Sony loves Firmware so much that it's rolling out a brand new update just in time for the launch of the PSPgo. Never mind the fact that v6.00 was released only a couple of weeks ago, here comes v6.10! I think I've updated the Firmware more than I've actually played videogames on the system, but there you go.
In fairness, the new update actually does something, unlike the last one. In preparation for the PSPgo's new abilities, Bluetooth tethering will be the centerpiece of this Firmware. Media Go will also be getting updated with a fresh look and it'll be joined by SensMe, a program that "uses Sony’s proprietary 12 Tone Analysis technology to evaluate music tracks that have been imported from Media Go application on your PC to your PSP."
So, lots of PSP stuff happening tomorrow. This all begs the question: Who among you will actually be buying a PSPgo on October 1?

Anyway, my PSP 1000 bit the dust last week, but the lack of some kind of conversion tool for UMDs is a dealbreaker for me. I'm thinking I might just get a preowned 3000 at this point. Hopefully there will be more around with the release of the Go.
Congratulations you have a PSPgo !
But you can play Lumines, Final Fantasy I and II, Metal Gear Solid PO, Breath of Fire III the list goes on and on.

[My fingers started to eat some of the words]
The size of the PSPGo is attractive to me, and I really don't care about my old UMDs since I still have my old PSPs, but I'm not convinced spending ~$200 (or $250 without the Dell deal) is really worth the smaller form-factor. Which is also how I felt about the DSi- a new iteration that wasn't worth the upgrade. But knowing me, I'll probably cave in later.
The machine is very shiny and nice to say the least.
Update 6.10 now installing, although WHERE IS GT FOR FREE SONY......gah update the store already.
Aus get's the machine already since it's OCT 1 but do we have to wait till USA OCT 1 so GT is on there...........i hope not haha
You are a rich, guillible, easily peruaded consumer. I bet your local game store loves you.
LOL nah i just have to have all new machines, i collect them and yeh i kinda was able to.....
I traded some recent games i finished and got 200 for them, which made the GO 198..... AUD so yeh not too bad.
Nah only PSPgo has BT built in, the rest don't have that and can't unless there's a buyable add-on they're making (doubtful).
As for the headset thing, nah not yet, it's mainly for internet teathering from a mobile phone atm.
No way I'd buy a PSPGo. Nothing legit to play on it that isn't insanely over-priced. Sony needs to realize that no one wants to pay $40 for a portable game, especially a digital download copy that they can't sell or even chuck out a window when they're pissed at the stupid analog nub for sucking but not quite upset enough to throw a $180-250 system.
Only just today (well, yesterday if you're being specific), did the people behind the GEN custom firmware find a way past 5.55/6.00 only games. Then, all of the sudden, this comes in. If this happens to block future games as well, I'm just going to keep laughing it up.
