PSP Go Debuts, Disappoints
Sony has now officially launched the new version of their portable game console, the PSP Go, and the Opposable Thumbs blog took it for a spin to see how they liked it. Their impressions of the new hardware are almost entirely negative, despite being fans of the original PSP. One major point of contention was Sony's removal of the UMD drive in this revision, making it so you need to access the PlayStation Store to buy games. This kills price competition and used game sales in one fell swoop, while also making owners of any original PSP games unable to play them on the new hardware. The review says the new device looks sleek, but the dimensions make it somewhat cramped and awkward to use unless you have small hands. They also decry the switch to proprietary cables, and sum up their opinion by saying, "When your older, cheaper hardware is better and more able than your new offering, you need to fire some designers."
Who cares what the Japs do to themselves?
If Sony's customers are all from Japan, they can even put a chain to their PSP Go and nobody would even bother
Fact is Sony's customers come from all over the world, and if they are enforcing the "Japanese attitude" on us and expect that we comply, well... Sony can go to hell
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !
