Looking Into The Innovative PSP Go Features

The most recent release of Sony’s videogame portables isthe PSP Go, made public in the autumn of 2009 at the E3 expo. The PSP Go features are noticeably different to previous machines in the line, and unite to supply aclassy and practical differentiation to the popular series.

The initial, and likely most discussed, of the PSP Go features to stray from older models is the absence of the UMD drive. Previous models have employed this media avenue for both games and videos, but the PSP Go gets rid of it completely. Instead, Sony intend for all software for the PSP Go to be downloaded onto the sixteen GB of internal memory. This brave ploy will be facilitated by the PS store, which is compiling a vast library of games and films to be made available on the PSP Go features.

The formerly discussed 16 GB of memory is flash based, and is free to be extended to 32 GB by the memory stick micro. This PSP Go feature delivers a vast base of memory so players won’t be stuck for room. The screen is a little reduced since the PSP 3000, but offers a much more focussed display at 480×272 pixels. The screen shelf is slid upwards to reveal the buttons and d-pad, which also offers an analogue stick.

The PSP Go retains all the fundamental features of its original, including wi-fi accessibility and connectivity to the PS store both on its own or via a PS3. Sony are aiming to make all previous UMDs accessible in the store, and game players can also find ‘Minis’, a brand new range of cheaper games from classic ranges such as Tetris and Megaman.

So there’s a quick introduction to the PSP Go features. The console retains the classic feel and specs of the progenitor, while presenting a dynamic new design and leading edge media capabilities. Sony have announced that exclusively downloading titles is the dream for all games in the future, and the PSP Go is preparing the ground for a new step in gaming history.
