Anyone who thinks this redesign is good is a fanboy and/or an idiot. A lot of design aesthetics are being violated here: tacky white border, silver screws, depressed buttons, etc. Not only that but there is no UMD slot, no battery slot, nothing; this effectively pisses on those PSP owners who wanted to upgrade to a newer system.

Sony has their head firmly entrenched in their ass this generation.

Redesign chatter aside, it bothers me that people are defending Sony's removal of the UMD slot. It *is* alienating the current user base and it's basically telling all the stores carrying PSP games to effectively fuck off. If they have a solution, like a UMD-ripping device or a way to download every game I've purchased previously, then no problem.

A lot of people still don't have the ability (or knowledge, lol) to be able to download large files so quickly and/or easily, and unlike say, the iPhone, I doubt new downloadable PSP games are going to be priced at around $1-$10 each. $30-$40 download-only 200mb-1+gb portable game titles don't strike me as a particularly appealing way to spike sales.

I probably come off like I have a Sony slant on this forum. I consider the PSP to be the best handheld gaming system. Infamous is easily my favorite game so far this year. I think this PSP Go is stupid.

the fuck?
it's more like a new model X360 not playing X360 disk games.

Seriously, no matter how much you love/hate the idea behind this design, it's exremely idiotic for then not have any type of transfer tool. I know someone is going to bring up the "but what if people start renting and transferring games" argument, but I don't care. Having to buy this new model but still needing the older PSP around for whenever I wanna play older games just defeats the purpose of portability or "GO!" as Sony likes to put it.

They still haven't officially announced anything yet. That's why I'm saying for you all to cool your jets.

The upside might be fire sales on remaining PSP software stock. It might almost be worth getting a PSP if I could get games like Megaman Powered Up for less than $10.

It's not really fair to judge the distribution model or how they will deal with existing UMD games yet. All we know is that there is a proprietary port on the bottom of the device. No word if there is or isn't going to be some way to play UMD games. That stuff is going to be shown on Tuesday.

and it's good to see that in Playstation land anything remotely negative to with Sony is always attempted to be palmed off as some sort of fanboy slim.

I have bought 5 PSPs over time, there's fucking 7 in the house right this second (including the wifes) and in excess of 200 UMD based fucking games.

The delusional "it's sony , they said it's for the best, i will fall in line with their PR message straight from the mothership like a mindless fucking drone" attitude is fucking infuriating. If you can't see ANY of the negative points of this machine.... then tsk.

I see negative points, but the negative points are brought by people who this device probably isn't for. As Sony said, this isn't a new PSP, it's to go alongside the PSP 3000. Who gives a flying fuck if you can't play your UMD's on it if PSP 3000's are still going to be sold? You don't see me crying a river because my iPod games don't work on my iPhone.

Besides, half of you crying about the big internet sizes and all DD are the same distinguished mentally-challenged fellows who pirate PSP games anyways.

Which is why THE PSP 3000 WONT BE DISCONTINUED.

As Sony said, this isn't a new PSP, it's to go alongside the PSP 3000. Who gives a flying fuck if you can't play your UMD's on it if PSP 3000's are still going to be sold?

....

so....

there's a whole slew of sony fans outside the XX million who already invested in PSP's who are just waiting in the wings for an internet redesign?

or Sony are going to expect some of that fanbase to buy another machine with the same abilities in a redesign but without the software base they either bought or pirated?

sounds completely fucking dumb to me and exactly the sort of thinking that is fucking sony up.

All that said, transfer tool would be awesoem for UMDs but i doubt it'll happen as that opens up the danger of someone hacking the licensing tool and backwards engineering this and they end up with no sales again.

I wonder what the price will be?

Quote

the lack of a UMD slot makes it a bit tricky and creating a UMD transfer tool is a security risk, so until something is announced, we shall see. At the moment , and because i've heard nothing else, i cannot see how this can play UMD games or movies at the moment.

I don't know, but I don't think this will be marketed towards their established fan base, rather towards new comers. Five bucks says it comes with a free $10 PSN card

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #140 on:** May 30, 2009, 11:04:54 PM »

1. Yes, I meant UMDs. I think that's pretty obvious, but I guess I might have to go a bit slower here, seeing the way you've responded.
2. Most handheld gaming devices have internal batteries, that's true. But inaccessible batteries? No, not really.
3. That's why I said "might", and I think it's a safe assumption, as absolutely no device is perfect for everyone. Interestingly you didn't use this logic to address my listing of this point in the positive column, but hey - whatever, man.
4. Yes, we do. You can visually eyeball the ports and connections this machine has. They're different.
5. Yes, we do. You can eyeball the buttons on the machine. When it's closed, it has three accessible buttons. Maybe it comes with a remote? I don't know. You can get a remote for the existing PSP, though, without losing those buttons.

And yes dur hur hur the PSP 3000 will be sold alongside it. But that has nothing at all to do with what I'm asking, which is why *anyone* would choose the GO over the 3k.

1. Weren't you one of the ones crying about UMDs in the first place, and now you're sad they're gone? I'm not sad in the least bit that they're gone.
2. The PSP Go's battery is about as inaccesable as any other device. We don't know what the internal looks like and we won't until it gets launched.
4. We don't know if there will be adapters or not.
5. Who knows they won't announce that it's a touch screen or something? That's what I was getting at.

And why would someone choose the Go over the 3K? Easy. Someone who doesn't have any UMD's at all.

The fanboys keep failing to address the fact that this redesign fucks over the PSP's existing userbase. They might find it to be cold and lonely by setting those bridges on fire. Not really sure what incentives Go would offer to bring the gamers to the yard. Gran Turismo and Metal Gear won't really cut it. Even fewer incentives to make PSP users ditch their previous models and disc games for this new model. Except for those who have a lot of money and not a lot of common sense.

S'cuse ma iggorance senior, but what's a propriety port?

A port that's made specifically for the device/Sony products/etc. A USB 2.0 cable used on the old PSP is also used for most devices. Any cable can really be used because it is a common jack. What they have now seems like it's for a specific wire that the PSP Go uses. Basically, all ipods use proprietary connectors instead of usb.

I'll step aside and become a "fanboy" for a second and say that again, how in any way does this fuck over the PSP's existing userbase? Sony will still be releasing UMD's of the games, and still selling the PSP 3000. It's like saying the DSi fucks over the DS userbase because some games are available over DSiWare, but not really, in that, the PSN games will be coming out on retail.

If Sony announced that they weren't printing anymore UMD games and that they were discontinuing the PSP 3000 then yes, this would be fucking over, but no, it doesn't do any of that, at all.

if i upgrade to a dsi, i can take all the games i already own to the DSi.
i don't presonally see the point and i haven't upgraded.

However, if i did want a PSP Go! because i liked the design/it's thin/etc then i would have (until it's announced otherwise) no way to play the games i have already bought.

Also, i have four (yes i know) batteries for my PSP for long flights and travel. Again, yeah, you're right - i don't have to upgrade because PSP3000 etc etc, but isn't that exactly the point? if people are already saying "oh you own a PSP but you have this qualm? fine, you don't have to upgrade" seems to already spell out that this is going to be a bit of a disaster unless they have a UMD solution.

I was being serious

. I used to own a DS Lite but sold it, and I want to play Rhythm Heaven as I loved Rythym Tengoku. But, DSi Ware seems kinda lame so far :/

In the Qore video they mention it a lot, even ending by saying "they're about to play it." The rumors about the Go, which was highly specific about the looks and name of the device, were all true and they also said that Gran Turismo PSP is launching with the thing. Seems like it actually might finally come out.

if it has a mem stick option, then why would they even bother with this.

If they are doing some sort of different lock out on the HDD :/

It uses ms micro or something smaller now. I wouldn't be surprised if they only allowed games on the internal memory, and everything else (movies, music, saves, etc.) on the memory stick.

I'm not quite sure who this is aimed that. Existing PSP owners are going to be hesitant to upgrade, and new users will probably just be confused by the strict DDL model.

What I don't understand is why Nintendo and Sony aren't making true successors. I thought the dsi would at least have tilt and a second touchscreen. After the success of the ds and smartphones I figured if the next psp wanted to be relevant they'd incorporate at LEAST a touchscreen.

It took like, 11 years to get a true gameboy successor and thats a sad precedent to follow.

The DS still sells well. A 2006 release (NSMB) still manages to sell pretty decently, as I'm sure Mario Kart DS does as well. I don't really think Nintendo is going to cut their total sales short by rushing out an unnecessary successor. It probably won't be 2015 until we get the DS2 but there is still another couple of years at least.

As for Sony, they seem more focused on curbing piracy (which may be temporary; the PSP Go could easily be hackable) than worrying about the long term. With the Monster Hunter Portable craze nearly cashed out, there ain't much life left on the handheld. The PSP Go will probably strangle the little momentum that is left. I don't have much faith in LBP selling (it sold like ass on the PS3) and who knows if Gran Turismo is actually coming out for the thing.

Sony bashing at Evilbore, who would've thought.

All this shit-ass fuckshow of a redesign means for me is that when I re-buy a PSP, it will be an old model, which = cheaper price

Sfags on gaf are working overtime on Sunday to defend this hideous thing...

I was hoping to get some cheap PSP,but now i am not sure how the market will react...

Older PSPs have everything
You can choose between UMD or DD
Plays everything
Bigger screen
Better design
Hackable(3000 not...yet)

New PSP is more like some PSP tard pack...

Agreed. I can't believe they botched it this hard, it's insane. Sony should've just stolen the design from the overzealous sfags of the blogosphere...

Get it together, Sony!

Thats dissapointing you'd reccomend the Lite over the DSi. I guess I would be smart not buying a DSi though, as I got bored of my DS insanely fast (not a big handheld gamer)

Soo..why would retailers want to stock a game system they can't sell games for, anyways?

Because they love Sony of course.

The 3000 would still be receiving game releases on UMD's, and they could also stock on game boxes that contains manuals and download vouchers like they did with Patapon 2.

But that would still piss off EB/GS and Gamecrazy from losing potential used sales.

Patapon is going to backfire. Anyone who has ever worked in retail will tell you that people are dirt stupid and Gamestop will be flooded with returns on the thing when people open it and don't find a UMD inside.

I was interested in Patapon 2, but as soon as it went DDL only, I lost interest.

Do you buy DDL games on PSN? I'm curious what difference it makes on a console versus a handheld. I don't mind not owning hard copies of full DDL games likes Warhawk and Tekken 5 DR Online, for example. If I ever got Burnout Paradise, I'd get the DDL version too. PC users don't seem to have problems with Steam releases either.

You can get the European version. It got retail disc release.
