new PSP GO when compared with its predecessor apart from the slide out control and the new Bluetooth capabilities the PSP music features has also be changed it has a new auto play feature called “sense me” .The release of the gaming device comes at right time when the holiday season is couple months away. But it has to be said that the newer UMD less console might take time to get used to it.
