i read an article on that and it said the psp go! is a ripoff.
The PSP Go! is at the top of it's price. If you want to try and compare it to MP3 players it actually is decently priced. Touch screen MP3 players (which functionality/hardware to an extent rivals the PSP) are priced more then the Go by $50. Then you add in some stuff like having both WiFi and Bluetooth and the price starts to make sense.
Also there is still much more to the PSP Go! then we know. I'm still thinking that the hardware has been kicked up because of what it can do like:
- PSP Go supports game suspension function. You can suspend the game, bring up the XMB and use other functions; and even turn off the system. Later on you can resume the game from where you left off.
- Unlike traditional sleep function, this does not consume battery
This is more then likely a PSP Go! exclusive feature. IMO I bet the PSP Go! will have 128MB of RAM (double that of the current model). Unless Sony has found a way to do it on 64MB.
I also would not be surprised if this also has an OLED screen.
Over all I don't think people are looking at this as a "different PSP". Think of it like touch screen based MP3 players vs. physical button MP3 players. They both do the same things but the touch screen ones are more expensive because of what they do.
Also for those who don't remember when the PSP first came out here in America it was $249.99. $100.00 more then the Nintendo DS at the time.
