Sony finally announces the new PSP Go
Although the fact that someone leaked a load of pics may have something to do with the timing!
I should wait for the official announcement at E3 (when we were intended to find out about it) before I comment but my first impression is a little underwhelmed.
I’m not too keen on the new design (it slides apart now!). I prefer the old one to be honest, but thats only my personal preference.
The biggest change is that they’ve dumped the UMD drive and replaced it with 16GB of on-board flash memory. Getting rid of the UMD drive is a good thing but 16GB is a little miserly when you consider the size of PSP games. iPods come with about 120GB of space as standard now so you would expect a new PSP to at least equal it. Do Sony want us to buy lots of games or not?
Strangely they have shrunk the screen size to 3.8 inches. Probably to squeeze some more battery life but I can’t help thinking this is a step backwards.
But, like I said… We should wait until Sony officially tell us about it. I am being negative about unconfirmed speculation.
If they announce a load more PSP games in development, more integrated connectivity to the PlayStation Network for online gaming and bringing trophies across to the PSP. I would be very happy!

Remember the original Nintendo DS didn’t really get up to full speed until the DS Lite came out too.
