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."
(When they were talking about it a few months back we (family, we all have PSPs)
Seriously, if you have kids its time to put the thumb toys down.
There is no point in raising yet another generation who's greatest goals in life revolve around wiggling thumbs while staring vacuously at a tiny glowing screen.
One such generation in per hundred years is enough.
Yeah, because it was, um, Sony's idea to ditch DRM on all of the iTunes store content.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
Were you fucking dropped as a child, or what?
Exactly. But this is Slashdot, home of the loserboy nerd who lives off his parents' income while whining and spouting bullcrap about "revolutions" and other nonsense while furiously masturbating in his feces.
You are perfectly right: people do not revolt as long as there is food on the table. They revolt when they have nothing to lose and our lords and masters have learned their lessons well: they'll leave us just enough to eat, while always threatening to take it away, and we'll behave. Afterwards, when we're all disarmed for our own safety and less-than-lethal anticrowd devices are in the hands of privately-funded security firms, it will be too late to do anything. Even to snivel on the intershit.
Geeks are so full of shit that "beating the crap out of them" takes a whole new meaning.
and here you faggots are posting on Slashdot.
Get a fucking life, dweebs!
Oh my god you are such a loser. How many times must people rehash the same tired old Troll BS. If you actually stopped being an armchair quarterback and stopped talking out the side of your ass, and actually used the PSN or a PSP, you'd know that you can re-download any game you want up to 5 times, and *backup* your game to your computer and keep it and re-transfer as much as you want, FOREVER.
