Given the fact that there are already numerous reviews for the PSP, it would seem redundant to do another PSP Go review. So for this piece, I will just be concentrating on my personal impressions for this portable behemoth rather than go deep into the PSP Go Specs.
Slide design - A lot of my friends seem to hate the PSP Go's new design - but I personally like it. The design makes the PSPgo as a whole smaller - making it more portable. It also makes me look cooler and attract more ladies, haha! ;)
Buttons - The new PSP Go button layout felt a little cramped to me, especially on the triangle, circle, square, x side. When playing in the dark, I often accidentally press the circle button thinking that it's the x button.
But putting that minor complaint aside, the face buttons on the PSPgo actually 'presses' better than older models! I love the 'clicky' feel to it. It sorta feel like the DSi buttons. On the other hand, the shoulder button feels so 'mushy' - I mean, there's no click.
I could easily say that the older models' shoulder buttons felt better. Oh, the select and start buttons - it could get a little getting used to, kinda confusing especially if you have been used to the old side-by-side design in older models.
Other buttons - The first time I unpacked my PSP Go, I was like holy crap, how do you change the volume on this thing. I had like 5 minutes thinking that I can't, haha. Anyway, the volume, equalizer and the brightness controls are now located on the top part of the bottom half - a little inconvenient if you ask me. I would prefer it on front, but oh well.
Bluetooth - Yeah, but as of now, I have not tried it yet (maybe I'll update this when I do). But what the store said is that I could connect my DualShock via bluetooth and use that as a controller, or maybe connect with a bluetooth headset. Those I still have to try.
Screen - Freakin' brighter than my old PSP 1000 and 2000! I'm not sure if PSP 3000's have the same crispiness and vividness. The screen looks a little smaller than usual PSPs though. :)
Storage - The PSP Go has a whopping 16GB worth of internal memory! (Though technically, only 14GB). Anyway, for the external card, it now eats up Memory Stick Micro (M2) flash card. More PSP Go games you can play, the better...
Cable - This one is crap. The old mini-USB compatibility is now gone. It means that old cables from the old PSPs would not work anymore. The new proprietary cable also doubles as the connector to the powerbrick. Speaking of power, the rechargeable battery cannot be replaced by users.
Overall - The PSP Go Price here in the Philippines is about 12k Php or $270 but only $178 in Amazon
. It's pretty expensive considering that the 3DS just came out. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with the purchase. :)Thanks to Kyousuke Kawachi for making this review!
