Unboxing the PSP Go

ComputerandVideogames.com say:

"PSP GO! launches on October 1 but below is a movie of one of the first PSP Gos in the wild (also known as the GamesRadar office). Watch it to see them "mumble about it a bit and try to rub the fingerprints off unsuccessfully." Their words, not ours."

yea, too bad the Zune isnt built to play games. instead it was built to have a losing fight against the ipod touch.

IDetonation5375d ago

My friend dropped his Zune 1 foot off the ground.

Broken.

Good job, MS.

Cwalat5375d ago

If this is unboxing then i'm Alfred Nobel.

ross1025375d ago

hense its an unboxing :-P

Cwalat5375d ago

That's probably the testkit from Sony, the package is all white... where's the charger, headset, manuals, usb cable?

...and i doubt the PSP Go is already charged and don't even have to pull the ON/OFF switch to turn it on. =/

ross1025375d ago

to get my hands on this looks so sexy!

PLAYINB3YOND5375d ago

very nice and all but for roughly the same amount of money I can buy a PS3 slim, i kniow what i'd rather have and it wouldn't be this. I'll stick with my PSP 1000 thankyou very much.

ross1025375d ago (Edited 5375d ago )

you cant compare the two they are two totally different products its like saying "im not getting an iPhone because for less money i can have a ps3 slim" no comparision pspgo is a HANDHELD gaming system.

jav09185375d ago

And its a gaming system none the less. It still does the same thing a ps3 does, it plays video games. I agree with comment #3. Get a Ps3 Slim instead and stick with the old PSP.

Sitdown5375d ago (Edited 5375d ago )

1.)You can get an iphone for $99 2.)An iphone is a phone first.....a psp is a gaming platform first, and a ps3 s a gaming platform first...so you can't really use that comparison.

With that said, I would love to get one of these because of the size. If Sony gives a good option to replacing my UMDs I am definitely in...

ross1025375d ago (Edited 5375d ago )

a nintendo dsi is £140 in england and a wii is £179.99 do i hear people moaning about the price? no i only ever hear people moan about the price of sony products....strange that isnt it

Marceles5375d ago

I think they're competing with the iPod touch in terms of value. A 16GB iPod touch is $300, so $250 probably seems like a much better value for what you're getting.

Microsoft Xbox 3605374d ago

@Sitdown

Did you really say the iPhone is $99? No its not. You are signing a two year contract with AT&T to go along with that price. If you wanted an iPhone with no commitment it would cost you closer to $400-600. Apple will never price the iPhones cheaper than the iPod Touch. Did you ever think about that?

Sitdown5374d ago (Edited 5374d ago )

Did you ever think that if I am going to buy an iphone that I am going to use it as a phone......and therefore being locked into a contract does not bother me. So therefore you can get an iphone for $99, actually $50 right now for the refurbished model. Calm on now...clearly you didn't think your response through. I have been with current cellphone provider for over 4 years, and don't have a commitment phobia...so 2 years is nothing. But even before that, why do you think apple would not make make the iphone cheaper than the ipod touch?

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow9d ago

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.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1828d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie8d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere7d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow7d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"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.

Cockney7d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

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?

Inverno8d ago

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.

Inverno8d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii8d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno8d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
