Our PSP Go Hands on Preview.

We got our shiny PSP Go yesterday and are still working it through its paces before we can give you our unbiased review on the new system. So far we can sum up the main positive points and negatives points of the unit as follows: (So far there are more dislikes than likes…)

PSP Go likes:

Its smaller so more pocketable

The screen, while smaller is the best yet we think in a PSP. It has a good contrast ratio. Black is black, no greyish looking black. No ghosting either!

USB data and charge cable in one is nice. No extra cable require

Dual Shock controller support via bluetooth is a nice bonus for PS3 owners

Save state feature / Pause feature rocks. This is really cool.

PSP Go dislikes:

Cramp controls take a long time to get use too, specially the Shoulder buttons. People with giant hands best avoid the PSP Go.

No battery info in the firmware? OR we can’t find it. How do we tell the remaining battery life ??

No UMD or way of registering my UMD’s and downloading them to my PSP Go.

Everything is now via PSN since we have no UMD drive.

Major flaw we think – No God-damn Wireless 802.11g speeds. If its all PSN downloads at least give us faster wireless speeds.

PSP Go focuses on porablity, yet there is no changeable battery. Big fail there. Why Sony?

No preloaded demos on our N1004 PSP Go..

No wireless internet = No games to play.
