Well, the DSi actually upped the specs a bit. Maybe the PSPGo does too, just unannounced. I don't remember the DSi being announced as having improved hardware either.

Yeah, like others I'm pretty disappointed with this. You get less for more. I can't see anybody upgrading to it, I would think only people new to the PSP will even consider a purchase. The “goodwill” program that Sony is working on for people with UMDs of “select titles” isn't very encouraging either.

I recently bought a PSP and was a little worried when rumors started surfacing of a new unit. However the more details I hear the better I feel about my purchase. I'll stick with mine for now, I highly recommend the nyko charger grip for playing at home. It adds about 5 hours of play time and makes the PSP feel like a PS2 controller.

this product is a redesign for a console that doesn't need it, and in a blueprint that doesn't match the original console design/look. plus it's way expensive and not better in anyway.

F-A-I-L.

Also for those talking about memory... buy a micro sd to memory stick adapter and the price of 16GB will instantly come down like falling rocks. at least half that $75 value

Wow, worse battery life, higher price tag, and sketchy details on backwards compatibility/ having to rebuy games…

Doesn't sounds so good…

I wonder why they have to decrease battery life in newer systems. The DSi also made this step backwards.
Apple just recently advanced battery life for the new MacBook Pro line. What up!

Since it's designed for “on the go” I thought that this would improve on the battery life along with memory, but I guess that's not the case.
4-6 hours would still cover most plane trips, but definitely not a road trip from L.A. to Corning, CA (which I do bi-monthly).
Hmm…

Not really a surprise. It's not the UMD that is sucking up most the juice, it's the backlight (and CPU, upping it to 333). Or so has been my experience with the PSP-2000

I also don't think it would be the laser that would eat the juice in any event, but spinning the disc.

I have the white 2000 too (the Jpn one w/o Vader) and the large 3.6v 2200 mAh battery, that thing does run a lot longer combined w/ 2000 instead of 1000. Right now I only have a 4Gb memory stick and several PSN games alrdy made it full.

W/ the ridiculous $250 price tag, smaller screen, and shorter battery life, it seems the more we hear about it the more undesirable it is.. If it's $150, then the shortcomings would be a tad more justifiable.

I've never really had a problem with even my PSP-1000's battery life. But I'm one of those guys who charges his batteries all the time when he gets home.

Only if people buy it. And needless to say, enthusiast's aren't exactly…twitchy on getting one of these.
