Sony released a few days that the new version of its handheld console. The PSPgo knows many changes (I did not say "improvements" ...) compared to previous versions of PSP. The most notable change is with the dematerialization of UMD, in other words, it is possible to play its games on the PSP PSPgo because it will now download first ... This problem is at the heart of several current controversies . Let's review a few all ...
The first most notable new feature is the lack of UMD drive which requires the download of games you want to play. I return to this point later.
The second novelty of the PSPgo compared to its counterparts (the PSP-1000, PSP-2000 and PSP-3000) lies in its design. The screen slides up to the way a mobile phone. The PSP also becomes smaller, losing a few inches to the passage of his superb diagonal screen from 4.3 to 3.8 inches (10.92 cm to 9.65 cm). However, this shrinkage occurs without loss in resolution that is in 480 × 272.
The keys of the game have also been revised: they are smaller and now located below the screen. Some think that the buttons are now too small for adult hands.
In terms of connectivity, nothing changes compared to the PSP-3000 that already had the video output, built-in microphone, USB and Wi-Fi except that the PSPgo now supports Bluetooth 2.0 . The memory card format also changes: the Memory Stick Duo, you pass the Memory Stick Micro (M2). But they were apparently the same price.
Another drawback is the battery level is now fixed. This is probably intended to prevent any intrusion hack through it (I remember that the PSP-1000 and 2000 were crackables easily via this means using the batteries changed, "Pandora").
The controversy PSPgo
______________________________________________________________
Smaller, lighter but with similar performance, the PSPgo could be a portable, very appreciated. However, Sony has opted for paperless games console pocket.
It is now necessary to buy them online and then download the Flash memory of the console. The presence of flash memory is new in the PSPgo. The storage capacity of this memory is 16 GB To give an idea, knowing that a big image file PSP game average is about 1 GB, it could also accommodate up to 16 games. And since it is impossible to read his old games on the PSP PSPgo, Sony offers buyers the PSPGO download free 3 games that he has from a short list of securities ...
That said, the games will load faster using flash memory as via UMD. The irony is that players who are already using pirated games already benefiting from this fast since they store the image files of their games (usually in the form of ISO file) directly on the Memory Stick Duo in PSP. Speaking of piracy, I am not informed about the case but it does not say that PSPgo is easily hackable, when I see the manipulations required for the cracking of a PSP-3000 ...
Finally, the last unhappy with the dematerialization of video games are the dealers. Indeed, they, if they sell PSPgo not see again their beloved small customers in store as they will no longer need to buy "physically" their games. There would thus have a real boycott this machine from specialist dealers. This would explain why the PSPgo is not featured on some displays: do not confuse with any big sales since its release! Because apparently the PSPgo not sell more than that in the UK, some retailers were already offering discounts of 5 days after its release. Some critics ironically the situation by comparing the launch of PSPgo with that of the defunct Nokia handheld console, the NGage as illustrated below the drawing of the Tong.
_____________________________________________________________
In conclusion, if this PSPgo "some" benefits (not much) over previous versions, it has many drawbacks especially: the gameplay on the buttons smaller, dematerialisation games and high price (249 euros instead 169 for the previous). Let us not forget that what makes the qualities of PSPgo (quality graphics, games, multimedia capabilities) is inherited from previous PSP which currently cost less and are more "flexible" use.
The PSPgo part of a new movement of dematerialization of games that has several advantages for the publisher (price reduced distribution chain, direct contact with the purchaser) and players (price of 2 games to 10 euros EUR availability). Finally, if you remember my article on OnLive, you'll see what I mean ... the wise!
