I knew Sony bigwig Kaz Hirai had something up his sleeve when he showed up on stage at the Sony press conference this morning. But it was in his pocket. And out of this mismatched jacket of his came a PSP Go, in either a silver or white. I don't care what color it was, though. I need it.
You'll see that in the video above, as well as hear all the details on Sony's newest console, set to drop on October 1st. It was that 3D render spinning around that sold me. This system is so much more sexy than the leaked photos were.
Above, you'll also see and hear details on the services and software supporting the PSP Go.
After seeing this, I was almost totally sold on the PSP Go. I did a 178, and not a 180. That was until later today, when I got some hands-on time with the system. Now I'm a full convert. More on that soon.

I told you mofos the PSP GO was fine! I'm gonna be all over that shit when it comes out.
Couldn't agree more. Altough white model looks much better then black one.
Getting a 3000...if i manage to scrape up enough for a PSP. Can't deal with all this digital downloads when I don't have digital money.
They need to make a console that accepts paper money for digital purchases.
Quite frankly, the things you said in the PSP No! video pissed me off a little bit as well, so I'm glad you're coming around.
Okay.
I'm halting all observations of E3 news until I get an answer to this.
What the fuck is "Hoof" supposed to mean? I mean seriously. I grew up reading logical english, I read some of the chan shit, but I came to the press things expecting to read announcements via Dtoid, and instead I read each press release trying to interpret what the fuck "hoof" is supposed to mean in context of what you're trying to tell me.
I appreciate a good giggle or two when relaying me news, but I also like to KNOW what's being said. I could've just gone straight to Famitsu's website and come away with equal understanding of what was said at that point.
16 gig internal flash

16 gig card

32 gigs of pure rediculous. Can't wait!
Of course, thats because my memory stick is full of NOT emulation related things... so since the Go! will surely have the latest and greatest Sony Anti-homebrew/fun System this is unfortunately a no-go for me. But back on point, even the few PSP games I own have been downloaded. Heck, they load faster.
One thing I have to wonder: How good will the external sound quality be with that teeny little speaker in the top left?
;)
I think term came from the deformed feets of the popular internet pornstar Kate from Kate's Playground.
And honestly, wooting at a presser? I may be a fickle old man now, but I've been to three E3's worth of pressers, and this year's attitudes from the "press" have been utterly depressing.
God, I'm a bastard. Sorry, it's been a busy, bad week.
With that you can not only buy games online, but also play UMD games...oh and homebrew for that matter
But i need the new edition of the one game I play, I need it on launch on the 26th june. But i want a PSPGo on the 1st October and don't want to have to buy the game twice!!
Hmmm, decisions decisions.
i think for now I'll sign up for continuous play, get my PSP replaced, then buy MHFU when it comes out and worry about the PSPGO later.
well up for a more comfortable PSP though.
although chumps bought the DSi i suppose..
They mentioned nothing about back-compatability with games you already have. He went on about future games having like a code or something that you use to download the game onto your Go, but... What about the games I already have? Am I forced to keep my 2000? Do I have to rebuy them? What Sony, let me know here!
