The Gods be praised! Sony has finally stepped up and brought a facelift with the PSP Go to their portable play station series. It is ever so smaller than the old PSP 3000, closer in size to the iPhone but just a touch bigger then it with rounder corners. And no, they have not brought in a touch screen, as nice as touch screens are they are nowhere near as accurate as they need to be to make the complex games for play station work. In fact they screen is bigger, 3.8” LCD screen thanks to the slide out control design just like the Nokia N97 or N900 series. Check out a video presenting the new PSPGo:

The changes for the PSP Go do not stop there though: while they have kept the wireless capability from the older models they have added a Bluetooth to it too. Not just being true to the saying that everything is better with Bluetooth but if your phone and network support it, they can actually connect to the internet using the phone as a modem giving you a new definition of mobility for your entertainment center. Even more Sony has finally decided to give up their UMD drive in the PSP Go series.

Of course the change of the PSP Go to a Memory Stick Duo only support has met quite a strong opposition but that is only to be expected given the natural tendency to resist change. But the change itself is good although the support for the internet store is only in its beginning and there will be some time until everything is put right so that no critics will be heard. However taking in to consideration that the PSP Go comes with an internal memory of 16 GB there are still reasons to rejoice.

The fact that the UMD drive is out in the PSP Go series also brings two other important benefits to the device. On the one hand it has allowed for a much smaller, compact and silent built and that also means it is more energy efficient. The battery life has increased as a result so now you can take the fun with you wherever you go for as long as you want to.

Besides the gaming capabilities which were a given for any play station the PSP Go also is able to connect to the internet, streaming videos and music on line, keeping in contact with friends via the pre-installed Skype connection. They have given up the mick that the former PSP had so it’s back to the classic headphones with mick. The upside though is that with the huge hard drive they are putting in now it is ever so easier to keep a couple of movies handy or to download them instantly from the internet. The PSP Go is capable of rendering HD movies for up to 8 hours so keep one handy just in case the things tend to get tedious.

The PSP Go is probably the best move Sony made with their play station in order to face up to the challenge brought by the ever rising market of smart phones, tablet pcs, virtual book reading devices and so on. But where they really have the chance to be the best is that they have started from a proven gaming console – which is at the heart of any virtual entertainment concept – and added an entire range of capabilities that make the PSP Go a powerful contender in any mobile multimedia device market.

Although great as a standalone there is a whole range of PSP accessories that would make life so much easier if they were bundled together with the device as soon as it came out of the box. But given that they are not, and that sooner or later you will need one or the other PSP accessories bundle from Crazy on Digital is a $15 well spent and should be done together with the PSP itself.

The first of the PSP accessories that come with this pack are the hard and soft cases. You can use the soft case around the house, just to make sure you don’t get to much dust gathering on the PSP while you are not using it while the hard case can be taken outside and it provides a good deal of protection in case you happen to drop it or bump in to something hard. The PSP will fit very snuggly in the hard case so it won’t be rattling around so it is safe although you could get other cases in the PSP accessories range this one comes bundle with so many other goodies.

Like the USB cable which should have been included in the PSP accessories that come with the station itself. Not only does it allow connecting to a Play Station but it allows the PSP to be connected with a computer so you can download your favorite music, movies and pictures in the device. However the USB cable is ever so much more useful because it also connect to the car charger allowing you to charge the PSP while on the go, on trips or just waiting in traffic commuting from one place to another. And in case the original charger breaks down there is also a wall socket included in the PSP accessories bundle that connects via the USB cable.

Two more items complete this PSP accessories bundle and they are the earphones, simple white ones, but providing the good sound quality you would wish for in those situations where it’s just not convenient to use the great speakers built in the PSP. And the seventh item is a screen guard which is probably one of the best investments made in your PSP since nothing is more annoying than trying to play with nasty scratch right in the middle of what is one of the best screens on the market. Bundling all these PSP accessories in one simple buy just makes sense when you thing of the many hours of fun you will be getting from the PSP 3000.

It is painfully clear for anyone who has ever held a PSP 3000 that unless a good quality PSP case is provided the great quality finish of the black plastic cover will irreparably be ruined. It is perhaps the only real want of what is in fact the most mobile play station on the market today. With its high contrast, glare-resistant screen it can go and it can be used where no other entertainment device can go but unless a suitable PSP case is provided its days are numbered.

The PSP case from CTA has both a belt loop on the back and also a clip loop so that it can be worn either way and, perhaps after reading some of the other reviews on line, the team have added a nice thick piece of cloth over the protruding bolt that keeps the clip loop in place. So now the protection is complete thanks to the middle flap that locks the PSP in place even when the case is open.

Another great add on is the Bluetooth module that the PSP Go has.

Where the PSP Go really comes it to its own is when you actually start playing a game. After the foreplay of online research, downloading and installing the game even if in sky resort cut off from the normal flow of internet thanks to the Bluetooth connection to the mobile phone, the game can begin and the Go can show that Sony has once again managed to provide the best gaming platform on the market today. The controls are simple and familiar, their position makes it so much easier to use and the high contrast and vivid colors of the screen make the experience as close to reality as only the inventors of the Greek myths saw them in their minds or the underground racers feel when racing for their lives or at least their livelihood.
