Hey everyone, Charles here again with another post. This time I thought I would review the new psp console – the PSP go.
When I first got my original playstation portable psp console – I loved how “solid” it felt and the thought that had gone into designing it. The only things I did not really like was that the screen is relatively easy to scratch (and so not for kids) and I found the little thumb controller annoying – but that is just me. Also, the battery life was not great.
I had been feeling for a while that the PSP overall needed an overhaul – particularly since its original inception the iPhone and other handheld smart phones had been introduced. As you can imagine I was very excited when the psp go was announced.
The design is simply fantastic – it looks more like the smart phones we are used to seeing now – and can see they could add this functionality if they wish later down the line.
I love the sliding control panel and sharp screen. The thumb controller on the Go is smaller (hooray!) and I have found it to be more accurate too. Another plus is that it is smaller than the original sony psp game console – but as it is download only (i.e no game discs) I would expect that. I also like the fact that you can pause a game and use other functions like watch a video or listen to some music – and go back to the game later on.
This psp games console was only released on 1st October 2009 so there are a few issues I think that Sony need to iron out. The only way to get games is to download them from the online Playstation store. At the moment the content on offer is not brilliant – but I am sure it will grow over time as more and more people buy a psp console.
Also, at the moment there is no way to push the classic games from the classic psp consoles over to the new ‘Go’. From what I have read Sony are planning to do something about this – and we will just have to wait for details.
Overall, a great stylish piece of kit with great battery life that will keep you entertained on the go.
