The Sixth Axis writes: "A couple of weeks ago I gave you 10 reasons not to buy a PSPgo. I thought they were all valid though some were more subjective than others. At the time I said that I would follow it up with 10 reasons to buy a PSPgo. I have to admit that I have not been able to come up with ten reasons that make sense but after a late night viewing of Donnie Darko to get myself into a suitably twisted mental state where I can try and justify spending a Frank-ly ridiculous amount of money on a new iteration of the PSP hardware I do have five reasons for you.
It is my personal belief that Sony are simply testing the digital-only waters with the PSPgo in preparation for launching a digital-only PSP2, perhaps as soon as October 2010. That we might see the PSP2 as soon as next year is pure speculation on my part but I am more certain that the PSPgo is the last-hurrah for the PSP. Maybe we will know more after Cologne but even being able to jump forward 28 days 6 hours 42 minutes and 12 seconds would not get me to GDC/Gamescom so we will just have to wait."
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
nice article.
i hate UMD. it really pain my ass!!!!
another reason buy PSPGO:
M$ has no own handheld game console. LOL
Why?
Same battery life
I can get used UMD's for dirt cheap and trade/sell mine
Bigger screen
and its probably going to take more than half a year to crack the PSPgo because its going to have new hardware AND the 5.51 software. You need to have firmware 5.03 to get all the good stuff like PSX and homebrew, 5.51 hasn't been exploited and its getting harder and harder for the firmware to get exploited so it may not happen (it will be past 5.51 by october). I can play thousands of games with the cracked firmware!
I'm not paying $250 bucks for bluetooth!
I can get a 16 gb memory stick
No CFW.
