Stepping Off the Go Train
thefil \| 2:03 AM on 09.24.2009	5 comments

My relationship with the PSP Go has been a tumultuous one. Since it's announcement, I have gone through several phases:

1. That thing is ugly as sin
2. That thing looks sex
3. I love digital downloads
4. I'm worried about how Sony will handle digital downloads
5. I need a new PSP, Go Go Go
6. I'm worried about how Sony will handle digital download, maybe I won't get one
7. I trust international corporations to be fair, I'll get one

Tonight was the straw that broke the camel's back. Was it the fact that Sony has no UMD-to-DD transfer program? No. Was it the fact that I'm worried about owning my digital games in ten years? No. Was it the fact that the PSP Go looks like a bitch to hold? ...Well, kind of.

But ultimately, the reason I decided to skip the Go? This right here. Regardless of how "ready" I am for DD, how I support it 100% on Steam and PSN and XBLA, when it comes to fucking Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, etc, I want my game on a disk.

Now I hope my new PSP will display Disgaea and Persona alright.

P.S. The Peace Walker demo looks gorgeous and has controls to match. I am so EXCITE.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I also want my game on disc. But I want to have all my games on my PSP as well. That's why I'm getting a PSPGo as well. And of course I will keep my fat one too.

There's absolutely nothing the 3000 can't do that the Go can. You want to download games? That's fine, just put them on the Stick. I myself bought Persona as a disc, and I couldn't be happier.

Also, I'm glad you like the Peace Walker demo -- I think the controls are ass.

There are actually two things the 3000 can't do.

1) Utilize a special sleep feature that saves the game state so you can use the XMB while playing. This is not the same as the PSP 1000-3000 sleep feature, which the Go also has.

2) Bluetooth.

I might use the first occasionally, but never the second.

For my consoles I still usually prefer to have a physical disc for my games but I'm all for digital downloads on my handhelds. It's such a pain to have to carry extra games in case you feel like playing something else. Plus I can't find my copy of Clubhouse Games anymore >:@
