Tags: computer software, gadgets, difference between pspgo and the other psps
 The PSP is one of my favorite things from Sony. It can practically do anything I want it to do on the go other than be a mobile phone. Soon it's going to store all my marvel comic books for me and pretty soon, it's probably going to be my sole Comic book reading platform. But the thing is, PSPgo is coming out this week and we all really have to know: Are we going to buy the smaller, sexier version? It wouldn't be that hard a question if it actually did have all the capabilities that the PSP had, but that 's just the thing.

Although this is the latest model to hit the shelves, it won't have some of the features that the older ones do, the only compensation for it is that it's easier to fit in your pocket and it doesn't make you look like too much of a dweeb when you're carrying it around. So before I do anymore random ranting, let's take a look at the facts, shall we? So what is the big difference between PSPgo and the other PSPs? For one thing the it’s less bulky because of its sliding controls. An ordinary PSP has controls at each side, like a Gameboy Advance while the slide effect makes it look like a sleek cell phone.
Some people might worry about how the controls might be for those with bigger hands but that simply isn't the most pressing issue. The snug control makes it comfortable for most people to hold, because a lot of us are probably used to using smaller cell phones. Generally, people who are getting into a PSP will want to go for PSPgo because of how it looks. The features are almost as good as the older models, but it won't be as appealing to gamers who already own the earlier versions. For one thing, owners of the handheld won’t be able to transfer the games that they’ve amassed. Bluetooth will let you enjoy a lot of new features that older models didn’t have but it “go” will also be missing out on easier file transfer because it won’t have a USB connector. It comes at the hefty price tag of $250, $80 dollars more expensive than the PSP3000 and it comes with all the pros and cons listed above. Personally I’d rather go for this rather than getting Zune HD simply because I expect to get a great set of games. It’ll feel less embarrassing to lug it around and it has an app store that is pretty comprehensive. So I’d like to encourage new users to try this out but if you already own a PSP slim or the 3000 for that matter, it’d be better for you not to get it if you don’t want to spend the extra cash on it and end up not being able to play your old favorites on it. via Wired
