Good gravy people, could you bitch MORE?! I like it! The one reason that I do not own or play the PSP is because of the bulky size. This is perfect! So what is it doesn't have two analog sticks/nubs?! Get over it! Neither did the first one, but that didn't stop people from buying that! I swear, they need to name this place Bitch-Central. >_<

@NeoAkira: Width & girth, yes... it was too bulky. I found that my fingers cramped and my hands fell asleep while playing the PSP. I hope that this will alleviate that.

Does anyone else think that the Start/Select button placement is crazy inefficient? There's so much wasted space

@Kremlin_King: Looking at the placement, it was probably an aesthetic decision.

It's definitely not a MyLO with gaming. Gone is the keyboard, the thing that actually made the MyLO somewhat useful and gave it a competitive edge against the iPod Touch, for instance.

I knew the next PSP was going to be a fusion, but I thought for sure they would add something to the PSP that actually made it more interesting and expanded the opportunity for gaming/communication/websurfing. If this is really the next PSP and that's all there is, then this Go is already gotup and gone.

@OMG! Bandwagons!: I suppose that's a possibility at this point, but I hope it isn't true. Touchscreen gaming is a horrible trend, in my opinion. I'd rather see Sony go the other way and cede the casual end of the market to the DS and Touch and instead focus on games with more functionality, and add some communication layers that the others won't have. Competing with the DS and Touch at this point seems sorta silly.

BTW can someone explain to me this OMG! thing? I'm feeling left out. Does Ponies have cancer or something?

@weatherman: People have been asking that a lot and I think its been answered several times, but give this a read through [gizmodo.com] There's a few reasons. Some people are doing it kind of as a "raising a glass" of sorts.

@joelydanger: I just watched the video (now back up on youtube via CrunchGear), and it looks like there's no touchscreen. SO that basically means there is really very little that the new PSP actually brings to the table. Some more memory, a smaller form factor... what else? Nothing that the end user will appreciate or which will improve gameplay. And the added price (I'm thinking $249) will likely make it far less popular even than the original.

I had high hopes for the PSP, having been a long time fan of the platform. But I think Sony is blowing it again with this.

@hanspecans:

I would disagree with that. I got a PSP 1003 at the UK launch. It was so much fun. Then I hombrewed it and doubled the fun. The best portable gaming device still. I now am less gamer-y and have (until it got washed) and iPod touch. It is fun but you can't beat the old PSP for good gaming experience. It was the first good potable browser for the masses, the first hombrew for the masses also tried hard to be the first multimedia device (the iPod video stole its thunder). I truly believe that the PSP was one of the best devices of its time and it was definitely not a turd. This should breathe some life into the PSP. But with the iPod touch being touted as the future of handheld gaming I do feel that unless the PSP gets some killer use, games or becomes some ultra cool multimedia device this may be too little to late.

Anyone touting the iPod touch as the future of handheld gaming is a crazed, ignorant moron.

@Thaddeus: It's just a redesign. Adding a second nub would be useless for older games, and would newer games unplayable for people with older PSPs.

@Matt Heimlich: exactly, I agree 100%. yet another reason why it would be a dumbass move for sony to add a second analog nub to the PSP-G. It amazes me how legions of people just simply can't understand that simple concept. dual analog nub = bad idea.
