PSP Go

Posted by Misconstruct on Dec. 10, 2010, 3:30 a.m.

After many months of sparse use, I've finally rediscovered the joy of PSP.

I initially bought the PSP Go shortly after graduating boot camp, before I had any other fun electronic toys. I put the galley's wifi to use, downloading Gran Turismo, Jeanne d'Arc and a couple other small games.

But then I bought a laptop. And a Zune HD. And a PS3. And a TV. And an Xbox 360. And a DS Lite. And another TV.

My PSP Go quickly got forgotten. Then last weekend, I saw a friend playing with his. And it made me remember just how great the device is. So I've been downloading games and demos, and falling in love with the thing all over again.

It's a shame Sony didn't support the device better, it could've been much greater. The thing is so gorgeous, and it's much more convenient having 16 GB internal memory than having to carry UMDs around or having to buy memory sticks.

If it were released at $200 instead of $250, it would've done much better sales-wise. And then maybe Sony would've been willing to put in the effort to make sure the catalog of downloadable software was more robust. And then PSP Go would've been a winner.

Oh well. There's still a lot of good games available for it, and I'm having a lot of fun.

I refuse to cash out for another potable playstation until PSP2.

(Though I have to say that the PSP go is slick)

I have Psp go. I bought alot of games like a little psp whore, until sadly I realized that the games weren't worth it. They cost too much and most of the games had little to no replay value after you beat them, most of the games don't have online multiplayer either, but when they do, no one plays the games online.

Even GTA: Chinatown Wars never has anyone playing online on it for god's sake, and it's a shame.

The only games I see people play online is, Little Big Planet, Medal of Honor, and Syphon Filter, but none of them are fun online, especially Medal of Honor, due to people hacking so they can fly in the air and walk through walls and shit, and I saw this happen on my first and only time playing that game online, so god knows what else they do.

So sadly, I've come to the conclusion that psp go sucks. :\

because playing a single player game on your portable console would be madness

Yes, some games are overpriced. $40 for a downloadable game is a bit steep. $30 is really the max they should charge, and even then it's still a bit too much. $20-25 is a reasonable price range for a quality title.

I could care less for multiplayer. Few people I know have PSPs and even fewer play the same games as I do. Besides, my battery life isn't that good even with wireless disabled. I'd hate to see how much shorter it becomes with it switched on.

My PSP broke a long while ago but now I'm too afraid of buying one because of PSP2. uguu. PSP is kinda dead in the water itself atm.
