The PSPgo is the first total design change for the PSP hardware, and has received enormous criticism and praise from many consumers. It’s also the first all-digital PSP, costs $249, and still has left many wondering what will happen to their UMD discs. I was invited to attend a special hands-on demonstration of the PSPgo at the SonyStyle store here in Atlanta, Georgia the day before Sony will allow anyone to check out the PSPgo for themselves. Of course, you will still have to wait until October 1st to buy the device. Nonetheless, it was great to come back to the store, as I have always found it well designed and portrays almost all Sony products perfectly. The quality of the pictures in this post are the highest we’ve ever shot, as Sony allowed me to use a new A850 DSLR for this pictorial. Outstanding. A huge thanks to a special someone in Sony Media Relations for hooking us up with this opportunity.
Here is a video we shot covering the experience with additional hands-on with the PSP Go (if you don’t see the video yet, come back in a few hours and it will be up):
Many of you know the specifications of the PSP Go, but I will restate some of the key points – the PSP Go does not feature a UMD drive, but instead has 16GB of internal flash memory to store games, video, and other media. This can be extended by up to 32GB with the use of a Memory Stick Micro (M2) flash card. Unlike previous PSP models, the PSP Go’s rechargeable battery is not removable or replaceable by the user. The PSP Go feels very light – its so much lighter than the regular PSP and will definitely surprise you when you first hold it. The unit is 43% lighter and 56% smaller than the original PSP-1000, and 16% lighter and 35% smaller than the PSP-3000. It has a 3.8″ 480
